📋 About This Mod
Vampire Hunter Chain Armor
Complete Set
Vampire Hunter Chain Armor
Includes: main armor (bodice), gloves, boots, circlet, pauldrons, and wings. All with its six color variations.
This Vampire Set is a piece of art, in my opinion, and for too long has not been updated to Skyrim's current modding scenario. The only working mod that brings us this set is Immersive Jewelry (although it contains only the chest armor and wings - no gloves, boots, circlets, pauldrons), and still is not fully compatible with CBBE body nor physics.
Finally, we can now all enjoy this Vampire Chain Armor back in its full glory, with all pieces in all color variations, standalone version, that can be craftable at any forge.
----------------------------
UPDATE: VERSION 2. 0!
After many requests from the community, I've included all three extra colors added later by newmiller (Copper White, Gold Purple and Steel Brown).
It also includes some minor fixes, and a total rework of Bodyslide files.
----------------------------
All pieces are set as Clothing (and not Light Armor), for obvious reasons: this is not an armor (in fact it is an almost naked outfit), and much better for players who play as vampire mages and will benefit for not wearing any armor (but only clothing).
Vampire Chain Set includes:
Installation
1. Download main file and install it using your Mod Manager.
2. Make sure the plugin is activated (it is ESL flagged, so it won't count in your plugin limit).
3. Load order is not important, but you can run LOOT if you want to.
4. Lastly, for the perfect match with your body preset, download optional Bodyslide files, install it, and run Bodyslide (select Vampire Chain Armor group and click on Batch Build).
All credits go to newmiller, original author of this wonderful set and creator of all meshes and textures.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CBBE 3BA installed before adding this mod, and run Bodyslide to build the armor if you want the best fit.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the plugin and file placement easily.
- If you're using a mod list that changes armor stats, check for conflicts in xEdit to avoid issues.
