📋 About This Mod
Vaultman30's Armor Extended SE
1. Merges all three of Vaultman30's mods--YAGA, Simple Hauberks, Early Medieval Helms, including the early version of the helms--into one esp. Also adds beast race compatibility thanks to aicy!
2. Dozens of re-textures and color variants of all V30's armors, as well as completely new sets from a variety of talented mod authors--padded, scale, mail, lamellar, coat of plates, etc--with crafting and tempering recipes. Clothing/armor leveled lists and shop inventories have been completely re-worked, as have NPC outfits to better reflect the new Dark Ages/Early Medieval aesthetics. Also added guard armors and new stuff to shops where it makes sense--for example, you can buy a set of guard armor at the local blacksmith, padded and other light armor where hunting supplies are sold, etc. Fur and woolen cloaks, as well as mantles have been added, and are available via crafting and shops, and are added to NPC outfits.
3. Replaces problematic (high fantasy and faux-Medieval) vanilla armors and clothing with appropriate assets to reflect loosely the period of 400-1200 C. E. i.e. the fall of Rome to the early crusades. We're talking Arthurian knights and Late Roman inspired gear on one end, and Norman-styled hauberks, surcoats, nasals and pothelms at the other, with everything else comfortably in the Migration/Viking/Dark Ages in between.
