📋 About This Mod
"You speak to a Vigilant of Stendarr. Cavort with any Daedra, and we will hunt you down."
Description
- []This mod adds a brand new armor set for the Vigilants of Stendarr. They come in Heavy (Steel tier), Light (Leather tier), and Cloth tier. The Cloth version comes with two predefined enchantments, Alteration and Restoration, to mimic default Vigilants of Stendarr's gear.
[
]The items in the set are : body armor, gloves, boots, hood. The hood is compatible with beast races.
- []The mod was modeled by me (Kreiste) and textured by SmolSaltLemon.
- []The outfits are compatible with vanilla bodies. However, bodySlide support is available for CBBE 3BA and HIMBO as optional download in Optional Files tab. Type "Vestment of The Vigilant" in the search bar or pick from the Outfit Groups "CBBE/HIMBO KSSSL - Vestment of The Vigilant" to locate them in Bodyslide.
[]Plugin flagged as ESL with 1. 71 header so you need BEES if you're still on 1. 5. 97 like me.
Integration
You can visit the Stendarr's Beacon and purchase the armor from Vigilant Bjorick. There are optional patches (explained below) to further integrate them into the world if you want more immersion; though not needed if you'd rather have the aesthetic for yourself.
- []There is optional patches that gives the outfit to Keeper Carcette and other (vanilla) Vigilant of Stendarr. Nothing will explode by using both at once but why would you.
-
[]One modifies the outfit record with ESP-FE plugin so other Vigilant NPCs added by other mod that uses the same outfit will be affected as well.
[
]The other one only gives the outfits to Keeper Carcette and any NPCs named "Vigilant of Stendarr" (including the ones added by other mod that bears this name as well). Requires po3/sasnikol's SPID.
- []There's an optional patch that allows you to craft it if you have the Amulet of Stendarr.
[
]There's an optional patch for Kris Takahashi's Interesting NPCs SE (3DNPC) users to give the outfit to Viranya. Requires po3/sasnikol's SPID.[]There's an optional patch for Ruhadre's Keeper Carcette Survives SSE users to give the outfit to Carcette the Survivor.

⚠️ Cons
