📋 About This Mod

OVERVIEW

Welcome to my very first actual mod for Skyrim! I always felt that The Elder Scrolls games were missing some armour for the beast races, and ever since ESO was released, I was itching to create my take on what I thought Khajiit warriors would wear in a place like Skyrim.

Armour and weapons are all purchasable from the Khajiit caravans. So is the book; Art of Khajiit Armour, which you have as a soft requirement to craft the armour.

I have added 3 new patches curated for 3 different types of load orders that all edit the same inventory chests for the Khajiit Caravans. Flagged as ESL. Can be found in miscellaneous files. Only use one that best reflects your load order.

Please give bientje an endorsement if you havn't already, they helped me so much in fixing my initial release, and this release too.

Changelogs "Reforged" (2023)

2. 0 - I re textured and re modeled the helmet. I re textured the leather materials on the under armour to facilitate both male and female. I added more enhanced variants, CBBE support and HIMBO support, and incorperated bientje's patch. New armor records, and less yellow weapon textures. The crafting recipes are different now, and less punishing. Now you must have the Art of Khajiit Armour book in your inventory in addition to the glass smithing perk for crafting.

2. 1 - All nif variants are made redundant aside from warmsands, as it has removed pauldrons. Texturesets are used for a more streamlined workflow, and all weight paints are updated. Gauntlets are patched, and there is now full Heavy Armour support.

2. 1. 4 - Re added ESL flag to esp. Updated Art of Khajiit Armor book, it is now a skillbook.

Optional - Inigo Style available in the optionals section!

Optional - CBBE and HIMBO 2. 1. 46 - Added less skimpy Female variant called "ArmorUp" as per many requests.

2. 1. 52 - fixed partitions, fixed some clipping on CBBE & HIMBO and the main mod.

2. 1. 6 - Fixed spawn rates for caravans.

2. 1. 7 - Gauranteed skill book drop chance, forwarded change to "silver buffs" esp as well. Added new cubemap to all weapons and armours, removed dependancy on "standalone underwear" for CBBE version. Added 1K version.

2. 2 - see changelog.

ARMOUR

The armour was the most fun to make It comes in a plethora of different colour schemes. It is also avaliable in heavy Armour as of 2. 1.+

As for balancing, as of version 2. 0+, I used bientje's patch as a base so it has his balancing tweaks, all but the Drozira variant. Its basically light and heavy, (but lighter) Daedric Armour. .... yeah that made no sense. <
