✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 151 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Adds vendor items and world edits, giving you new gear to find and buy.
- Rigged with XP32, so it should work with most body mods out there.
⚠️ Cons
- World edits in major cities can conflict with overhaul mods like JK's Skyrim, so load order matters.
- Requires XP32 Maximus Skeleton, so you need that dependency installed first.
- Last updated in June 2023, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim patches.
For Skyrim SE players who want new armour and weapons without a huge overhaul. If you're already using XP32 and don't mind tweaking load order, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're on a modlist that heavily edits Whiterun, Solitude, or Riften, or if you don't want to deal with compatibility headaches.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have XP32 Maximus Skeleton installed before adding this mod, or the armour will clip and break.
- Load Vigilant Arsenal after city overhaul mods like JK's Skyrim to avoid conflicts with its world edits.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily control load order and avoid overwriting other mods' changes.
