📋 About This Mod
Hello!
UPDATE
All of the color variants are now standalone and craftable in game,
I've also made a new chainmail version of the gambeson.
Thanks to Urbon for implementing the colors for me!
This mod adds a brand new set of light armor to Skyrim that I designed for my current playthrough. It includes a casual variant for when you aren't out exploring or fighting, and a matching two handed sword.
Everything can be crafted at the forge with the Steel Smithing Perk, and can be upgraded too.
Full Support is available for Male, Female, Orc, Khajiit and Argonian characters. CBBE bodyslide files are also available as a optional file.
Permissions to create bodyslide files for other body mods is open.
The stats of the armor is comparable to the scaled armor set in vanilla. The sword swings slighter faster than your average greatsword.
Everything in the mod was created by me
I used Blender, Substance Painter, Gimp, BodySlide, Outfit Studio and Nifskope to create this mod.
If there are any problems let me know. User images are greatly appreciated

💡 Beginner Tips
