        Compatibility

        The file contains meshes and textures, so you can view conflicts to see if any other mod conflicts with these files. The file will conflict with any mod that affects Faralda’s inventory.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires the original Robed Steel Plate Armor mod as a dependency, adding an extra install step.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Install the original Robed Steel Plate Armor mod first, then this mod, and ensure load order places this after.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the files and avoid overwriting issues.
  • If you're using a mod that changes Vigilant outfits, load this mod after it to ensure the armored robes take priority.
