📋 About This Mod
The Wyrmstooth mercenaries which join you on your quest use some custom armors. These armors are unique mashups which add to the variety of the game. There are even retextures and refits available on Nexus, so you're all set.
BUT. I had a different situation when I installed some new textures for Complex Material and PBR. The unconverted Wyrmstooth armors look very different from the rest of the game's converted armors.
Until someone decides to convert the Wyrmstooth armors, I made this to have the mercenaries use some vanilla sets. I've matched the armor stats to the original unique armors so game balance is not affected.
This patch replaces Wyrmstooth's custom mercenary armors with vanilla sets, matching the original stats to preserve game balance. It's for players using Complex Material and PBR texture mods who want visual consistency. With 23 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional fix.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes the jarring visual mismatch if you're running Complex Material or PBR textures
- Keeps game balance intact by matching stats to the original armors
- Lightweight patch with a focused purpose—23 endorsements from folks who needed it
⚠️ Cons
- Loses the unique look of Wyrmstooth's custom armor mashups
- Small mod with limited reach (23 endorsements) so it's not widely tested
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Wyrmstooth's armors or vanilla armor stats
For Skyrim players who use Complex Material or PBR texture overhauls and want Wyrmstooth's mercenaries to blend in visually. Skip if you love the original custom armors or don't use those texture mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this patch after Wyrmstooth and your texture mods in your load order.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check that your texture mods are actually converting vanilla armors—this patch only helps if they do.
