📋 About This Mod
Small tweak for the padded armor. I modified the textures in a way that it looks like the character is wearing a mail coat under the padded jacket, and removed the chainmail pads from the hips and boots.
Unfortunately the character now uses a chainmail satchel, because, for some reason, the model reuses the undersleeves textures in the satchel, and I couldn't fully reparate them.
Feel free to use the files for your own mod. If you have any questions, feel free to post in the mod discussion or send me a message.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a touch of realism for players who want their padded armor to look more protective
- Lightweight mod that doesn't affect performance
- Simple install—just drop the texture files in
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (14) suggests it's not widely tested or popular
- Last updated in 2021—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other texture mods
- Only affects one armor piece, so it's a minor change for most players
For Skyrim players who want a subtle visual upgrade to the padded armor without overhauling the game's look. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who values armor authenticity, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for major visual changes or gameplay tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, place the files in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid conflicts.
- If you use other texture overhauls, load this mod after them to ensure the mail coat effect shows.
- Check the mod's page for any compatibility notes, but since it's just a texture, it should work with most setups.
