I repeat, I am not taking requests, especially not for things completely outside the scope of this mod. Please don't post requests here after this because they simply will not be done. I have time constraints just like any normal person.
I will admit, I did not fully enjoy this mod, but I see it as a very good work, and way better than most "eye candy" bullload out there, so while I am sticking to vanilla, I am giving my endorsement.
As for why I didn't like... I dunno, probably too used to the regular boob armor by now, it is rather ingrained in my brain.
Good idea, but the execution is rather lacking. For at least some of the armors, all the mod does is just forcing the male model onto females and giving them a completely flat chest, while others DO give them some reasonably sized boobs. It's very inconsistent.
I'm just going to copypaste Illusen's link that might help you understand why I might have not stuck boobs on everything: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2013/05/boob-plate-armor-would-kill-you
The title itself should also have made it clear that this mod is not about other people's pantsfeelings, which tbh I'm not that interested in
I understand what you're aiming for, but it's one thing to have armor that isn't an obvious chainmail bikini and is just meant to protect you, and it's another to have armor that somehow completely eradicates a part of the wearer's body. Magic, perhaps?
If these armors still looked like male versions but were properly bulged where appropriate, then it would be all good. Having a visible outline of where the boobs are doesn't automatically make it sexy.
I know this is years late, but you do realize that boobs aren't harder than metal, right? Compression. Boobs are squishy. They can be flattened and compressed. There are many cultures across the world that practice breast-binding and flattening. Male rib cages are typically bigger than female rib cages, so when breasts are properly flattened or compressed, the chest will often look identical to a male's so long as it isn't bare.
Source? Me. I have bound my breasts many times. Slap a shirt on me and you couldn't tell the difference between my chest and a male chest. Bing bang boom.
Is this Jeanne d' Arc? Just asking. This might be a more realistic depiction of female armor, but still the waist looks a bit thin. Do you think it's been this way in the real life then? Because this seems like it would just make the wearer more vulnerable because it points all sharp attacks directly to the waist.
Yes, this Jeanne, sweet 16 or 17. No, I don't think it is a real armour {this image is from the 15th century}. She was a peasant, how could she have one made for her. {I really was just commenting about the 'mounds' some people seem to miss in this mod's armours; apparently no-one had missed those in this image (and a plethora of others like it) for hundreds of years ^_^.} I cannot recall to have seen (or have heard of) a single European medieval plate armour (or any war gear, really) made for women. But Cyrodiil is not on Planet Earth {'Praise the Nine'}. . I endorse this mod.
I just discovered this little gem and am downloading now.
As a woman myself, I tend to find most of the skimpy fetish clothing and armor rather silly in that it completely breaks immersion. I've tried all sorts of body mods, and the only two I've really found any reasonable options to avoid "abject skimpiness for females because shut up" in my game are Robert's Female and HGEC--and you reeeaaaallly have to dig to find them lol.
It's cool to see people out there who like a touch of realism in a high fantasy game. I just like that the huge discrepancy between male and female armors is addressed with this mod. Full coverage on the dudes and questionably functional at best coverage on the ladies is jarring and weird, and to me seems more than a bit objectifying, so thanks for this mod
I've been waiting years for a mod like this to come out. You can't imagine how sick I was of scrolling through the endless ludicrous anime/slutty/nude/sexy female character related mods. And I'm attracted to women! I just prefer realism in both women and gaming.

Ooops it's a big one, feel free to delete it ...
Very late edit: Found a smaller one. ^^
