It really is unfortunate that the normal maps on both the male and female robes seems to be screwed up causing the gloss effect everyone is talking about.
It is a shame too because the design does look quite nice except for that. I suppose the best solution at this point is to probably just take the normals from the mage robe and copy and rename them to the path above, you end up with the pouches that the textures from this file removed in pitch black but it blends in a little with the outfit and it's better than the gloss.
lol right!? I got ingame after installing it. Was super excited until I saw it. I looked like something out of a BDSM video I was so shiny. If he could make it look like actual cloth it'd easily be the best shrouded re-texture out there. Never uninstalled a mod so fast in my life.
I personally enjoyed the colors and style of the robe aside from the shineyness but i also end up with a pink mage skeleton mask. prolly due to one of the other 90 mods active. oh well.
I downloaded the other mods first then I downloaded this one (as it says to do on the description page). However, the hood from both the armor and the robes cause a black blotch over my characters face where a mask would cover my nose and mouth. But the black blotch hovers over my face leaving a gap between it and my face so if I move my camera but keep my character still I can see my face. Maybe it is not compatible with coverwoman or cbbe. I don't know.
See Clivens fix on the posts on the original mod page. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3471/? Something to do with nifscope and having to use it. Bit of a shame really as this looks like a nice looking replacer but have to pass because I don't know, have the time to learn how to use nifscope.
I wish the author could implement the fix and update his mod but he hasn't touched his mod since late 2013.
