Sleek Elven Armor Replacer for UNP, UNPB & CBBE - WIPv4: A Form-Fitting Elven Armor Replacer by ReflexShooter

These armor mash-up replace the original female Elven armors with versions that are more form-fitting, using a
chainmail bodysuit as a base, rather than bare skin. It still LOOKS skimpy, but everything is covered.

I've been working on this armor, on and off, for quite awhile, but I think it's finally in good enough shape to release.
I still may change things up a bit, so it's still, technically, a work-in-progress.

There are three unique textures for the armors; one for the ChainMeshBodysuit, one for the collar, and one for the thong/panties.
These textures are in a seperate "SleekElven" folder, rather than the "Elven" folder, in the "Skyrim\Data\Textures\Armor" directory.
The new armor meshes will, however, over-write ALL the meshes for female armor in the "Skyrim\Data\Meshes\Armor\Elven\F" directory.
I've replaced ALL the meshes because I've tweaked many of their "lighting shader properties." So, if you'd like to hang onto your
original Elven armor, you should make a back-up of those meshes and stash them in a safe place.

Although the bulk of the new meshes use whatever Elven armor textures you have installed, they are, currently geared toward gold
toned armors. I will release other Collar and Mail Bodysuit colors in the future to match some of the more popular replacers, like
the "aMidianBorn Darker" textures.

I'm still not doing any BBP versions of my armor...Guess I'm just stuck on the notion that rigid breast-plates, no matter how skimpy
they may be, shouldn't really have much of a bounce to them ;-)
But, hey, if somebody out there wants to make a BBP version, go right ahead. You don't even have to ask for permission.

I may try my hand at a CNHF version, but only if I can make it work without violating the established armor aesthetics.

And, yes, "Stand-Alone" versions are also in the works!
