Permissions and credits
Adds a plate armor armor set with four color variations and other customization options.

=========
Features:
=========
My most ambitious "generic" armor mod in the series. It adds a plate armor set with four different variations: steel, dwarven, orcish, and ebony.

There are two types of plate cuirasses available to each set as well as gauntlets, sabatons, and a gorget.

Full support for all races and sexes.

=============
Installation:
=============
Use NMM to install

or

Extract the esp and bsa into the data folder

If you are using the scripted version, a message in game should appear letting you know the mod is installed.

===============
Uninstallation:
===============
Use NMM to uninstall

or

Remove the bsa and esp file

==============
Compatibility:
==============
The gorget in this mod uses item slot 45. That piece of armor can't be worn with other items that use slot 45.

This mod comes in two versions. The first uses leveled lists and will require merge patches to ensure compatibility with other mods that add new armors. The second version adds the items to the leveled lists via scripting and is the most compatible with mods that add new armors. Pick one of the two versions depending on your preference and load order.

Besides that, this mod is pretty simple and should be pretty much compatible with everything.

Recommended Mods:
Immersive Armors by hothtrooper44
The helmets and other pieces of armor added by this mod complement this one pretty well. It also adds a few other plate armor sets based off of L0rdOfWar's Witcher 2's assets.

Witcher 2 Style Dawnguard and Standard Heavy Plate by Baraban
The armet, hounskull, and sallet helmets in that mod look PERFECT with the armor from this mod. That mod also adds its own plate armor set based off of L0rdOfWar's Witcher 2's assets (again). (As you can see I kinda got bored of the number of plate armor mods based off of the Witcher 2's armor, ergo this mod was born. :P )

Early-Middleages Helmets by VAultMaN30
Again, the helmets from this pack look nice with the armor.

Winter is Coming - Cloaks by nivea
Adding cloaks and hoods on top of the armor makes your character look nice. :P

Bandolier - Bags and Pouches by Dragten
Again, accessorize yourself!

Generic Chainmail Armor by JZBai (i.e. myself, i.e. INSERT SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION HERE :P)
The aventails and chainmail hoods go well with this armor.

Generic Lamellar Armor by JZBai (i.e. myself, i.e. INSERT MORE SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION HERE :P)
The gorget in this mod was made to fit well with the lamellar armor.

Generally speaking, any mod that adds new helmets or accessories works really nice with this one. :P
