DO NOT USE THIS MOD. IT MESSES WITH THE VALUE OF EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF ARMOR.
Okay... So, now that I got that out of the way, let me explain what the problem with this mod is.
First of all, the issue most people seem to have with this mod is that they're getting model load errors. This isn't the problem that the mod has - This is user error, not a mod error.
This is an easy fix. You just need to register the Archives. You can do this by editing the .ini file. My .ini file looks like this: Archive 0=Tribunal.bsa Archive 1=Bloodmoon.bsa Archive 2=PT_Data.bsa Archive 3=TR_Data.bsa Archive 4=MW_Children_1_0.bsa Archive 5=RR_Melchior's_Mudcrab_Merchant.bsa
To register it, I just add the following line to the archives:
Archive 6=TES3ArmorOverhaul.bsa
Boom. Done. No more "Model Load Error" issue.
The issue with this mod, however, is the fact that the mod adjust the prices of equipment for no reason, hopefully by accident, but likely on purpose, for whatever reason.
In vanilla Morrowind, a Chitin Tower Shield has a value of 32 gold.
With this mod, it has a value of over 10,500 gold, and a quick look under the mod's hood shows that every single equipment item in the game had their price adjusted.
So, I'll repeat:
DO NOT USE THIS MOD. IT MESSES WITH THE VALUE OF EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF ARMOR.
I need to start reading comments before I install mods. Your post is useful in multiple ways as I was having the model load error, AND I hadn't noticed that a chitin shield was over 10k... I think Morrowind's wonky armor system is better than this particular "fix".
Is there a way to use the mod without the boobplate? Or is there a mod I can load after this to remove that, so long as it doesn't remove the stats of this mod?
Please, explain how you did this? I want to get rid of the 'female' armor as well. Including the female variants of reglar armor, netch leather, imperial steel etc
After a WHOLE LOT of trial and error of getting a message telling me that my game couldn't load a mesh because it wasn't in the mesh folder, figuring out it was this mod and then reading some of the comments, I think I've figured out the problem. For whatever reason, the .bsa file that comes with this is not being processed properly by the game and thus, displaying exclamation points and error messages for missing textures/meshes.
After I thought about this, I decided to get a .bsa unpacker and unpack the entire .bsa file, take the .esp from this and make my own Nexus Mod Manager mod (you could also just drop the meshes, textures & icons folders, along with the .esp into your Data folder manually) and try that out. So far, everything seems to be working like it should. I would suggest anyone else who's having problems with this mod to try this solution.
If you need a BSA extractor, there's one on this site:
i dont know if these are still being looked at. but im having it produce an error message upon load up. something about not being able to find dreugh mesh. \jer_D_dreugh_cuirass2.nif
Had an issue where fur armor on characters would show up as a giant hexagon with an exclamation in the center. Installed the old version and it worked without an issue. Error looked similar to yours.
This is probably a long shot, but it's so specific that I have no idea how to fix it without some input from the mod creator; the problem is that the crotch area of ebony armor leggings when equipped on female characters is solid white with no texture or mesh at all. Not sure what caused it or how to fix it, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the mod and it didn't work. And if the problem isn't with this mod, if you have any idea what could be wrong I'd appreciate the help; I assumed it was this mod because this is the only thing I have that changes armor textures.
For some reason, my game always crashes when I try to equipt the Dark Brotherhood Armor from this mod. After looking at my mod list, it can actually only conflict with Better Bodies or Galsiahs's Character Development. Other mods either add more content or fix bugs. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Throws up the "Model Load Error: Meshes\a\Jer_D_Orcish_Cuirass2.NIF" Error.
