Notes from Turtle about this port:

• At long last the waiting is over and it has come to LE.
  

• Thank you so much JDJ3 for letting me publicly port this you made my day.
  

• This has been full playthrough tested many times on a 2500+ load order since I have been waiting for upload permssion so I know it is stable.
  

• Make sure to re-build your Bashed Patch as this has a lot of Level List edits.
  

• And yes you can merge this with other mods it is safe to do. (I am not helping with issues if you do though)
  

• Fixed the Level List issue it had in LIemWESpellswordCuirass
  

• Fixed the first person issue with the Ebony Knight Gauntlets
  

• The patches did not get ported because of requirments (Am still working on getting them over)
  

Is it mergeable:
Safe to merge with other mods.

Note from Turtle please read:
Alright after fighting with this bas***d of a PC I have got my HDD to live for a bit longer and hopefuly will not die before I somehow get a repalcement.
It really does need to be replaced as it has started to heavily slow down, fail to read at times and crash.
I do not think I need to say what will happen if it dies but if it does I may be saying goodbye to modding.

If you want to help me replace my hard drive you can dontate to my Patreon which can be found here or let me know of some other way that works better.

About the SE patches:

• AI Overhaul - Not started yet
  

Never used the mod so I can not say

• aMidianBorn Content Addon - Not a high priority
  

Re-building your Bashed Patch should work just fine as a replacement

• CCOR patch - Has a merged version of two LE mods as a master so I need to find a way to make it work with the split LE versions
  

The mods work fine together so you will just not have CCOR style recipes

• Diversity and AI Overhaul Patch - Not stated yet
  

Never used the mods so I can not say

• Heritage Patch - Not stated yet
  

Never used the mod so I can not say

• MLU Patch - Not started yet
  

Re-building your Bashed Patch can work as a replacement

• OBIS Patch - Not started yet
  

Re-building your Bashed Patch should work as a replacement

• Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes Patch - SE has the two mods merged so I have to split the masters
  

Mod will work fine with the LE versions without a patch


Taken from the original SE discription

This mod is a compilation of most of NordWarUA's armor mods. I made this mod as not all of NordWarUA's mods get as much attention most likely due to things missing such as leveled list integration, compatibility patches, etc. There are also cases of incompatibilities between some of his mods, and to rectify that, (with permission from all authors involved), I wanted to make one ESP that ensures all of NordWarUA's mods get to play nicely together and to reduce load order size. The armors and weapons included in this mod are from the following plugins:

• A standalone version of Vanilla Armor Replacers (my own version which is different from the one deletepch made)
• A "cut down" version of deletepch's Race Armor Expansion
• Heavy Nordic Armor with leveled list distribution
• Nordic Fur Armor with leveled list distribution
• Chainmail Armor with leveled list distribution
• Standalone version of Realistic Armors
  

Do note that I have altered the names and stats of some items to increase the diversity of the equipment of this mods, and to reduce confusion between armor sets, so this is more than just a 1:1 "merge" (explained more in the Armors and Weapons section).
