Generic Chainmail Armor
by: JZBai
Version: 1.1
=======================
============
Description:
============
Adds chainmail armor, coifs and aventails with four different color variations each.
=========
Features:
=========
There have been many mods that add chainmail armors to Skyrim. This is simply my own take on the idea and
is sort of an experiment in 3D modeling and creating custom textures.
This mod adds chainmail hauberk and coif armors in four different variations: steel, dwarven, orcish, and ebony.
Also, this mod adds chainmail aventails in the same four varieties that can be worn with helmets. I tried
to size the aventails to look good with most open-faced helmets.
All armors in this mod have full support for all races and sexes! :D
=============
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:
==============
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.
