UPDATE 1.4-beta - CBBE and UNP available - Normals Fixed - the normals now should render correctly in various lighting. - Textures compressed to BC3 and BC1
A very nice armor. Especially the neck part is a novelty. I was looking for something like that for a long time. The part also fits without problems to the necks of CBBE bodies.
Since I equip dozens if not even the hundreds NPCs and companions with it I wanted to reduce the textures (mass instead of class) in order not to overwhelm my old graphics card.
I was surprised how big the texture folder is. 230 MB. The basic surface texture alone is just one color, but the images are 4k in size. I was able to save 78MB alone by replacing the textures with 64 pixel images. 20MB per image to 1KB. These 78 MB are without loss of quality, since all optical structures in your mod come through the * _n and * _m images.
Overall, the mod is now 12 MB with me and still looks great. At least for my claims. I dye all deep black so that the parts of many different mods fit together. (And black just looks sexy).
Sorry for the delay. Yup the size can be much reduced using some newer compressed formats. But unfortunately I've got an old dds plugin in use. Got to update it soon. Cheers!
I discovered your stuff while searching for outfits for a dark fantasy/vampire playthrough, and I was blown away by the sheer amount of detail you've put into this and the other outfits you've released. This one in particular is a work of art, and so perfectly suited to my vampire matriarch that I just had to check out your pateron to see what other incredible outfits you've made.
Hey I'm happy that you like the mod. It's a pretty old one. I guess I would do some better texture and furs now Maybe I will revisit this one some day. Thank you for your kind words
Glad you like it. esigning the fur element was like "she needs sth there since it's cold in Skyrim" went to textures.com, found a nice fur, did some geometry, did a transparency channel, did some displacement, rigging and voila! I'm not 100% happy with the look though, maybe a fur shader instead of standard envmap shader would look better And the second fur is from Black viper's Will
I've seen comments about adding a CBBE version but that was back in like 2018. 2020 im here wanting to start another play through. Finding a perfect outfit for a new character and here it is, but no CBBE version in 2 years :(
Your image #22 sold it for me. No issues with CBBE (that's what I have). Just added the full set with AddItemMenu and gave them to Minerva. Minerva says thanks, but suggested that maybe I should try them on one of my vampire followers. I'll go and see Diana the pure-blood vampire. Many thanks for your great work.

I hope it runs.

When you've got the esp file installed you have all these things added to the base. If the installation is wrong you've got none of these
Thank you for the mod :)
Many thanks for your great work.
