UPDATE PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING OR I WILL CRY:
The Sentinel 2.0 Update changes the mod's requirements. This mod no longer makes use of Spell Perk Item Distributor, and instead makes use of Skypatcher. Do not update on an existing save game.
The benefit of this change is to allow users to pick and choose what armors they want in their game without the need for endless patching. If you only wanted one or two of the armors you see, that option is supported. If you want the whole suite, you can do that too. For that reason, I've also retired the legacy patch page in favor of a patch collection on this page.
Sentinel 2.0 features significantly more equipment than was available in the original mod. See the screenshots above to see what armors are available, then pick and choose which armors you want using the installer.
If you want to make a patch for Sentinel, you have my permission to upload it. I do not have interest in making bodyslide patches, as this project has already taken significantly longer than anticipated to update and maintain.
You have to download the CBBE / 3BA bodyslide files from the relevant mod-specific pages (as well as for vanilla models, since many of this mods armors still use the default mesh paths). Most of them do have CBBE and HIMBO options. The few that are missing are:
CBBE/3BA - Bosmer Armor Pack, Nordic Fur Armor, Heavy Nordic Armor, Eastern Dwemer Armor SE, Imperial Battlemage Robes for Imperial Battlemages and [in the addon collection] Infantry Armor SE.
HIMBO - Race Armor Expansion, Eastern Dwemer Armor SE, Imperial Battlemage Robes for Imperial Battlemages.
You can find the others by going to the mod page in question and checking the Requirements section for mods that are dependent. If they have a bodyslide, it will be there. You can use the fomod installer to see specifically which mods are included in this one. From what I saw, the ones that have non-vanilla armor meshes are: Realistic Armor, Vanilla Armor Replacer SSE, Unplayable Factions Armor, Nordic Fur Armor, Scale Nord Armor, Heavy Nordic Armor, Race Armor Expansion, Minor Factions Armor SSE, Guards Armor Replacer, Sons of Skyrim, Bosmer Armor Pack, Eastern Dwemer Armor SE, Kynreeve Armor SSE, Rogue Nord Armor, Lunar Guard Armor, and Imperial Battlemage Robes for Imperial Battlemages.
As well as all of the optional addon mods - Apex, Moon Monk's Robes, JS Centurion, Dwemer Armor SE, Fluted Armor, Infantry Armor, Dremora Markynaz, and Silver Armor SE.
Doesn't need one, it works fine with my Requiem. Load it AFTER Requiem but before Requiem for the Indifferent. The armor will get the normal Requiem buff and be distributed on NPCs. I had to do some tweaks but it works well out of the box.
I'm having a lot of erroneous distributions. Bandits wearing paladin or hold armor, duplicate chest pieces or missing parts. What should I do to fix this? I don't think I have mods that change factions keywords or something. Could open world loot be responsible?
In case anybody else runs into the same problem, here is the solution that worked for me.
I installed Imperial Guard Centurion Armor SE and the related patched from the Sentinel Patch Collection. This led to a nearly naked General Tullius. He did have his cloak and boots, but nothing else lol.
I was using the ESL tagged ESP version of Imperial Guard Centurion Armor SE, and when I switched to the regular ESP version, everything worked as expected.
I'm not claiming that this issue was anything but my own user error, and I honestly have no idea if it was just a me thing. I just know that the first trouble shooting step I tried fixed the problem I had, and I thought I would share in case it helped somebody else.
EDIT: As most of you probably already know, switching between normal ESP and an ESL tagged ESP versions of a mod requires a new game. Don't try my solution mid save and expect things to go well.

4thUnknown cooks but man his file organization is annoying dealing with all that nonsense lol
