Overview
This is a patch that forwards the texture paths and mesh settings from aMidianBorn Content Addon's Blacksmith's Tribute to 3BA and HIMBO's Iron armor BodySlides, and edits their Nordic Carved projects by removing their pauldrons to match AMB's other variant. Although AMB mostly works out of the box with body replacers given that many of the variants are pure texture swaps of vanilla armors, these two armors are exceptions with Blacksmith's Tribute also using different mesh settings from the normal Iron armors.
The standard HIMBO refits are based on HIMBO's native refits, while 3BA's refits are based on CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone. I've reused my sleeved Iron refits from XAC for the sleeved HIMBO Blacksmith's Tribute projects, while the sleeved 3BA Blacksmith's Tribute projects uses the refitted sleeve meshes from Xavbio meshes - HDT-SMP 3BA patch. These 3BA sleeves have been touched up to better fit the no-HDT projects, and to (hopefully) reduce clipping into the Banded Iron armor's pauldron.
I've also adapted the changes from AMB's HDT-SMP Vanilla Armors patch to work with HDT-SMP's Player-exclusive variant. Please note that this doesn't touch the Blacksmith's Tribute set as that's meant to be player-exclusive loot. Additionally, the plugin includes a slight adjustment to work with the shifted mesh ordering on the HIMBO HDT-SMP refits, so it will break Imperial Outcast texture swapping on that mod's vanilla body meshes out of the box!
There are currently no plans to make any refit variants with Fur Shaders Armors (Redux) shells for Blacksmith's Tribute as I don't have (nor the expertise to create) matching black fur shell textures for that set without making the fur shells blatantly mismatch with the set; however, a base FSA refit for the HIMBO pauldron-less Nordic Carved armor recycled from my normal FSA Nordic Carved refits is available.
Installation
Use the FOMOD to install BodySlides for your LO's bodies and build through BodySlide with the style of choice. All BodySlides are filed under the "CBBE 3BA/HIMBO AMB" category. Options for sleeved 3BA/HIMBO Blacksmith's Tribute BodySlides are available inside the FOMOD.
HDT-SMP Vanilla Armors support requires the original mod's XML files for the HDT rigging to function.
Rebuilding pauldron-less 3BA Nordic Carved (no HDT)
You might notice that installing the standard 3BA refits places pre-built meshes for the Nordic Carved armor using the Zeroed Sliders preset. This is because CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone's Nordic Carved BodySlide already comes with a zap slider that removes the pualdrons from the armor, thus (mostly) achieving the intended look of AMB's pauldron-less variant.
I don't feel comfortable copying that project as-is for this mod besides changing the output path and filename. If you are also using CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone in your load order, here are the steps to replace these meshes for your preset:
This process should work similarly with (HDT-SMP) Fur Shaders Redux's own 3BA Nordic Carved project as FSXRR's refits use CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone as a base, including its zaps.

Spoiler:
Show
- Go to the CBBE 3BA Dragonborn - Body - Nordic Carved project in BodySlide.
- Make sure the Remove Pauldrons zap is checked. I've left Original Version checked so it would match with the Player-exclusive HDT-SMP output; if you don't mind the whiplash with it looking different on NPCs in that case (or if you don't use HDT-SMP Vanilla Armors at all), you can uncheck that option. You can also check Remove 2D Fur Top if you want.
- Build the project anywhere. Make sure you can actually go to its output folder.
- Go to where you built the Nordic Carved armor. Make copies of the _0 and _1 meshes (plus the tri file if you built morphs), then rename the copies to nordiccarvedcuirasssleevelessf_0.nif (or nordiccarvedcuirasssleevelessf_1.nif / nordiccarvedcuirasssleevelessf.tri). Move these files to the meshes/dlc02/armor/nordiccarved folder if they weren't there already. You're done.
- If you ended up overwriting your normal Nordic Carved meshes during this process and they had different Zaps active, rebuild them as normal.
This process should work similarly with (HDT-SMP) Fur Shaders Redux's own 3BA Nordic Carved project as FSXRR's refits use CBBE 3BA Vanilla Outfits Redone as a base, including its zaps.
