About this mod
This is a plugin that contains most of NordWarUA's armor and weapon mods in one esp file. The mod is designed to showcase his work throughout the world through consistent leveled lists that play well with his other mods. There are no "new" armor and weapons in this mod but names and stats have been changed for balance and immersion.

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).
Requirements
- Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch - Hard requirement (mod is a master). Are there even people that play without this mod? Uses keywords from this mod and forwards bug fixes to edited NPCs.

Installation (and Uninstallation)
If you are using a Mod Manager, just click download and let the mod manager do the work. If installing manually, drag the contents of this mod to your Data directory. This mod should be safe to install mid playthrough, although you may encounter naked NPCs (as this mod edits outfits). To fix that, simply select said NPC with the console and type "resetinventory" and it should give them the appropriate attire.
This mod does not have any attached scripts so it *should be* safe to uninstall mid playthrough (though I highly discourage uninstalling mods mid playthrough). Just remove all the assets from this mod and delete the esp. If you encounter naked NPCs again, apply the fix mentioned above.
Compatibility
This mods edits leveled lists, outfit records, and NPC records. I have added bash tags to the mod so a bashed patch from Wrye Bash will incorporate the changes from this mod just fine. This mod is 100% compatible with the other NordWarUA armor mods not included in this mod (shown in Recommended Mods). I have also deliberately not touched the filetree for compatibility with retextures of the armor and weapons. This mod is not compatible with the mods mentioned above as they edit the same leveled lists and are thus redundant to download. I have also included (and will continue to produce) compatibility patches for some of the more popular mods that may clash with the edits of this mod (further discussed in Compatibility Patches).
Recommended Mods
- NordWarUA Improved Upscaled Textures - The main reason I purposely didn't touch the filetree. While NordWarUA's weapons and armors are of a relatively high quality, this mod boosts that even more by improving the textures.
- aMidianBorn Book of Silence - NordWarUA designed most of his armor mods to have a quality equal to the rextextures this mod has. Recently ported to SSE, this mod is now easier to access than ever.
- aMidianBorn Upscaled Textures - Even higher quality aMidianBorn textures
- Heavy Legion/Authentic Legion/New Legion (Choose one) - NordWarUA mod not included in this pack that replaces Legion armor
- Guards Armor Replacer - NordWarUA mod not included in this pack that replaces guard and Stormcloak armor
- Unplayable Faction Armors - NordWarUA mod not included in this pack that adds armor to certain unjoinable factions in the game
Compatibility Patches Included (In order created)
- Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered - Makes crafting recipes follow CCOR's rules.
- Organized Bandits in Skyrim - Fixes leveled lists
- aMidianBorn Content Addon - Fixes leveled lists. Thalmor will use the armors from both mods
- Heritage - "Exiled Circle Members" (An elite bandit variant from this mod) will use the Elite Companion set and Skyforge Steel Bow.
- Morrowloot Ultimate - Adjusts stats of Ebony gear. I also followed MLU's rules and removed the Dwarven and Ebony gear from standard leveled lists.
- AI Overhaul - Forwards packages from this mod to edited NPCs
- Diversity (Vanilla Hairs) - Forwards outfit records from my mod to this mods face and body edits
- AI Overhaul + Diversity - Use if you are using both of the mods. Ensures compatibility between all 3 mods (I even took the time to forward AI Overhaul's packages on Diversity NPCs that aren't touched by this mod)
- Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes - Adds WAF and SPIKE keywords to armors and weapons
- Improved MLU patch - I still have to "hand place" the Ebony and Dwarven equipment of this mod
- Armor Variants Expansion - Though they should be compatible through a bashed patch already, I want to make something more "refined"
