About this mod

Do you like the college-style mage robes but feel self-conscious about wearing blue in front of your Legion pals? This mod adds two mage robes in proud Imperial red and gold.

Permissions and credits
Despite that the Author GustavL is hardly active anymore on the Nexus, he did give me a generous permission to convert his mod to SE.
This mod has been cleaned with Tesseditcleaner 4.0.x

All credits, endorsements, love and support, Belong to GustavL not me


NOTE: this conversion was done by request of a fan, I have not tested this ingame, as this mod uses the vanilla body. However I do like the idea and once I get skilled enough, I want to convert this to CBBE with bodyslide.. possibly with 3bbb support as GustavL has given me permission to do this as well.

INTRODUCTION

I first uploaded it on the Steam Workshop, where people have been enjoying it thus far, but I figured since this site seems to be where the big fish of Elder Scrolls modding swim, it would be an even more nurturing environment for a fledgling modder who wants to learn the ropes.

This is my first mod for an Elder Scrolls game, but it is actually not too shabby. Nevertheless I am eager to learn what you beautiful people think I could have done better, and how. I welcome all kinds of feedback, suggestions and requests and will try to respond to all comments. Let me know if everything works for you. And also if it doesn't.

FEATURES

This mod adds six garments to the game:

  • The Imperial Recruit Robes and Imperial Recruit Hood, which are based on the Novice Robes and Novice Hood and have the same stats as those, with an added 20% health regen bonus to help you hold the line.
  • The Imperial Specialist Robes, which are based on the Expert Robes and come in five varieties, one for each school of magic. Similarly to the Recruit Robes their stats are the same as 'Expert Robes of [Magic School]' but with a 20% bonus to health regen. They also come in an unenchanted version called 'Legion Robes'.
  • The Imperial Foxskin Boots and the Imperial Foxskin Bracers, which are simply cloth versions of Imperial Light Boots and Imperial Light Bracers for players who use the Mage Armor perk.
  • The Imperial Battlemage Hood, which is based on the unequippable 'Torturer's Hood' from the main game. Unlike the Recruit Hood, the Battlemage hood can be worn with most armor without immersion-breaking clipping issues (for reference, it uses the same mesh as the Thieves' Guild Hood.) It fortifies magicka regeneration by 40 percent.

For details on the stats of the robes, see screenshots.

They can be bought from Beirand, the Solitude Blacksmith and Imperial Outfitter. Note however that the SPECIALIST ROBES AND BATTLEMAGE HOOD ARE ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER YOUR CHARACTER REACHES LEVEL 24, much like the Expert Robes in the vanilla game. Everything except the Specialist Robes can also be purchased from the Quartermasters in the Imperial camps around Skyrim.

The robes are retextured versions of the Novice and Expert Robes. The textures were made by combining elements from those robes with elements from the Imperial Light Armor, with handpainted details. They use custom normal maps, with shiny leather parts and dull fabric. The mod includes no meshes, so it should work with any body- and/or armor replacer.

I welcome all kinds of feedback and suggestions and will try to respond to all comments. Let me know if everything works for you. And also if it doesn't.

I can't seem to add tags to this mod, forums suggest it will pass in a while. In the meantime, I'd appreciate your help with tagging it.

TREASURE HUNT!

Since version 1.1 of the mod, there is a unique version of the Recruit Robes, with a new unique texture and better stats than the regular Recruit Robes. It's a mostly atmospheric piece for players who like immersion; power players might be disappointed. I hid it in a lore-appropriate place. Here's the clue:

- It is in the bedchamber of a mage who was in the Legion during the Great War with the Aldmeri Dominion.

It is in a chest. Happy hunting.

If this works out I'll do more of these.

THANKS

  • Heron on the Steam Workshop, for pointing out an error with the foxskin gear (that I promtly fixed in 1.1)
  • Lumenbeing on the Skyrim Nexus, for inspiring the secret bonus version of the recruit robes.
  • antisupastar on the Nexus for organizing the Russian version, and Aspard on modgames.net for the translation.
  • Valkyr47 on the Nexus for translating the mod into French.


Compability issues:
Because this mod uses, the vanilla body from within skyrim itself, there are no meshes present. This also mean if you want to use this mod, and you have an armor/clothing rerplaces in your game that have it's own meshes, the mod will try to use those meshes, but will result in a game CTD. I have no solution for this, as I have been unable to find a way to create it's own meshes. I did ask the Author to recreate the mod, but this time with meshes, however it may be unlikely that this will ever happen, since the author GustavL is not active on the Nexus anymore.


Installation: 
Mod Organizer 2 (highly recommended)
Manual: you should know by now how that works, tho It is not recommended, since mods tend to overwrite each other and may ruin your game!! Do not expect any assistance in that matter from me.
