About this mod

A collection of lore-friendly retextures for all armors and weapons in vanilla game.

Changelogs
So I just reinstalled Skyrim for the 999th time because of Odin. And it took me quite a long time to get together my armor retexture setup to my taste, and I decided to share on Nexus in case my PC went crazy some days and I want to reinstall everything again (which I will).

All the assets have open permission so I think it should be fine to share. In case the original authors have any concerns I can take down the involved parts or the mod. I also make some tweaks to fit my taste. Most textures are in 2K.

Disclaimer: I am not a texture/model artist or graphic designer and these are not made from scratch by me. I am just a common modder that make use of various great assets and tools provided by the community to create something for my personal use. This is a passionate project that I enjoy doing in my spare times, and share with the community and somewhat contribute to it after years of great joy using those excellent mods. All credits go to the authors of the original assets.


And since I don't have much times for games and modding nowadays, I probably won't take requests or change anything for this mod. But feel free to mix and match yourself using this collection as a base. Just check the original permission in case you want to publish.


Here are the mods used in this collection. Credits to the original authors.

aMidianBorn Book of Silence
 and other retextures by CaBaL- EmeraldReign-the AMB team. Ported to SSE by kryptopyr.

Only included the armors and weapons retextures. If you want other stuff like the creatures retexture, go check out the BOS page.

VARIATIONS by sforzinda
Inlcuded some of the retextures. Amazing quality and great aesthetic. You can also use the original mod with this collection. Also check out the author's other works. I use IMITATIONS and FASHIONS of the FOURTH ERA in my game.

Project Clarity by IconicDeath
High quality upscaled retextures. It covers many missing parts in this collection. I use Project Clarity AIO as the main retexture mod for my latest playthrough since I want to focus on gameplay and don't want to spend too much time on graphical setup.

Ebony Weapons 2017 Retexture by OperatorCactus

Cathedral - Armory by JonnyWang13
Used the nordic weapon retexture. Not in 1.2. You can actually use cathedral armory instead of my collection. It's just personal preference.
