Sure, in the vanilla game there's no way to get Tsun's armor off of him...but it still seemed like an oversight that there was no female set, right?

Fortunately, FallenJudge created a female set to fix this issue back in the LE days and Madcat221 has recently released a stunningly perfected version of the armor to SE. The original was built for CBBE and the improved set was for 3BA, however, which left those of us using the boring old vanilla body a bit out of luck...until Madcat221 graciously granted me permission to tweak and release this vanilla body-based patch!

You do need to download the original file by Madcat221 in order to use this patch, as you will need their esp as well as the few non-vanilla textures, but you DO NOT NEED to have any of the requirements of the original mod installed in order to use this vanilla version!

Both the original esp and this patch are esl-flagged so you will not lose any plugin slots to this armor.

As stated on Madcat221's original mod page, in order to craft the armor for yourself in game you much have the Advanced Armors Smithing Perk as well as access to the Sky Forge. The required components consist of steel and iron ingots, leather, leather strips, and a cave bear pelt. It has both light and heavy armor options.

I did not change any of the crafting or creation details in this patch, although I did attach a matching female set to the existing Tsun Armor in the game (so if you have any mods that allow you to take Tsun's armor, that should now show-up properly on female-bodied characters instead of mysteriously transforming into Thieves Guild Armor). I also added the rudimentary ground/inventory models I made to both the mod-set and vanilla-set of Tsun armor and boots. Additionally, while we were working on it Madcat221 and I noticed that the male armor never had proper weight support in the vanilla game, so I adjusted the meshes to provide that as well (for both the modded and the original armor).

*The original mod is listed as ADULT because there is a topless option. This patch does not include a topless option. If you install this, you will have no nudity in your game.

This is my first attempt at taking an outfit built for the XP32 Skeleton and putting it on a vanilla body (and vanilla skeleton) instead, so while it seems to be working all right in my game please do let me know if you run into any problems.

UPDATE: Madcat221 has now put these male meshes into their files, so you only need to download this if you want the vanilla female body (or you want to also fix the original Tsun armor. In which case, you can download whatever main file you want off Madcat221's page and the "Vanilla Tsun Basic" file from the optional files section here and install them both together).

Permissions
Permission for the use of these assets default to Madcat221 and FallenJudge as the original creators of this armor. Anything that they allow you to do with theirs, you may likewise assume you are allowed to do with mine.

All I ask is that you include clear and explicit credits to indicate that you are using my meshes if you do so; I do not wish to have another situation where people think that I've "stolen" someone else's work because they didn't realize it was them using mine rather than the other way around. Thank you!
