About this mod

Uses various armor assets to replace Requiem's added armors (and more), without the need for the CC content.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
As of Requiem 5.3.0, Creation Club jank content has been partially incorporated into base Requiem. I thought the Requiem CC addon made good use of the new armors. However the Creation Club addon requires all of the additional bumfluff content as hard masters.

Originally I made this mod to utilise those CC armor assets without needing the actual plugins as hard masters. Then I actually had a look at the armors and realised that they mostly look like a bagful of horkers anuses so decided to redirect to better armor assets on the Nexus. While I was at it, I also chose a few models for a handful of other unique vanilla/Requiem armor bits that don't have any unique models assigned.

Check out THIS Google sheet for a list of what's what.

INSTALLATION

Some assembly required. You need to download and install the following, so the mesh and textures filepaths are correct:

Spoiler:  
Show

Armor Variants Expansion
Immersive Armors 
Immersive Armors Retexture and Mesh Fixes SE (required for a huge quality improvement and for...)
Immersive Armors - Asdasfa Tweaks & Fixes (meshes & textures from this mod are REQUIRED as they fix many issues and missing models from IA)
Warmonger Armory
Sforzinda's Imitations (Off-Nexus, link is a direct link to the Google Drive download)
Aetherium Armor
Orc Marauder Armor

In the case of mods with BSAs (Immersive Armors, Imitations) you will need to extract the meshes and textures from the BSAs. All other files, plugins included, can be deleted or hidden. Use your MO's built in extractor or one of those found on the Nexus. Or you can have you MO manage and load the BSA itself (maybe). If you already use one of the above mods you don't need to do any of that.

This does NOT require any of the CC content beyond what base Requiem 5.3+ requires, as the armor records referenced are in the base Requiem plugin. You can use this with the Requiem - Creation Content Addon, just load this after for it to take effect.


WHY U DO ME LIKE DIS? MY INTERNETS DUN' GON' SLOW/AINT DOWNLOADING 8 MODS

I don't have permission to repackage the assets used in this mod, hence you need to download them yourself. I wanted to pick armors that felt like the right fit for the armor or purpose in question. It's difficult to find a single mod or two to cover everything, and I've tried to use mods that repurpose vanilla assets as much as possible.

NOTES

- Ulfric's armor is no longer Light Stalhrim, but Heavy Steel Plate (Stormlord). Stats are slightly above Orcish armor values.

- Netch Leather Tower Shield is now a heavy variant and adjusted accordingly.

- Please let me know if there are any issues with certain female or beast versions. I've assigned the models, but I don't play those characters and haven't had time to test them. 

- Some armors may have minor clipping. Will look to update with more suitable options in the future where applicable.

ALSO RECOMMENDED

Saints & Seducers Begone
So you can have base Requiem installed and get rid of the Saints & Seducers tomfoolery, which Requiem does not edit or adjust. There is a Requiem patch but it also re-enables all the Rare Curios stuff, if you want that.

Survival Mode Prompt Removed
 (Disable Permanently)
No need to deal with Survival Mode at all (if you don't want to).

Rare Curios is already disabled by Requiem. Fishing is ... fishysticks ... and rings.

My own Requiem - CC Crossbow Replacer
... to have Requiem's butt-ugly crossbows replaced by the CC Crossbow assets.
