Choose what to install
Choose which textures to install and if you want to install textures-only or my Cubemap addon versions. Cubemaps are used to create metallic-looking reflections. Most metallic armors in Skyrim use them, but iron does not. The cubemap addons will overwrite all your meshes. The fomod will provide meshes for popular bodyslides and mods. Please see "patch tutorial" further down this mod page, to learn how to create your own patches for these cubemap addons. It is quite simple and quick to do.
Iron Armor
Textures only

Cubemap Addon

The cubemap addon is highly recommended. It will make the iron armor look shinier and more metallic. It is a lot more noticeable in movement
IRON WEAPONS
Textures only

Cubemap addon

Vanilla iron weapons already use a cubemap (shinydull_e) but I used quickskydark_e, for the iron armor. This option will apply this same change to the weapons
CC Iron Plate
Textures only

Cubemap addon

TARGE OF THE BLOODED

HEADMAN'S AXE

CC RARE CURIOS


IRON ARMOR - TEXTURE OPTIONS
Choose which iron armor textures you want to use. The engraved and refined version were made for Amidianborn content addon / Amidianborn variants Lite, but if you do not use these mods, you can choose to have these textures applied to the regular iron armor set.

IRON ARMOR SLEEVES ADDON
Optional addon to add sleeves to the iron armor. Patch available for Amidianborn content addon and amidianborn variants lite. The sleeves version only support vanilla bodies, as I do not use or know how to create bodyslide-compatible versions. Permissions are opened for anyone to create said patches.

If you install any of the bodyslide patches, it is very important that you re-generate your bodyslide outputs.

Consistency patches are optional retextures of modded armors, clothes and/or weapons I like. The goal of these is to make these items match my retextures. I do not ever claim that my versions are objectively better, all authors who's work I cover are extremely talented people! The original mods are always a hard requirement.




All these sets should work with any mod using these assets. Tested with realistic armors, Sentinel and NordWarUA's Vanilla Armor and Weapon Expansion. All of these will overwrite the meshes. Bodyslide patches are provided for realistic armors' HIMBO, 3BA, CBBE and BHUNP versions.
