Disclaimer:
- This mod is not perfect in anyway or form but this is one step
closer to the real thing! This is as realistic as I could manage to get with the
current tools (Nifskope) and some small tweaks. Beware of errors!
- The outfit is from the Space Wanderer (with my own added tweaks)
- The new RS1TI and the Kylo Ren Lightsaber models plus textures was made by myself, using Fusion 360, Blender, Substance Painter and alot of plugins - enjoy!






Special thanks to:
