Armor Graphics

updated April 17th, 2019

This section is dedicated to making your armors look better and feel more in place in your high end graphical world. Why split up the graphic pages like this you ask? Well, the graphics page was getting very crowded and something needed to be done.

In this section, we will discuss:

-Armor Overhauls

-Heavy Armor

-Light Armor

-Clothes and Robes

Texture Overhauls

These mods are MASSIVE texture packs that hold many refurbished, redone, and even reimagined textures. Here we have listed the best overhauls to start off with. You can customize and switch between textures to find the best looking one's that fit your taste. Don't forget that these are just general texture packs. If you want the BEST results don't use the official 2k textures by Bethesda.

aMidianBorn - Book of Silence

aMidianBorn - Book of Silence

Texture overhaul mod, best known for it's weapon and armor textures. Also covers creatures, unique items and dragonborn dlc.

Skyrealism Shiny

Skyrealism Shiny

This is both a fix and a texture pack. The fix is to the vanilla weapon and armor meshes, enabling environment mapping and correcting bogus environment mapping values. The texture pack component is designed to take maximum advantage of environment mapping to produce realistic looking metal weapons and armor. There's an expansion for Unique Uniques and Lore Weapon Expansion. Got to the weapons page for it.

And here are some notable texture authors that either make random textures with no rhyme or reason and are not all in one pack or download link. It's recommended you download all of their works but it's not necessary.

Gamwich Known for the RUSTIC series. Has a lot of textures ranging from random objects to clothes and robes.	FrankFamily Guy does wonders with his stuff. You'll see a lot of his mods listed below but he also does custom stuff.

These are non-specific collections of mods that you can use to customize your game. You can interchange these textures to make the game the way you want it to. Now for even better looking textures, you gonna have to get some specific overhauls that work on one or two aspects of the game itself.

Bonemold Expanded Retexture Decent retexture for Bonemold Expanded.	Outlandish Stalhrim This mod retextures the Stalhrim armour and weapons from the Dragonborn DLC. The aim of this mod was to make the Stalhrim more pleasant to look at, and for it to be more reminisce of actual ice. To do this, I have darkened the leather for contrast, then greyed out the blue and added a reflective cubemap for proper iciness.	Dragonbone HD and 4k 4k textures for the dragonbone armor set.
Ashland Apparel This mod retextures all of the dunmer clothes and armor to be more dusty from because of the ashy landscape of Solstheim after the Red Year.

Clothes and Robes

Mage Outfit Texture Overhaul Finished mage robe textures from Rafuel's old texture project that he never finished.	Skaal Clothes HD Revival Skaal clothes HD revival is a high quality retexture for skaal clothes from the Dragonborn dlc.	Rafuel Robes Rafuel is a texture maker who has retexture many of the robes in Skyrim and in the Dragonborn DLC. We highly recommend you use all of his robe retextures. Not only are they a higher resolution, Rafuel has put in extra detail into the robes and even made extra varients for them!

There is also subtle etchings in the masks that make each unique.
Aetherial Crown Are you disappointed by the cheap and unoriginal-looking design Bethesda gave the Aetherial Crown? Then this mod is for you! It replaces the offending headgear with a brand new, lore-friendly design that is more in keeping with an ancient dwarven relic

Jewelry

Divine Amulets and Daedric Rings Pretty textures for your Divine Amulets. And your Daedric rings. You fiend.	Gemling Queen Jewelry Ever get tired of the yucky opaque gemstone textures Bethesda chose to inflict on the stylish Dragonborn? Then this mod is for you! It replaces all jewelry gemstones with prettier, more realistic artwork. No more plastic wrap mostrosities on your forehead!	Jewels of the Nord Retextured rings and amulets for that brilliant and rich designs jewelry should have.
Better Circlet What does this mod make better? Circlets!	Amulet of Talos Replacer Replaces vanilla Amulet of Talos with a new model with a longer and sharper point at the end.

Tips and Tricks.

As you gear up your game with the armors listed, you'll find that most of these are merge friendly but be careful as some involve quests to obtain the armors. Don't go merging quest mods unless you know what you are doing.

Don't think you are done, you still need WEAPONS right? One last page to go, citizen!

PS. Don't forget to rerun your bashed patch if the mods add to the level lists.
