ANCIENT NORD ARMORS AND WEAPONS RETEXTURE SE

"Ugh. That armor stinks of death. You been grave robbing?"

If you like my work, please consider leaving a tip on kofi or becoming a Patron!

This mod retextures the Ancient Nord armor, Ancient Nord Weapons, Nord Hero Weapons, Helm of Yngol, Draugr's armor, Hulking draugrs' armor and CC Fishing's Ancient Nord weapons and Nord hero weapons. I also added an optional mesh replacer to add pants and/or cubemaps to the Ancient Nord armor.

Also contains optional retextures for many mods such as Haugbui, Ancient Nord Armoury EXTREME AE, Ahzidal's enchanted armor, D.E.A.D, The dragon cult, Legacy of the dragonborn, Yngol armor SSE, Skyrim Immersive Creatures SE, Nordic wanderer armor and Elsopa's quivers redone.

I do not touch the Draugr NPCs themselves, only their armor. So it is compatible with any Draugr Retexture / replacer

The textures for the Ancient Nord armor are based on Cabal120's aMidianBorn Book of Silence . I used their normal maps as a base to create my retexture. Everything else is based on vanilla textures.

Works with every mod that also works with vanilla textures, such as Heavy armory and animated armory. If you see any major stretching or dark spots when using a mesh replacer, please let me know by linking the mod in the comments and posting a picture of the bugged area (please spoiler the picture to not take too much space) and I will see if I can fix it.

Fomod lets you pick and choose what you want.

Textures are 2k except Chest armor textures, which are 4k.

Half-res version available in Optional files (Chest, weapons and shield are 2k, everything else is 1k)

FOMOD OPTIONS

BASE INSTALL

Choose which of these you want to install

ANCIENT NORD ARMOR

For the ancient nord armor, you will have the choice between textures only, cubemap addons (metallic reflections) and/or pants.

Textures Only

Pants addon

Cubemap addon

Cubemap addon and pants

DRAUGR'S ARMOR

These only affect the armor textures, not the draugrs' bodies. Which means this is compatible with any draugr replacers

HELM OF YNGOL

Comes in two options. "Ancient nordic" which matches the ancient nord armor or "Ebony" which makes it match with my ebony armor textures. Giving this helmet a more unique look. Pick your favorite option (does not affect the item's stats, only visuals)

CONSISTENCY PATCHES

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.

Haugbui

Retextures the stalhrim draugr, draugr warlock, red eagle helmet, stalhrim draugr weapons, ebony draugr weapons, draugr shield, rusty iron shield and rusty stalhrim shield

ANCIENT NORD ARMO(U)RY EXTREME AE

By ButaneBoss

Link

This retexture covers the Ebony, Skaalic, Stalhrim, ancient nord and nord hero armors added by the original mod. It also covers the Deathbrand armor, everscorch weapon and both variants of the Helmet of the unburned. Some armors have multiple options, check below for all options.

Everscorch

Ancient nord armors

Option 1 - No design changes

This version simply retextures the ancient nord armors, without changing their design

Option 2 - Pants addon

This version simply adds pants to the sets that do not have them

Option 3 - Xavbio version

This is my personal tweaked version of the ancient nord armor variants added by this mod. It adds pants to all sets who do not have them and also makes the chest plate design match more closely to the vanilla ancient nord armor's design.

Nord hero armors

Option 1 - No design changes

This version simply retextures the nord hero armors, without changing their design

Option 2 - Pants addon

This version simply adds pants to the sets that do not have them

Option 3 - Xavbio version

This option adds pants and a chainmail undershirt to all sets who do not have pants or undershirts. It also changed the chest plate designs to more closely match the vanilla ancient nord armor design

Ancient Stalhrim and Stalhrim hero armors

Option 1 - no design changes

This version only retextures the ancient and hero stalhrim armors, without changing their design

Option 2 - Xavbio version

This is my own tweaked version of the ancient and hero stalhrim armors. This version adds white fur on the gauntlets and shoulders

Ancient nord and nord hero Shields

Option 1 - metal shields

Simply retextures the shields from the original mod

Option 2 - wooden shields

Replaces the mod's original shields with wooden shields I have created. The mesh is a modified version of Believable weapons' iron shield by JG1

AHZIDAL'S ENCHANTED ARMOR

By MANHUNTER69

Link

Retextures' Ahzidal's enchanted armor. Comes in two variants: Ancient nordic (closer to the vanilla design, uses the ancient nord armor textures for the metal parts) and Ahzidal version, which makes the metal match with my retexture of Ahzidal's mask. Pick your favorite option. Should work with Legacy of the dragonborn's version of this set, but I have not tested it.
