Bonefetus Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'll be blunt: I do not know how to mod, however most of the time I get into Bethesda games there are a bunch of mods out that correct the issues I have, and this is the first time I've kept up with a release. I don't know where to start without proper modding tools, so I'm making a plea to those of you who know how to edit texture and meshes already. Basically, I hate the fact that lots of armor (e.g. Hide) have no leggings or sleeves. I can forgive sleeveless armors, but no leggings? There's snow everywhere in Skyrim, and it totally breaks the immersion for me. There is a fine line between manliness and impracticality. This is just a request for a mod that makes at least leggings and sleeves if you're generous, and I would do this if I knew how to go about extracting skyrim data and editing, but it all seems so intimidating to me.I will appreciate it very greatly if anyone decides to do this.

ishmaeltheforsaken Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Omigosh, I totally thought the exact same thing. I'm in elven gear now, though, and it covers all of me up :3 I've got a robe-y RP set too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDebate Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 At first I thought to myself, "How the heck to people not freeze their bums (and arms and legs) off in these suits of armor? This is just silly." Then I thought to myself, "Alright, seriously. What the heck do the bandits put in their mead to strut around in blizzards wearing *that?* Because I want some!" However, in both cases of self-reflection am I in favor of and will be endorsing any sort of mod that redesigns the hide, fur, and leather armors as well as adds sleeves and leggings where appropriate.

FavoredSoul Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Since its Skyrim, I imagine that all the hide, fur and leather armors in the region would have been designed by nords, who don't "freeze their bums" through exposure cause of their natural, high resistance to frost and cold.

rs4915 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 At the moment it's impossible. Because we can't edit the actual model files yet (The nifskope guys are supposed to be working on it), the best we could do is modify textures. And the textures for the exposed flesh on clothes and armor are part of the character's individual model and not their armor, so unless you go into the character's "naked" texture and make his legs and arms up to look like clothes, it won't happen any time soon.Here's hoping bethesda gets their stuff in gear and gives us that creation kit.
