zanderisdumb Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hey guys I see a lot of fantastic uploads here on the Nexus, a lot of lore friendly armor mods and an equal amount of non-lore friendly ones. I have finally started seeing armor mods that allow for use of UNP and CBBE bodies with the vanilla armors, which is great. I also see a lot of really nice looking high res custom armors that work for those bodies as well. (not to exclude armor mods and retexes that are for vanilla bodies. Lots of good ones there too!) Has anyone ever considered doing a (less skimpy) skimpy female armor pack? I really like MAK07's skimpy armor pack - the textures are crisp and the work is well done, but they're too skimpy for my tastes. I like the direction he was trying to go, but I tried some of the skimpy armor packs and standalone armors and felt like I was hacking and slashing my way to a medieval Norse Maxim photo shoot. The armors didn't feel lore friendly enough, being that the only clothes that the girls are wearing is usually something along the lines of a bikini and some shoulder pauldrons. Would anyone consider doing a slightly sexier - vanilla based retex/remodel that will fit on either CBBE or UNP body? Something with a higher res texture map that will show a little skin without making them viking lingerine models? :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pafman123 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've been waiting for something like this to come out for a while now; it's exactly what I'm looking for as well. I would love it if someone could get a mod like this done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarianHawke Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I know what you both mean. I want the same thing, and I've been trying so hard to learn Blender and Nifskope so that I could try to make some armor sets, but it's so confusing, at least to me. :confused: I made an armor request a while back that got a few views and then ended up buried on page 20 by now lol.. which is fine, I understand.. maybe ppl weren't interested, thought it was not very lore friendly, but it was nice (I thought) and feminine without looking like my char wanted to pose for a centerfold. Caliente does a good job with some of the vanilla armors, making them adaptable to the body meshes.. and there is mod that changes the base iron armor to something more feminine, showing tummy and some leg without boobs hangin out all over. :happy: I just use those for now until my brain can grasp Blender.. which might not be this century. But for what it's worth to any modders out there who do know Blender/Nif.. I believe there are quite a few that are interested in this type of mod.

zanderisdumb Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 I agree! I am looking for a lightly more revealing armor pack that doesn't doesn't look like an armored bikini. I would like to see a rework of the vanilla armors that shows more skin without being unreasonable. Exposed neck and upper chest, exposed midsection, and some visible skin on the leg. Enough skin to where the armors are more feminine and sexier than the vanilla ones, but enough armor remaining to make them look like viable pieces of armor. LarianHawke said, I don't know how to use Blender, so I wouldn't be able to do more than an amateourish hackjob of a vanilla recolor. I definitely do not possess the skills to do anything custom. Does anyone have an interest in doing any vanilla armor reworks like I'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassiPie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I totally get where you're coming from. I also posted a similar request in these forums, though not so much for armor. I was looking for some feminine outfits for my mage and assassin/thief-type characters. But the request is still quite similar. The responses I got were all helpful, but what it boiled down to was "You've got a better chance of figuring out how to tweak those models yourself to your taste." It's discouraging - I've been trying and failing hard to learn how. I just don't have the time to learn a new skill like that. I'd rather use that effort to learn a musical instrument or a language. lol. But I fiddle with it in my spare time when I literally have nothing better to do. I think there are more modders looking towards making slightly less skimpy armors and clothes. I just think we'll have to wait a bit longer for it.

lee1138 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I completely agree. I found Ancient Nord Armor and Saviors Hide CBBEv3 Echo by Echo and those are probably my favourite armors at the moment. But there definately needs to be more :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanOsb133 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I completely agree. I found Ancient Nord Armor and Saviors Hide CBBEv3 Echo by Echo and those are probably my favourite armors at the moment. But there definately needs to be more :D +1. Echo does a great job with these and many other armors. There was also another armor I used for Aela for a while but I got over it. It was a glass set. Let me see if I can find a link. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11957 Hope this helps and Im on board, I can't seem to find any less skimpy, more just boob revealing armors. And not clothes, I want armors :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiltratorN7 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 omg please somebody do this. i have been trying to find nightingale with CBBE, but all i could find is the skimpy one which reveals way too much skin. i like nightingale the way it is but i would still like to see it get a CBBE version but it just shouldnt show skin it should still be nightingale.
