Hey guys. The bump today reminded me that this thread exists.

 

I know the mod is dead and the modders behind it are not at all interested in finishing it. Which is perfectly fine!

 

But I really enjoy this mod - it mostly hits the right notes for me. Of course there were a couple of things I don't like...

 

- The steel & ebony replacers both using the same overused Witcher plate armour set and the textures are kind of blah

- The lack of female versions of armours

- The Imperials were kind of gaudy - TOO high medieval

- The fact that it's incomplete!

 

Some things I solved by using other mods. I play with Becheman's Rebirth of an Empire for a more sober Imperial armour set, which is still fully in keeping with the Credo aesthetic (but keeping the Credo version of Tullius). For bandits I use Brigandage and I have another replacer for the Dark Brotherhood (forget the name at the moment). I also use a variety of mods which make weapons a bit more realistic, such as better shaped weapons, various retextures, real bows, etc. After that, well, I started to tinker...

 

I currently have a number of additional replacers made or in progress as well as some tweaks to existing sets:

 

- Female versions of the more common Credo armours (leather, guard, Stormcloak) - Outfit Studio is a goddamn godsend!
- A better version of the Ebony plate based on a very similar standalone mod

- Steel armours replaced completely

- Iron armour replacer (Banded & regular variants)

- Thieves Guild armours

- Studded/hide armours (cuirass only)

- Orcish armour

- Nordic Carved armour

- Forsworn armours

- Scaled armour (with Chieftain variant)

- Glass armour

- Dawnguard (boots & gauntlets only)

- Cultists (mask, maybe boots as well)

- Other bits and bobs here and there

 

Things I am considering doing

 

- Thalmor robes - no idea what to do here (I have however, changed the boots)

- Various vampire armours

- A Dwarven armour replacer which actually has several armours, to better show that Dwarven armour is scrounged and made of different parts (or sometimes is regular armour newly forged from dwarven metal). Basically a very small version of something like Brigandage just for Dwarven armour

- Dragonscale/Dragonbone armours

- Reshaping or replacing bonemold/chitin armour

 

Things I do NOT plan to change

 

- Elven armour (using the M & F truly light elven armour replacers and the black-and-gold texture makes them fit in well and look good!)

 

Sounds exciting maybe? Well, don't get too excited yet. First off I'm working fairly slowly. Second, I'm using a huge number of sources either as straight replacements or as parts of mashups, most of which still need permissions before open distribution can even be considered (I would have done this as I went along, but this was planned as only being small and private for a long time and has spun out of control over time, luckily I AM keeping careful track of all mod resources used). Third, there's definitely some blank spots - beast races in particular have a lack of resources for things like helmet replacers. So for the time being this is purely a private work.

 

Anyway, with help, it's possible this could be polished up enough for an actual release complimentary (NOT standalone!) to Credo. Even if that's not possible in full, I may still release some individual replacers for which permission can be obtained, but we'll see.

 

Still, if you're interested (I could mostly use a hand with the various .esp edits which will be required for the Credo .esp), feel free to PM me.

SmedleyDButler, your proposal is very interesting, it sounds well, I hope you get it soon, I sincerely am very interested in very medieval armor, I was around because when I started playing skyrim and use mods, I found this project, I downloaded it but not I know they were resources, I thought it was the complete mod hahaha, and then I deleted it, after a little while, I thought, ok, and if I can lend a hand? (yes, I honestly do not have much experience but, I liked them a lot and encouraged me to try it), and I went back to see if the torrent was, :wallbash: I could not believe it, it's not hahaha, and here I am, waiting for people like you to find similar mods :smile:, The truth is that I am trying to make several translations into Spanish of some mods that you carry by nexus :thumbsup:
