Electroplated leather armor-from Midwood Island

New custom armor created by myself using Outfit Studio. Originally planned as a modders resource, but I thought I'd create it as an actual mod in case people wanted to use it in their games.

Description

This mod adds new custom light armor to the game, which can be crafted at any forge under the misc section as long as you have the "Advanced Armors" perk. As with the vanilla mage robe, there are three different variations.

This armor is designed as vanilla mage robes, but with Dawnguard armor underneath. This gives the appearance of armored robes (and is not obviously Dawnguard armor). The handguards and boots are the same model as the Dawnguard, and the hood is the vanilla hood model.

I'm uploading it as an armor model for those who want to use it in their games/have the ability to craft it, and also as a modders resource for people to use in their own mods.

Requires Dawnguard.

This can be used together with Midwood Island. They have different IDs, so technically two separate objects (but still using the same mesh).

There is CBBE bending conversion under the "optional" section of the file page. It should be used with the main mod as it simply transforms the mesh. Will also be working in Midwood Isle.

statistics and production

Armor can be crafted by obtaining the "Advanced Armor" perk under Miscellaneous. This perk also affects armor tempering. The collection has the following statistics:

Leather Hood - Weight 1, Armor 9

Plated Leather Robe - Weight 6, Armor 36

Leather Gloves - Weight 2, Armor 10

Leather Boots - Weight 2, Armor 10

This puts it somewhere between glass armor and scale armor. The hood is much less dense due to realism, but can be changed at will.
