Alchemist's Tunic

An alchemist in Skyrim must trek through mountains, through blizzards, through swamps, and keep an eye on her working reagents with soft hands and keen eyes. But who's to say she doesn't look good doing it? Vanilla mashup armor mod with Frostfall compatibility and light/costume versions. Women only.

There are a lot of great protective gear mods around. However, in searching, I couldn't find anything suitable for my character. I wanted something that looked like it belonged in Skyrim, but had some unique flair. Something practical, but with a feminine touch. Above all, something that combines the aesthetics of the mage and the traveler, like an alchemist traveling both worlds in her work.

So I decided to take matters into my own hands and do something about it. It's a vanilla mashup of Thieves' Guild armor, Mages' Guild Apprentice robes, Barkeeper costume sleeves, and Blacksmith's tights sleeves to cover up any shoulder gaps. Of course, these have been recolored/decorated to look fit for an alchemist's work, with hand-painted "embroidery" on the skirt and mantle. Secondary parts - including gloves, boots, hood and cape - have also been appropriately painted to match. This cloak comes from the amazing Skyrim Cloak mod which generously provides assets for crafting armor. Thanks!

Each piece can be crafted on a tanning rack, and the light armor can also be tempered. They are both compatible with Frostfall and have a good mix of coverage/warmth, although leaning more toward the former. I hope your alchemist finds this unique outfit because "alchemist" is more than a title or a profession - it's a way of life. I wish you all the best and may Kyne smile on your work out in the wild!

current notes

The sleeves were slightly pinched by the cloak. I've tried to reduce the cape as much as possible to avoid this, so unfortunately I think that's what it is.

This mod is currently not compatible with CBBE/Bodyslide. I'd like to change it and will try to do it in the future, but frankly I'm struggling so far. If anyone wants to build a CBBE/Bodyslide port, feel free! All I'm asking is that you let me know and share the file so I can distribute it here.

Thank you for looking, downloading and approving!

There are many, many awesome armor mods around the. However, in my search, I just couldn't find anything that looked quite right for my character. I wanted something that looked like it belonged in Skyrim, but also had a bit of unique flair. Something practical, but with a feminine touch. And most of all, something that combined the aesthetics of the mage and the traveller, much the same way an alchemist walks both worlds in her work.

So, I decided to whip up something of my own. This is a vanilla mash-up of the Thieves Guild armor, the Mages Guild apprentice robes, the barkeeper outfit sleeves, and the blacksmith tighter sleeves to cover up any shoulder gap. Of course, these have all been recoloured/decorated to look appropriate for an alchemist's work, with hand-drawn 'embroidery' on the skirt and mantle. The secondary pieces - including gloves, boots, a hood and a cloak - have also been appropriately recoloured to match. The cloak comes from the ever-amazing Cloaks of Skyrim mod, which generously offers their assets for armor creation. Thank you!

Each piece is craftable at a tanning rack, and the light armor pieces can be tempered, as well. They are all Frostfall compatible, a good mixture of coverage/warmth, though leaning more towards the former. I hope your alchemist finds this unique garb fitting, for 'alchemist' is more than a title or profession - it's a way of life. The best of luck on your ventures, and may Kyne smile on your work in her wilds!

There's some minor clipping of the sleeves into the cloak. I've pared down the cloak as much as I can to avoid this, so unfortunately at this point I think that's just how it is.
