About this mod Machine translation

Adds armor to beast races to wear on their tails.

Classic version

This mod essentially adds armor (or modified gloves and boots to be exact) to the beast race to wear around its tail. Seeing as the only other tail armor that exists on Skyrim is through the Argonian Mercenary Armor mod, which only has one tail piece, and that's only for Argonians, I assume it's about time someone made all the other armor materials that exist in Skyrim that would also allow the Khajiit to cover up their tails.

Armor has the same properties as gauntlets, but halved.

All armor is craftable except for the Falmer Tail Bracers, Blade Tail Armor, and Wolf Tail Armor, which can only be found next to the Falmer Armor Set, which is located in the Temple of Paradise Haven in Mheshaif, with the rest of the Blade Armor being sold at Eorlund Gray-Mane in Whiterun, just like the standard Wolf Armor.

To make Fur Tail Sleeves or Presworn Tail Armor, you need to have Fur Tail Sleeves or Presworn Gauntlets and bring them to the tanning rack.

The Female Argonian Tail Mesh comes from the Female Argonian Tail Anal Repair Module.

Armor list:

Sword tail armor

Dadric's Tailplate

Dragon plate tail armor

Dragon scale tail armor

Dwarf Tail Armor

Ebony tail armor

Falmer Tail Bracers

Oathbreaker's Tail Armor

Fur tail sleeves

glass tail armor

Hidden Tail Bracers

Imperial Light Tail Armor

Iron Tail Armor

Orc Tail Armor

Scaletail Bracers

Steel plate tail armor

Steel tail armor

wolf tail armor

compatibility:

Compatible with Frostfall.

This modification modifies the "level list" (ArmorCompanionsSet [LVLI:0010FDE9]) and the container (SkyHavenArmoryChest "chest" [CONT:00103241]). Check the mod via TES5Edit to see if it is incompatible with other mods you have installed.

An alternative version of this mod modifies the vanilla armor to add a tail mesh to it, again check this mod via TES5Edit to see if this causes issues with other mods in the load order.

Custom races are not supported. If the race you want to make it compatible with uses Khajiit or Argonian tails, you can use TES5Edit to add the race to the armor add-on.

BAT has an optional file - a larger armored version of Aragonian Tails, if that's what you use.

The tail armor (not even regular armor if using the Replacer) works at the same time as the cape in the Winter Is Coming mod, I made a patch to fix this. You will be able to wear the armor, but the tail clip will be visible through the cloak.

Classic version

This mod essentially adds armors (or modified gauntlets and boots, to be precise) for the beast races to wear around their tail. Seeing as how the only other tail armor to ever exist for Skyrim was through the Argonian Mercenary Armor mod, which only featured a single tail piece, and only for Argonians as well, I figured it was about high time someone created armors for all the other armor materials that exist in Skyrim, and also allow Khajiits to cover up their tail.

The stats of the armors are the same to that of their Gauntlet equivalent, but halved.

All armor pieces are craftable, with the exception of the Falmer Tail Bracer, Blades Tail Armor and Wolf Tail Armor, which can only be found next to the Falmer Armor set, in Mzinchaleft, Sky Haven Temple where the rest of the blades armor pieces are located, and sold by Eorlund Gray-Mane in Whiterun, as is the case with the standard wolf armor.

To craft the Fur Tail Sleeve, or Forsworn Tail Armor, you need to have Fur Bracers, or Forsworn Gauntlets and have them taken to a tanning rack.

The female Argonian tail meshes are from the Female Argonian Tail Anus Fix mod.

List of armors:

Blades Tail Armor

Daedric Tail Armor

Dragonplate Tail Armor

Dragonscale Tail Armor

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
