Practical Female Armors

Description
aka "Less Sexy Armor Redux version 1.3" on the Nexus[www.nexusmods.com]

This is the Steam edition of my mod formerly known as "Less Sexy Armor Redux." It changes some of the female armors to be more consistent with those of their male counterparts.

BUT FIRST, A SMALL REQUEST:
Please go to this mod's Nexus page[www.nexusmods.com] and read the description as well as the stickies in the posts section (especially if you feel like posting a comment). There's much more information there, and I've probably addressed a lot of the common questions/concerns/criticisms/etc. on the Nexus page. Also, if you only like some of the armors and want to be able to pick which ones to use, I HIGHLY suggest downloading from the Nexus[www.nexusmods.com] via Nexus Mod Manager since it comes with a configuration file that allows you to pick what you want.


==========
The Armors:
==========
As of version 1.3, the following armors have been implemented:

Steel Plate Armor, Orcish Armor, Elven Armor, Elven Light Armor, Ebony Armor, Ebony Mail, Imperial Heavy, Dragonscale, Dragonplate, Chitin Heavy, Glass, Nordic Carved, Ancient Nord, Wolf, Vampire, and Stormcloak Officer

I do not plan to add any more armors to this list. This mod was quite a lot of work, and I want to take a bit of a break.

Some people have asked for a feature that allows you to pick and choose which armors you want to use. The original mod had this feature early on, but it utilized the Nexus Mod Manager for that. If you like some of the armors, but not so much others, I highly suggest downloading this mod from Skyrim Nexus[www.nexusmods.com].

=========
Installation:
=========
This mod requires:
Update.esm
Dawnguard.esm
Dragonborn.esm

The Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs are required for this version of the mod. If you don't have them, your game will crash on startup.

If you want a version that doesn't require the DLCs, please download from the Nexus[www.nexusmods.com]

===========
Uninstallation:
===========
Unsubscribe and delete the following:
JZBai_PracticalFemaleArmors.bsa
JZBai_PracticalFemaleArmors.esp

==============
Compatibility:
==============
COMPATIBILITIES:
This mod is 100% compatible with all texture replacers as well as anything that changes vanilla armor values (e.g. SkyRe, Requiem, etc). In addition, it only changes the torso armor, so any modded helmets, boots, etc. should be compatible.
Note that there is an esp file for the alternate Vampire Armor colors. The only thing changed in it is the Armor Addon object for the light gray and red versions. Load that esp after anything that changes those forms.

INCOMPATIBILITIES:
This mod may have some issues with anything that change armor meshes. If you want to maximize compatibility, please download from the Nexus[www.nexusmods.com].

I utterly love this mod, thank you so much for making it ^^ I am a big fan of realistic armors.

Yay, now women of Skyrim don't have to have their boobs deflecting an axe blow to the center of their chest making enemy weapons more deadly to themselves rather than their armour actually protecting the chest

@Black: While I disagree with that, if you only want the Imperial armor replaced than get the mod from Skyrim nexus. It's in the description.

the imperial armor look after that mod truely better.
BUT everything else looks worse after the mod. So you have none of the fact that you play female character instead of male.

Thank you for this, now they look much more cooler and more like a warrior, a warrior is a warrior, there is no need for something diferent for each sex, just like happens in modern times, plus is more practical.

Finally no more boobplate! Crazy to see some comments here but I'm just grateful to not have these weird melons on my chest piece

I know it's a fantasy game but I sure appreciate some realism in fiction and this mod makes armor as it is in real life. Thank you!
