FAQ

[*] Is that a HORSE?! - Yes, its a horse mod, now available at This Page [*] Is this mod safe to add midgame? - It should be, this mod uses Vanila Scripts for items/models, Most advanced "code" is for Recipes to Randomize Hilt for sword Crafting, [*] Is this mod Compatible with? - Those are new, custom items. This mod should not cause issues with other mods, but if that happens, please report it to me, [*] Why would i use those armors? - B42 vanila Armor is quite powerfull already, This mod's items are supposed to be slightly Above vanila Max Tier for armor, but it comes with high requirements in skills, [*] How do i get those Items? You craft them. Easiest way is to find Recipe Magazines, that can be found like any other Vanila Magazines, or you can level skills untill you Auto Learn them. [*] B41? - No. [*] Does it work in MP? - It's Clothing/Weapon mod. I've made it like all the rest, so in theory it Should Work, but B42 MP is still very recent, so i can't 100% tell. I don't think it will cause issues, at most simply won't work? [*] Can you change or add ...? - Recipes or Balance of Items? Depending on feedback, yes. Models/textures/New items? This mod has been commissioned and all stuff have been approved. IF i really like the idea i might add new versions of texture/models or completly new items. So it depends.
