If you're seeking to enhance your Skyrim with a greater selection of armor sets without breaking from the natural feel of the game, this mod is for you. It adds many new armor sets that have been seamlessly integrated into the world. The items are balanced and spread across your gaming experience. You will be finding new, power appropriate armor sets starting from level one up to level fifty and beyond.This mod will be constantly evolving to bring new life into your world. Currently this mod adds 55 new sets of armor to the game (over 60 including variants), tons of additional non-set helmet options, 396 new shields, and a large number of other items such as eye patches, capes, earrings, scarves and more! There are 2693 files in all. They are all craftable, upgradable, enchantable and are integrated into the game through leveled lists, quest rewards, placement in dungeons and/or onto specific people.Immersive Armors is highly customizable through the in game MCM menu or spell menu. Since at the time there is no MCM menu for SSE, I encourage you to try out the spell menu, found in the shout powers section of the magic menu.Here are some of your customization options:I would like to thank the users of my mods, and the Nexus community at large. I am honored to be a part of this community, and to contribute to it. Thank you for your patronage of my work, whether it comes through comments, endorsements or even a kind donation. You are the reason that I spend long hours of work bettering Skyrim. The Nexus community is the reason I continue to create mods. Thank you.The Immersive Armors Configuration has Finished message appears repeatedly.Your game and/or save are corrupt. Assuming you have SkSE, you can try:Load a save from before you installed IA.Go to an interior cell (like a player home)In the Console enter: ClearInvalidRegistrations 1Then save your game.Try installing IA on that save.I am upgrading from version X to version Y. Anything I need to know?No. I make installation a one click process for your ease of use.Will you make a CBBE patch?Link in the 3rd sticky post.I have the following NMM error:FailureA problem occurred during install..."system.outofmemoryexception"...The mod was not installedThis error has nothing to do with my mod. This is an error thrown by NMM 32bit for all large files.For 32bit NMM users, I suggest a manual install. My mod is only 3 files. It is easy to keep track of.Go tell the Nexus staff to fix this. The best way to be heard is to speak.The download for this file on Nexus Mod Manager keeps stopping before it's finished! Help!This is a problem with the NMM program, and unrelated to this mod. Navigate to C: -> Games -> Skyrim -> mods -> downloads. Delete anything with the name hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation found there. Also do the same for the cache folder found under mods. Now download again.- Converted meshes to new SSE standards- Updated shader flags to new SSE standards- Fixed an issue with the female Dwarven Mage gloves that could cause a crash- Updated ground models and 1st person models that were incorrect- Added body slide to a few models where it was not functioning- Delayed most of Immersive Armor's startup processing until after the player's handcuffs are removed.
