WHAT IT DOES
This mod makes Forsworn Armor look like the pictures - basically, panties removed, chest fur removed. As a variant, also removed chest feathers.
Â
HOW IT WORKS
There are 2 approaches to take:
- texture edits, which is basically a hack, but quite universal and easy to make
- mesh edits, which is difficult to do and can't cover all the variants you like
You should grab either just textures or just meshes. It's redundant to use both, even though it won't break anything.
Â
TEXTURES APPROACH
The way it works is, we use the textures to make undesired parts of the armor invisible. The solution is universal - works with any bodytype, any mesh, doesn't matter if you use HDT, CBBP, or static mesh, UNP, CBBE, 7Base, 3BBB or whatever, Bodyslide or not.
Drawback: while invisible, the armor part is still there. If the mesh gets splattered with blood, it will reveal the invisible fur still being on the chest.
Â
MESHES APPROACH
Foolproof solution. We basically remove the part of the armor we don't want. You can use vanilla textures or any texture replacer you like (I've seen a white leopard retexture for example).
Drawback: you are stuck with the body I've chosen. It's SE-optimized mesh (doesn't work in Oldrim). It's UNP. It's static (no CBBP or HDT physics). If you want a different bodytype, you'd have to use Nifskope to remove the existing body mesh (keeping just the armor and put in your own. Not really an end-user solution.

What's New in Version v1.3
Released
- v1.3: better optional mesh patch for UNP SE, both with and without feathers - actually removes the parts I've been making invisible with textures so far - this is the perfect solution that goes with any texture, but you are stuck with UNP body with no jiggle physics as long as you wear this
- v1.2: recreated textures in 1024x1024 resolution - more crispy now
- v1.1: optional mesh patch for UNP SE
- v1.0: initial release
