Armor of the Old Gods Re-Imagined BHUNP 1.0


4 Screenshots

About This File

This mod started out as a private edit to give the Armor of the Old Gods a more unique look. I subsequently further customized it to fit with the story of my character's adventure. The gist of the re-imagining is explained in the spoiler box below.

 

Spoiler

Kirstia is blessed by Dibella, Hircine, and Mephala. Her body is exposed in respect to Dibella, her head crowned with the horns of Uricanbeg, Hircine's aspect who culls the weak, and her body is inhabited by spiders - children of Mephala who emerge to protect her when threatened.

 

Using assets from Tribal Sorceress Mashup, this armor has a minimalist look that can work as a set for an exhibitionist character, or in the case of the limb parts can complement an existing body piece without changing its visual look. 

 

Features

  • This mod provides unique ARMA records for the Armor of the Old Gods. Instead of looking like generic Forsworn armor, it transforms the character's head with antlers and covers her body with spiders. The arm and leg pieces are simple leather bands that are intended to look unobtrusive.
  • All of the armor parts have been changed from light armor to clothing, with appropriate keyword edits
  • All of the armor parts have been tagged with keywords to prevent stripping in Sexlab scenes. The body pieces additionally has the SOS Revealing keyword to ensure compatibility with 3D Pubic Hair and with Futanari body parts. 
  • The enchantment on the chest piece has been changed to the poison cloak ability from the Ebony Blade, representing the spiders leaping onto and attacking nearby enemies.
  • The current version only supports BHUNP female bodies. Male characters who equip the armor will have normal Forsworn armor pieces.

 

Installation

Important: This mod depends on the assets from Tribal Sorceress Mashup BHUNP. Do not skip the first two steps in the installation process or you will have missing textures.

 

  1. Install Tribal Sorceress Mashup BHUNP and activate it (you can leave the .esp file inactive, however - only the assets are needed)
  2. Build the Tribal Ankle parts from Tribal Sorceress Mashup in bodyslide
  3. Install Armor of the Old Gods Re-Imagined and build the two bodyslide projects it includes (the spiders and the bands)
  4. See Compatibility for cases where patching is required.

 

Compatibility

  • This mod was developed and tested on Skyrim Special Edition 1.5.97 and depends on the BHUNP body and all its requirements. The mod will require backporting to work properly on Legendary Edition. Assuming SMP and the other body dependencies are updated and working, this mod should work with the Anniversary Edition (SSE 1.6+). At this time I cannot provide troubleshooting for AE as I don't have a testing environment set up for it.
  • This mod edits four ARMO records (the MS02Forsworn_______ entries). If you have a mod that edits these records, it will conflict with this mod and may require patching. You can patch manually in xEdit or attempt automatic patching with a tool such as Wrye Bash. If you are not comfortable patching this mod, you should ensure its plugin loads after any other mod that touches the Armor of the Old Gods records, or else you will lose this mod's features.
  • I am not aware of any other compatibility issues with this mod. It does not modify the MS02 quest record.

 

Limitations

  • The no-strip function on the parts will only protect against removal by Sexlab-based functions. Other mods that remove or unequip items may impact this gear. 
  • There is a known issue with the poison cloak ability where it can damage enemies while sneaking and reveal the player's location. I recommend retracting the spiders into your body cavities by unequipping the armor when not in combat.

 

Acknowledgements

  • Many thanks to Ashnur for generously providing permission for me to reuse their assets in this mod. If you enjoyed this mod, please endorse Ashnur's original version on the Nexus.

 

Recommended Mods

Using this armor will leave your character exposed for everyone to see. For increased customization options, consider the following mods:

 

  • 3D SOS Pubic Hair for Males and Females - Provides exactly what the name suggests - 3D, color-matching pubic hair meshes. Unless you prefer your character clean shaven, this is an excellent resource mod.
  • Nordic Warmaiden - Provides body hair overlays that work well as a complement for the 3D SOS Pubic Hair. 
  • OBody Standalone - Lets you choose a custom bodyslide preset from a menu to apply to your character, giving you maximum control over your character's body shape. Unlike Racemenu's BodyGen feature, OBody respects weight settings for maximum diversity and customization.

 

Future Plans

While further work on this mod is not a high priority, I may return in the future for a couple of expansions I've observed an opportunity for. If I end up doing either of these things for my personal setup, I will also update the public version to include them.

 

  • Male support via HIMBO bodyslide
  • Improved Legacy of the Dragonborn support, replacing the armor stand with a female mannequin
