The best Skyrim mods to update the appearance of vanilla armour sets and add new high quality sets to your game
Hi and welcome to my latest hub on Skyrim, the fifth instalment of the Elder Scrolls series by Bethesda. In today’s hub, I am going to look at the best armour mods available for Skyrim.
- Firstly, I look at improving the look of the existing vanilla armour sets by installing mods with higher definition textures and making them fit newer player character body shapes
- Secondly, I will examine some of the best mods available that add new lore friendly and high quality armour sets to Skyrim
I have a companion hub that introduces mods for weapons that similarly will:
- Significantly improve the look of all of the vanilla weapons in game
- Introduce beautiful high quality new weapons sets that will add hundreds of beautiful new weapons including fantastic swords, stunning bows, staffs, axes, spears and maces
- All mods are lore friendly and integrate seamlessly with the existing vanilla weapons in Skyrim
My hub on weapons can be found here:
All mods are available for download from the Skyrim Nexus Mods website, http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim. In order to get the best out of Nexus, I have written a guide to this website which can be found here:
I would recommend using one of the following two Mod Management tools for Skyrim, Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer
Nexus Mod Manager is an excellent tool which offers:
- Single click downloads
- A very user friendly and easy to use user interface
- You can easily and quickly install and uninstall all your mods
- This tool will automatically check all your mods for available updates and also update your mod load order automatically
I have a hub that introduces Nexus Mod Manager which can be found here:
Mod Organizer is a more advanced tool that as well as installing and managing your mods:
- Also allows you to clean saved games and organize your mod order
- It installs mods more cleanly than Nexus Mod Manager (each mod is installed into its own folder) and is suitable for people who are more familiar with installing mods or are having problems getting mods to install correctly with Nexus Mod Manager
- You can also create Profiles that have different mods installed and ini files with different settings to allow you to test risk free
My hub on Mod Organizer can be found here:
How to best install mods to ensure that Skyrim looks exactly how you want it to look
I thoroughly recommended that when looking to improve an aspect of Skyrim using mods that you:
- Start with a mod that improves the look of all vanilla content
- Next installing mods improving specific aspects of it further
- Check when installing mods for patches that allow your installed mods to work together better
- Then add mods that add new things to the game
I always download all the mods that I like the look of and think that improve a specific aspect of the game. Then I think of the best order using the rules I outlined above.
Next, test each mod in turn by playing the game. Sometimes you will love the look of the mod from screenshots but it simply doesn’t look right to you in your game. Uninstall it immediately before adding any more mods. This way, you won’t be in the middle of a game thinking “I don’t like the look of that, wish I could get rid of it but I don’t remember which mod it is from”. Believe me, I have been there and it is really frustrating!
Once you have Skyrim looking exactly how you want it, be very careful when adding new mods and only use mods that introduce new content or that will definitely work with your installed mods to ensure that you don’t have to re-install mods to fix any issues the new mod may introduce.
The aMidianBorn Book of Silence mod by CaBaL an excellent mod for upgrading vanilla armour sets in Skyrim
The first mod we will look at is the aMidianBorn Book of Silence mod written by CaBal. This excellent mod improves the graphics of all vanilla armour sets by using higher quality textures. All are lore friendly and built from scratch. You can see the increase in detail in the guards armour in the picture below.
In all sixteen armour sets are replaced. There is also a patch (aMidianBorn Textures For Immersive Armors and Lore-Friendly Armor Pack - Full Set Armour) that allows some of the textures from CaBals mod to be used in Immersive Armours which is the next mod we will look at.

Immersive Armors mod for Skyrim by hothtrooper44 to add new high quality armour sets to Skyrim
This is a truly wonderful mod from a very talented modder. It adds 22 new armour sets, three new shields and a whole array of other additions including eye patches, scarves and even a kilt that are both lore friendly and balanced to the game. All objects are can be crafted, upgraded and have enchantments added to them. In game they can be found as quest rewards, in loot and being worn by Non Player Characters.
Calientes Vanilla Outfits for CBBE mod by Caliente for Skyrim to give your female player character a curvier figure
For those of us using Caliente’s stunning Calientes Female Body Mod Big Bottom Edition - CBBE to give our player character a curvier body shape, this mod is a must. It changes the meshes for all vanilla armour sets so that they fit your player character better. It will remove any seams or clipping that you may otherwise experience.
Note:This mod will only change meshes to allow the armour to look right with the changed body shape, no textures are changed so it will not overwrite any of the mods you install to upgrade or enhance the appearance of your armour in game.
If you don’t have CBBE and would like to learn more about it, I have a hub that covers customising the appearance of your player character in great detail which can be found here:
XAC - Xenius Armour Compilation an armour compilation mod for Skyrim to add beautiful new armour
The last compilation mod I would like to introduce is Xenius’s XAC - Xenius Armour Compilation mod. This mod introduces four armour sets for female player characters. The sets are:
- Blade Dancer
- Royal Scout
- Lady Bulwark
- Maiden Vagabond
As you can see from the screenshot, they are beautiful armour sets that allow your female character to still look feminine wearing armour without it being too revealing and looking out of place in wintery Skyrim.
Armour mods that add new high quality armour sets to Skyrim
Now, we will look at some of the best mods for Skyrim that add a single armour set to the game. As with all the other mods, these are lore friendly and give Skyrim a consistent look and feel and do not break your immersion when you are playing the game.
The first is Crimson Ranger Armor by Patobek. This mod adds a new armour set designed specifically for Rangers. It is designed for both male and female characters and as you can see from the screenshot below, the level of detail is impressive and the armour looks lovely. The armour is also craftable. Be sure to install both the mod and the fix when installing this mod.
The second mod I recommend is actually a shield mod. Skyforge Shields by Dreogan. This mod allows you to craft shields at the Skyforge or purchase some of them from Eorlund Graymane. As you can see from the screenshot, these are truly gorgeous shields. The mod author recommends that you install the mod Dual Sheath Redux if you want to be able to wear your shield on your back.
Next, Warchief Armor by the author of Immersive Amors, hothtrooper44. This standalone armour set is for a Barbarian character and exactly what you would expect a Barbarian to wear in the colder climate of Skyrim.
I would recommend also checking out the authors other standalone armour sets particularly the Spellbinder and Vagabond sets if they fit the character that you are playing. As you would expect from a modder of hothtrooper44’s ability all their mods are of a superb standard are totally lore friendly.
Bosmer Armor Pack by Maty743 is the last mod I will look at today. The Bosmer or Wood Elves in Skyrim are excellent hunters and archers and the armour sets (five in all) introduced in this mod are wonderful. They can be crafted only using Elven forges and are made entirely of leather and bone. The detail, as you would expect from the Elves is wonderful and if you play a Bosmer character I cannot recommend this mod enough.
Conclusion
Today, I have continued my series looking to improve the look of vanilla objects in Skyrim and also expanding it using mods. I only include mods that not only look beautiful, but also fit with the overall look and feel of Skyrim and do not break your immersion. We have looked first of all at.
- The aMidianBorn Book of Silence mod by CaBaL that improves all the vanilla armour textures to make all vanilla armour look much more detailed
- Immersive armors by hothtrooper44 adds an enormous number of lore friendly armour sets (22 in all)
- Calientes Vanilla Outfits for CBBE mod byCaliente allows your armour to look good on your Player Character if you take advantage of the curvier body shapes offered by CBBE
Finally, we looked at a collection of mods that introduce:
- Wonderful Skyforge shields
- Armour for barbarians, wood elves and rangers.
I do hope that you found my hub useful and that you have installed, are using and love some of the hubs I introduced today. I would like to thank all the modders for their wonderful content and of course Bethesda for making the games I love.
Which of the mods featured in this hub is your favourite?

Editor's note: Updated 4/14/19
The final season of the biggest television event in history has officially begun. And after years of waiting, Game of Thrones is almost over.
That makes it a perfect time to make the strongholds of Skyrimfeel a little more like Winterfell with some killer mods! Here we look at 10 of the best current mods available to give Skyrim a proper Game Of Thrones feel, from adding in followers based off the show to new armor and weapons and even a direwolf mount.
Easily the biggest and most ambitious Song Of Ice And Fire universe mod that arrived for Skyrim was the 'Game Of Thrones Adaptation,' which you'll note is conspicuously absent. Download data dari gps android. That's because the original version is no longer available while the modder puts together a new, updated edition that has been in the works for a good long time now. Fingers crossed it gets finished soon!
Oh, and if you're looking for all the incestuous opportunities offered up by Game Of Thrones mods, you're at the wrong list. Let your inner freak out with our Skyrim fetish mods list instead.
If you aren't caught up with the show, proceed at your own risk, as spoilers abound!
Game Of Thrones Followers
There are a whole bunch of these new companions available based on book/TV show characters, and frankly a lot of them are awful. Most of them look nothing like the actors they are trying to emulate.
Coolest Skyrim Armor Mods
I've skipped all of those and only included the ones that obvious effort went into, and they look like the real deal. Ser Davos, Tormund, and Eddard in particular are pretty spot-on to their TV version counterparts.
Check each mod's description for the location where you'll find each of the individual new Game Of Thrones followers while adventuring across Skryim!
Game of Thrones Presets
Now you've got the show-worthy followers to look at, but what if you want the main character in Skyrim to be from the series as well? That's where these presets come in, automatically crafting your starting character to look like specific A Song Of Ice and Fire characters.
Take careful note of the descriptions before using these presets however, as many of them were achieved using other mods. You'll need to have those mods installed first, or you won't get a character who actually looks like Daenerys, Margaery, etc.
Armor Compilation
The costumes in the TV version of the series are incredibly distinctive -- and even if you couldn't see their faces, you'd immediately know who The Hound, Ser Loras, Brienne of Tarth, and any member of the Kings Guard were just based on what they wear.
Bringing that element of the show into Skyrim, this mod adds 20 different armor variations into the game -- from the Night's Watch black leather to the armor worn by (would-be) King Renly and The Mountain.
Update: If you've run into issues with the armor compilation mod, there seems to be a new version that fixes some of the textures. Download it here.
Winter Is Coming - Cloaks
You can't be a proper man of the Night's Watch without a wolf skin cloak, now can you? Although not perfectly matching the aesthetics of the show, this one comes pretty close with a variety of new craftable cloaks added to match the feel of The Wall and all those freezing areas even further north.
House Crest Shields
From Arryn all the way through Tully, this mod painstakingly re-creates every single Game Of Thrones house crest on the game's various shields. Now you can stalk through the snow wearing a Stark crest or pacify the north wearing the regalia of house Bolton!
Direwolf Mount
Winter is coming, and that's why you need a massive direwolf mount to plow through the snowdrifts! He's the size of the game's regular horse, but has a much sharper bite..
Much like the direwolves given to the Stark children, however, he's his own wolf and doesn't care much for orders. While this mount will fight and let you ride him, if you dismount he'll head back wherever he wants to go and not follow you across the whole Skyrim landscape.
Lannister Guards
The city of Solitude already has a bit of a King's Landing feel, so it makes sense to further that by throwing a ton of Lannister guards in there. This mod replaces the normal guard outfits with the Lannister red and gold armor seen so often in the show. It's a small change, but somehow still manages to make Skyrim feel significantly more like Game Of Thrones.
Sounds Of Westeros
This one really immerses you in the feel of the TV show, offering up an additional element to accompany all those visual mods and new followers from A Song Of Ice and Fire. All 29 songs from the first season soundtrack are injected into the game, replacing the original music in a variety of locations and scenarios.
There's a big catch here though, the mod obviously doesn't include the music itself, as that's copyrighted and the legit mod sites would ban that sort of thing right away.
In order to make the mod work, you have to actually own the soundtrack to Season One, which you can easily buy online via various digital music outlets.
Weapons Mini-Pack
Although this mod includes several different weapons, the real reason to get it is for Ice. While the other weapons are fine, they don't particularly look like their GoT counterparts. But Ice nails the ludicrously oversized nature of Eddard's signature weapon before being melted down by the evil Tywin Lannister.
Dothraki Arakh

![Coolest Skyrim Armor Mods Coolest Skyrim Armor Mods](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8jNI7wwPVdE/maxresdefault.jpg)
Want to play through Skyrim as a Dothraki horse warrior who is really, really out of his element if the frozen peaks of the north? This mod gets you a little bit closer with the traditional Dothraki Arakh Blade seen in the first season of the show (and again later when Daenarys finally takes control of the hordes).
Pro Tip: if the Freys invite you for a wedding feast in a new quest after installing any of these mods, you should probably decline the offer.
As easily one of the most-modded games of all time, injecting some A Song Of Ice And Fire into Skyrim is just the tip of the modding iceberg. Have more fun changing the game in unexpected ways with these Skyrim mods:
