===>>> SABRE CAT GEAR === Ancient Nord Armor Variations Add-on!
---> presented by DVAted ---

With the assistance of:
TreasureChest (aka OG-Jay) and rahman530

________
Description:

This mod add-on aims to add standalone Snow and Puma versions of the Ancient Nord Armor cuirass.
It's been optimized for both male and female characters.

This mod was created in the style and purpose of the Sabre Cat Gear Mod Pack

Therefore, it will require a snow sabre cat pelt to craft the snow armor,
and some charcoal sticks to create the puma version.
The base ingredient is a normal cuirass of Ancient Nord Armor.
You can acquire the normal armor:

a. in Forelhost during the quest "Siege on the Dragon Cult". The armor is dropped by the ghosts of the Dragon Cult who appear as transparent Draugr (Ancient Nords). After killing one, you will need to search the ash pile for the armor set.

b. on the ghost encountered at Kjenstag Ruins during 8:00 PM and 4:00 AM.

c. by crafting it at the Skyforge. In order to craft it you need to have finished the Companions questline, then speak to Eorlund Gray-Mane, he will speak about Kodlak's spirit being infused with the Skyforge. Strangely, originally, the option to craft the armor will show up in the "Daedric" smithing subsection. I included alternative .esps that fix this problem by moving all Ancient Nord Armor pieces in the Draugr section of the Skyforge menu.

The Snow and Black variations are under the Draugr Section and can be crafted at any forge.

________

For modded armor models:
3. The one entitled:

Attention: Use only ONE .esp of your choice!

The new textures were made by DVAted.

That's pretty much it!

We hope you enjoy your new custom armors that match with your sabre cat hoods, boots and gauntlets from the Sabre Cat Gear Mod Pack and with the Sabre Gear Backpacks
