The armour is composed of 17 different pieces, 6 fur complements plus a wig for the hood that can be created at any normal forge and are found under the Studded section. All pieces are upgradable at workbenches and fully enchantable. The ratings for Bodice, Boots and Bracers are those of Dragonscale armour except the weight that is the one of the elven armour. The armour comes in 6 different colours: Green, Brown, Black, White, Red and Olive. The fur complements come in 3 colours: Brown, Black and White. There is a wig for the hood changes colour with your character's hair colour. This only works on the player, so it is called "POTW Wig - Player". The ability of the wig to keep the colour when unequipping/equipping it or when exiting Skyrim completely and loading a saved game, it is managed through scripts that require SKSE version 1.6.16 or higher. The scripts work for vanilla hair colours and custom hair colours added by the RaceMenu mod. If you don't use SKSE or use an older version, when the wig looses its hair colour use the showracemenu console command to set your character's hair colour again and that will fix the wig's colour. There are also other 8 wigs that have a fixed colour, intended for followers or other NPCs. This makes a total of 123 new items (provided I counted them correctly) added to the game. You can combine the pieces of the different colours. I've followed the slot usage convention explained here: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Skyrim_bodyparts_number The "Trousers (body slot)" item displays the trousers on your character (and also a bra for females), and uses the body slot.This means this item cannot be equipped at the same time than the cuirass/bodice, but it allows male characters to wear only the trousers without the cuirass and look good ;) Armour (bodice with skirt) Statistics ------------------------------------- * Slot = 32 (Body) * Weight = 4 * Value = 1,500 * Armour rating = 41 * Type of armour = Light armour cuirass * Enchantment: None Bodice Statistics ----------------- * Slot = 32 (Body) * Weight = 2 * Value = 800 * Armour rating = 21 * Type of armour = Light armour cuirass * Enchantment: None Boots Statistics (both versions: over the knee and folded down) --------------------------------------------------------------- * Slot = 37 (Feet) * Weight = 1 * Value = 300 * Armour rating = 12 * Type of armour = Light armour boots * Enchantment: None Bracers Statistics ------------------ * Slot = 33 (Hand) * Weight = 1 * Value = 300 * Armour rating = 12 * Type of armour = Light armour gauntlets * Enchantment: None Dagger Statistics (both versions: normal and higher up) ------------------------------------------------------- * Slot = 53 * Weight = 1 * Value = 500 * Armour rating = 5 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Belt Statistics (both versions: for trousers and for the skirt) --------------------------------------------------------------- * Slot = 52 * Weight = 0.5 * Value = 250 * Armour rating = 3 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Belt with Dagger Statistics (both versions: for trousers and for the skirt) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Slot = 52 * Weight = 0.7 * Value = 400 * Armour rating = 4 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Stockings Statistics -------------------- * Slot = 54 * Weight = 0.2 * Value = 100 * Armour rating = 3 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Trousers Statistics ------------------- * Slot = 49 * Weight = 2 * Value = 700 * Armour rating = 20 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Trousers (body slot) Statistics -------------------------------- * Slot = 32 * Weight = 2 * Value = 700 * Armour rating = 20 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Cape Statistics --------------- * Slot = 45 * Weight = 2 * Value = 500 * Armour rating = 18 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Hood Statistics --------------- * Slot = 31 (hair) * Weight = 0.5 * Value = 100 * Armour rating = 15 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Fur Boots Statistics (both versions: for the over the knee and for the folded down boots) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Slot = 48 * Weight = 0.5 * Value = 250 * Armour rating = 3 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Fur Bracers Statistics ---------------------- * Slot = 60 * Weight = 0.5 * Value = 250 * Armour rating = 3 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Fur Collar Statistics ---------------------- * Slot = 46 * Weight = 0.5 * Value = 250 * Armour rating = 3 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Fur Skirt Statistics (both versions: normal and lower fur skirt) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Slot = 56 * Weight = 0.5 * Value = 250 * Armour rating = 3 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Wig Statistics (all 9 wigs) --------------------------- * Slot = 55 * Weight = 0.1 * Value = 50 * Armour rating = 5 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Armlets Statistics ------------------ * Slot = 58 * Weight = 0.3 * Value = 300 * Armour rating = 2 * Type of armour = Light armour clothing * Enchantment: None Required mods ============= The female bodies used for the armour are the default UNP bodies ([url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=6709]http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=6709[/url]). The male bodies used for the armour are the Sundracon bodies ([url=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2488//?]http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2488//?[/url]). If you use another body mod you may see weird textures in places were the clothing shows the skin or see some clipping. There is also available a conversion to the UNPB-BBP body made by belisariu here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26089 The ability of the wig to keep the colour when unequipping/equipping it or when exiting Skyrim completely and loading a saved game is managed through scripts that require SKSE version 1.6.16 or higher (http://skse.silverlock.org/). If you don't use SKSE or use an older version, when the wig looses its hair colour use the showracemenu console command to set your character's hair colour again and that will fix the wig's colour.

If you find anything, please tell me. Known Issues or Bugs ==================== There is some clipping in some poses. The bodice/cuirass mesh has a lot of polygons, so it may cause lag in some computers. The wig and hood now are visible when equipped by beast races, but they may clip as their head has a different shape than the human head. The scripts for the player's wig work for vanilla hair colours and custom colours added by the Race Menu mod by Expired. If you are using custom hair colours added by another mod they may not work (I just don't know). If you find anything else, please tell me.
