I've ALWAYS wanted something like this. It'd take a ridiculous amount of work, but I'd absolutely LOVE it. It may need some variety to keep it from being one gigantic escort quest, however.

So I've been messing about with the Draugr armor. Through both the use of The "Skyrim Modesty Mod" (which helped out a lot) and amidianborn's textures, I've been trying to make a lighter sort of leather-esque draugr armor. I'll ask the makers of both mods if they'd be okay with me publically releasing this (It's a basic armor mashup.)   However, I'm stuck at the moment. See, the body mesh still has the legs on it. Being the type who fixes most things with alpha layers, I made a copy of the body texture, set it to use that, cut out the legs on the copy and added a NiAlphaFlag to the nif. I set the flags to 128, disabled blending, set the value to Greater and enabled testing. It looks perfectly fine in Nifskope   My problem, however, is that the alpha layer does NOT apply ingame. I even tried manually messing with the vertices in nifskope (I'm awful with blender/3ds max). I can't seem to figure this out, and the clipping is horrible ingame.   Any help?   (By the way, be warned I'm not all that great with mashups in nifskope. It's kind of ugly at the moment xD draugrarmorfemalelight_0.nif

    Oooh. I had heard that bodyslide can do cool stuff, but didn't know it was that useful. I'll have to install it and give it a shot.   Thanks for the tip!

    I don't have trouble with actually messing with the mesh itself, but I can't for the life of me figure out the weight painting / rigging bits. I've never been able to.   Is that something that's necessary? Or can I just port the armor into blender, mess about with it then export it without having to do all that stuff?

And I don't mean bouncing boobs... please not that. I mean have the robe bit flow and move a bit. Like weak physics, hangs low, etc.   I've been waiting for a mod like this since HDT first came out, but so far it's only been sexual related mods with VERY few clothing physics mods, and even then, that's not something I'm interested in.   No disrespect intended, ofc. That's just not my kinda thing.   But anyways, if anyone is willing to give this a swing, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'd take a swing at it myself, but despite the dozens (and I mean *DOZENS*) of times I've tried to work with meshes or even rig anything, I can't make ANY progress.

  I feel your pain. I've tried just basic mesh work and it flies right over my head.   It makes me sad that we've still yet to see a full HDT conversion of vanilla assets (well, aside from the skimpy conversions, that is.)

BRUH. I fuckin' love you. Please, PLEASE go through with the HDT robe bits! Too many mods just add HDT to breasts and butts (even though it's plate armor... Is your ass and tits made of fuckin antimatter?)! Good luck to you, man!

Anyone? I want to slim down the upper body. I've slightly achieved this using SoS and Slimmer male bodies for SoS, but I haven't found any *GOOD* skeletons, aside from this obscure one. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/7029/?Using the high elf option, I pretty much got it how I wanted, but it's very incompatible and even FNIS breaks it.

Really hopeful that this didn't die... I really hate the default ape-like men of Skyrim

Something exposing / light like that, but at the same time just SLIGHTLY more covering; no real "Clothing" to it, just some more belts / straps strewn about the body.   I realize this is probably very simple to do in a modelling program, but I have some serious trouble "Re-importing" things, and as such doubt I'd be able to do it.

Good luck. There's only about 10 people in this whole community who care about applying HDT to clothing, sadly, the rest is body physics. Though I truly do hope you figure this out, as any clothing mods are greatly welcomed.

There's barely any good armor ones. And I mean ones that aren't skimpy armor mods. HDT has been out for well over a year now, and nobody has thought to make Vanilla armor conversions into HDT? Seriously? I get that this is a HUGE focus of the Skyrim modding community but come on. Can't we have a TINY bit of variety?   inb4 "IF U WUNT IT SO MUHC DO IT URSELF LOL", because that's the #1 argument when someone requests something perfectly reasonable and the majority dislikes it.
