Armors

Here we have a full out list of armor mods. In the past Skyrim's armor modding was dominated by large overhauls and packs featuring hundreds of poorly optimized meshes, textures and pointless scrips that would clog up your save file and add armors that looked ugly as sin. Thanks to the advent of esl files the best modern practice is to download only the sets that interest you. There are still some overhauls that people use today, most notably Immersive Armors which has a much needed patch for it's poorly optimized meshes. Those overhauls won't be listed here but if you would like to use them they should work well enough with this guide.

Standalone Armors

NordwarUA	This dude has made a ton of armor packs and standalone armors. Very good for Nordic themed characters!
Pulcharmsolis	My personal favorite armor modder. Creates armors inspired by Morrowind concept art. Really great and alien stuff. Some people think his models look a bit washed out though.

Xtudo	This guy has nearly 900 nexus pages. Half of them are texture optimizations and patches but he's also made nice mashups of armors too!
PrincessAries	More recent armor modder with some cool looking mashups!

Johnskyrim	More of a weapon modder but he has some armors too!
Ordinator Armor	The best armor from Morrowind returns to Skyrim! There's a couple versions of the plugin but I like this one because it adds new enemies to the leveled list!
