Apologies if this in the wrong place.

Well this thread is fairly self-explanatory. What are the best clothes and/or armour mods, and why?

I'm looking for some type of light armour which would suit an wilderness-freak Ranger Dark Elf - along with a cloak too.
Male. No body replacers.

You're asking others to create the criteria for your question?

I just want to know which clothes and armour mods are the best in peoples opinions. However as I understand it some mods may encompass only one of the aforementioned.

Well, if you want popular opinion, why not search the Nexus, and sort accordingly? Plus, check the Top 100, naturally.

For example, with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/advancedsearch.php you can find just about anything.

You can enter search terms (note: partial words do match, generally), http://tesnexus.com/downloads/search.php?name=rose&scid=20&author=&mname=&desc=&size1=&size2=&downloads1=&downloads2=&udate1_day=&udate1_month=&udate1_year=&udate2_day=&udate2_month=&udate2_year=&ldate1_day=&ldate1_month=&ldate1_year=&ldate2_day=&ldate2_month=&ldate2_year=&endorsemants=&images=&readme=&advltonly=&opensource=&page=1&orderby=downloads&order=DESC. That's a search for "rose" (a random thing that popped into my head), sorted by downloads, descending. But you can do whatever, however you like.

And there's the http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/categories.php option, and within each of those, you can sort as you like as well. You might find downloads descending or endorsemants descending to be the most useful, in this context. Or not - that's for you to discover.

Enjoy.


edit: Basically, what *I* like is unlikely to be relevant to *you*. So, why should I (or most others, I suppose) respond with specific personal likes? I happen to favour realistic/historical/pseudo-historical, followed by plausible and sensible, followed by plausible and beautiful (though these last two can be the same thing, if rarely). Most people... don't.

Just about every mod I found that is based around a particular item or items and not immersion enhancement or utilities or whatever, I found by paging through HUNDREDS of search results and categories on tesnexus. I spent a great deal of time doing this over the course of a couple months, and it was worth it. I have everything I could ever ask for and am compiling my collected links into the best Oblivion mod website ever.

What I'm saying is: to find what you want sometimes it can take some work.

But "best clothes/armor mod" is a really generalized request, if you want any suggestions you'll probably have to get more specific. Clothes/armor for whom? Do you mean new items or enhanced versions of vanilla clothes/armor?

Thanks for the link Patron. I'll give it a look. Would definitely like some recommendations though as there are so many to choose from.

Yeah palidoo, apologies.

I'm looking for some type of light armour which would suit an wilderness-freak Ranger Dark Elf - along with any type of cloaks really.

It might also help to know if the apparel is to be worn by a male or female and what, if any, body replacer you use.

Sorry, I wouldn't have known that having not used mods before. Male. No body replacer.

Your best bet is searching tesnexus, probably the armor or models/textures categories specifically, and just search the description (probably would get you more results than just searching title) for "ranger" or similar concepts, until you find something you like. There are vasts amounts of new armors so you'll probably find many that meet your criteria.

If you're new to modding I know it can be pretty intimidating because there's just so much to choose from, and honestly if you want to get the most out of it you'll just have to spend some time searching for new things, checking out all the various lists here on the forum, until you've built up an idea of what's available and what you might want to add/change. If you just want a new armor for your character, though, it's as easy as searching for it, so long as you know how to search well.

This might be just what you're looking for. One of my favorites.
