So, I just picked up connary's texture replacers yesterday and they're absolutely gorgeous. It got me to thinking -- walls and bottles and barrels looks great, but the armor and clothing still looks the same. Are there any mods out there that just retexture/upgrade/whatever the vanilla armor/clothing? Not new, fan-made armors or clothing anything.

Better Clothes by the pyschodog team will improve the look of clothing - you'll need to google it as i can't link to their site here

Darknut did a couple of texture mods for http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5882and http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7401

Keazen did improved textures for the http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6272 and http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6736

Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks. Kind of perfect, really. Keazen did all the stuff not covered by Better Clothes while Darknut just redid the Better Clothes stuff. Full coverage!

darknut did more than the clothes. he's redone all the armor and weapons ingame. they are real good, and i always use them. most of his stuff is on pes

Just took a look at his remake of the whole Red Mountain adventure; looks pretty epic, downloading now. Too bad my character's already finished that. Oh well, next character. Dunno how I feel about some of his weapon textures/modifications though.

If you are looking for better looking clothes, you might want to take a look at http://canadianice.moddersrealm.com/RobeReplacer.html. Needs registering there.

I really don't like many of those robes at all. How many female scholars would actually wear tight, form-fitting robes? Robes are meant to be comfy and flowing. Those don't do that at all. If I want to make a female character and show off her curves, I'll wear something besides robes.

(Translation: no thanks.)

Only the ones with better bodies.
