I. Description:

Thanks for downloading Skyrim Armory, and hopefully you'll enjoy playing it. This is the 2nd edition of the mod, also known as the Frozen Platinum Edition.

A new blacksmith/tailor shoppe called Red Wyrm has opened just outside Bruma, selling imported Skyrim armor, clothing and weapons. Red Wyrm is open from 6AM to 7PM.

Magda & Brask Wulfheim own the Red Wyrm, they sell clothing and armor/weapons respectively. Both of them have 1500 barter gold. Brask also offers repair services.

Skyrim Armory 2 adds +75 new armor, weapon and clothing items into Oblivion, including a truly unique set of Trollbone Armor and Weapons.


II. Features:

- Skyrim themed weapon sets
- Skyrim themed armor sets
- Skyrim themed clothing
- New icons for all items
- Custom textures
- Custom meshes
- Custom store


III. Installing:

Unpack the SSA.esp and the Meshes and Textures folders to the Oblivion\Data folder in your Oblivion installation directory, default:

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data

Then load up Oblivion, select data files and enable SSA.esp and you're done!


IV. Uninstalling:

Uninstalling is very simple and takes only a few steps to complete:

1. Deactivate SSA.esp in the launcher\data files.
2. Go to Data\Textures: remove the folder labeled SSA.
3. Go to Data\Textures\Menus\Icons: remove the folder labeled SSAIcons.
4. Go to Data\Meshes: remove the folder labeled SSA.

And you're done!


V. Armor & Weapon Stats:

How to read the stats:

Example I:
A value of AR: 140% Leather means that the armor set has 40% more AR than the leather armor set. The percentual increase is applied to each individual armor piece.

Example II:
A value of HEALTH: 90% Dwemer means that the armor set has 10% less item health points than the Dwemer armor set. The percentual decrease is applied to each individual armor piece.

Why not simply write the actual values? It's easy to write the numbers, but they don't mean anything to most players without the game being open. This way you have a quick reference point. I've used plain numbers for the clothing though, since they don't have AR or HEALTH. The REACH & SPEED stats of the weapons remain the norm for the specific weapon types as per vanilla Oblivion.

Any chance of a version which distributes these through the leveled lists? The armors are beautiful, but I can only wear one suit at once, so I need random bandits to make up for my own shortcomings (that could be the Lukewarm Diamond-Studded Steel-Painted-Purple in Like New Condition Edition )
