thanks

No worries; it's not always super obvious how they work if you haven't gotten into it a bit. The tools aren't too hard to use once you get familiar with them, but a lot of the time you would need additional programs on top of them for things like color or skin alterations or model changes. If you were considering actually pursuing it, there's tons of how-to's online, and a lot of them will have suggestions for free programs you can download to cover the things the Creation Kit can't do. It's a lot of work, but it's an awesome feeling to be able to create and share your ideas.

thanks for explaining, I only use mods i can't make them but I have tons of ideas for various equipment, followers and various other items

@RhinoRobb
Thanks for the comment! I've updated the mod description a bit (haven't touched this thing in years, it definitely needed some work) just to clarify a few things on the mod; to increase ease of use and to minimize compatibility issues, this mod was built as a stand-alone, and the armor added with it is specific to the mod. Any mods you get that alter armor will more than likely not be able to affect it unless they've intentionally included my mod in theirs. Armor has to be specifically targeted in a mesh-swap mod and a new mesh and skin has to be handmade for every piece included in it. So not only would they need to include my mod with theirs, but they would need to remake the skins I've made to fit their new mesh, because my skins are made specifically for the vanilla glass armor meshes.

TL;DR, for my mod to work with "Skimpy Armor", you'd need to ask the creator of that mod to basically remake my entire mod as part of theirs.

I completed the Chillrend Quest, found each of the pieces, the only thing I didn't like was that the helmet can't be worn with a circlet, the armor isn't sex for the females "Skimpy Armor", but other than that I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

@Chiropterror Thanks, was confused and cleared 3 dungeons lmao

@TimelessMilk51
As noted in the mod description, it's in the Sleeping Tree Camp cave; the Sleeping Tree Camp is a giant camp based around the Sleeping Tree, found in the central plains west of Whiterun. If you enter the camp from the road, the cave will be on your right before you actually reach the camp itself. Here's a Wiki link with more info; http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Sleeping_Tree_Camp

Which cave is it? I've been to orotheim, swindler's den, and broken fang cave.

aaa that's cool o w o

I Like This good Job I Will Keep This.

I have a problem. When I put the armor on, it has a whole bunch of gaps in it and I can't see any under armor. This also happens with regular glass armor. Can anyone help?

@CrackerJackerz
Hypothetically, yes it should be. I haven't done any testing though, and it looks like there may be more than one 'transparent glass armor' mod on the Nexus, so I can't really give you a definite.
But each piece of the armor in this mod has been created as it's own item; none of the original properties of base glass armor has been changed. So I doubt there would be any problems.

is this combinable with the nexus mod transparent glass armors?

thanks i found it

@Kailev-Tel
The helmet is actually inside the cave located at the camp. It's next to, but not in, the treasure chest in there. Have you checked there yet? I remember I had a placement glitch where it would bounce when you entered, but I'm very certain I fixed that before releasing the 'quest' update.

Anyone else having trouble finding the helmet? I haven't looked for the other ones yet but could someone please give the ids?

It looks badass. That's the main reason why I'm getting it. :3

@variadigital
The enchantments were based loosely on the Nightingale set. The whole set of armor was meant to be a bit of a tie-in with the Thieves' Guild, so I wanted it to work well as a replacement for the armor they offer. If it really bothers you that it doesn't do that, you could always enchant one of the blue glass helmets to do what you want and use it instead- there's no 'set bonus' that I can remember putting in, and they're identical in appearance.

To be honest why WHY whould you put fortify ILLUSION instead of freakin fortify FROST Chillrend illusion dosint make sense

in the pics how was you changing your race

That's Fine Chiropterror-I've seen a Blue Glass Sword of the Elements I think, but not a full set of weapons, which is what I was suggesting. If you need someone to test it after you get it up, pop me a message ok?

@ B2F
Y'know, I could've sworn someone already made a set that matched Chillrend's color, but after doing a quick search on here, I wasn't able to find it. It's been a while since I've actually done any modding, so I'm pretty rusty, but this is something I've thought about in the past.

If I did do it, though, it would be in a second mod, not added directly into this one.

How about blue glass weapons as well?

@Wolf Girl
I hadn't planned on putting it on the main armor, but any time you block with the shield, a Frost Cloak spell is activated until you lower it.

So, technically speaking, it's already there. ;D

This is a awsome Armor mod this definately going in my mods. althought i think it would be cool if the armor had some sort of frost cloak enchantment on it you know like the daedric ebony mail.

@kpackerm
I had thought about it, but ultimately decided not to; the point of this was to give 'vanilla' Skyrim some cooler armor. I'd have to either make a seperate mod or make this one require the Dragonborn DLC. I don't really have time to do the first, and I'd rather not do the second, since that would block people who don't have DB, which would be kind of unfair.

I'll keep it in mind as a supplementary mod, though, if I ever get the time to work on these.

Perhaps make this set craftable the same as glass armor but instead of using malachite, use Stalhrim?

should have higher frost rsistance and weaknes to fire

It would be great if you could add the the chill effect that is on the actual Chillrend weapon itself. The blade itself isn't frosted over like regular frost enchanted weapons. It has a subtle frost/mist comming off of it. It would be cool if you could get your armor to has the same effect of it since Chillrend itself doesn't really glow.

I hadn't actually done the Aetherium quest yet back when I made this, so that was an unintentional side affect of the color choice. I'm not complaining, though, since Aetherium is (in my opinion) asthetically superior to Glass. :P

@robloxyethan
I made copies of the original skin files that go on the models and just did some hue and contrast effects (coupled with a lot of erasing) in Photoshop. The tough part is gathering all of the external tools like Nifskope, an unpacking program, and the PS .dds pluggin. And by tough I just mean "I did a Google search and then BAM I'm a modder now."

how did you color it?? im new to modding and need some help

This looks like aetherium. and thanks for the armour i always wanted something like this

@[JM] p0rtalGeek
i agree with you

you know, it kinda looks like aetherium. just saying. Maybe it was created by the deep elves (dwemer) to combat the other elves in the war. It uses a mixture of Aetherium and glass. IDK what i'm doing here, but it fits nicely in with the dwemer theme doesn't it?

Thx

@ccims78
There's a cave with the camp called the Sleeping Tree Cave. It's northwest of the tree.

Whats the name of the cave when you said Sleeping Tree Camp(cave) because there is no cave?

@Chyannelane
I'm not sure I can help you with that one- that sounds like a main-game bug, not something caused by my mod. What stage of the TG questline are you on? Was this supposed to be your first time speaking with Brynjolf, to actually start the questline?

i cant get chillrend the sword for mercer freys house my theives guild is bugged and brylof or however you spell his name will just sit in the market place and say hmm

thanks

@Nodijo
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! :D

@Chyannelane
The armor is on a table in the section that marks the end of the "bandit" half of Raldbthar. When you reach the room with Alain and his cronies, there's a section behind a half-gate, half-table wall; it should be in here. If you start to see Dwarven spiders, you've gone too far in.

i searched the dwarven ruins for the chestplate twice and blackreach ounce plz tell me where it is I CANT FIND IT!!!!!

Totallly AWESOME!!! Excellent work with the color and all, thanks for creating and sharing it!

@jiung

go to a blacksmith, activate the crafting menu, look under blue glass armor.

taadaaaaahh, there it is ;)

@Jiung

Well, if you had actually read the description, you would have known that this was a crafted armor, not a found one. But, as I'm answering this late, and right after a major update, the NEW answer is now in the description. :P I suggest you read it this time.

If this armor is so cool why doesn't it tell where is is

where are the armors?

excellent work

ive been looking for a chillrend (and now the armor) that has the blue color but with bright silver sub color instead of that brassy color. but i cant find any... can u make one... it would make me turn one of my toons into a Chillrend knight... i might upload pictues also

As for the quest, I've been sketching out a few ways of doing it. While the 'where' is still up in the air, the 'how' and 'what' are pretty nailed down. I want the non-enchanted Blue Armor set to continue to be craftable, as it has the same 'cost' as Glass, meaning that it doesn't count as "cheating" while smithing. I feel like it's fairly reasonable. Though I may link the ability to craft it to a hidden perk attached to a book or note or something, just to make it a little harder to get? I'm not sure.

The enchanted set will, at some point, be one of a kind, and gained through a quest. The quest may just turn out to be a book with locations, but eh. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. I'm still learning the quest tools.

But yeah, short version? Blue will be craftable, Chill will be one-of-a-kind, tempered with Frost Salts. That seems fair to me.
