... I hate the Thalmor (see the mod Helgen Reborn) but I love the robes.
Woe.

I actually like the Archmage robes with their genuine Nordic characteristics. But the idea of Thalmor or Psjic robes are almost inspirational for an alternate game if not roleplay.

Thalmor can't be Archmage.

Where do you get this HAIRSTYLE???????? Please tell me.

NP, and I actually have never extracted textures at all. GIMP was just a guess, but you are probably better of with tutorials on the Nexus Skyrim forums as I said :P

Yeah I've downloaded all the tools, but can't figure out how to open this in GIMP.. lol. I see the model but can't mess with it's color to make it a believeable black. Not sure how you are doing this, but wish I could do it. Anyway thanks for your help very much.

So you actually have the bsa extracted and everything? To edit the texture, I'd theoretically open it in GIMP. Considering I've never successfully unpacked textures/models before, that's the extent of my knowledge. Sorry :/ But the Skyrim Nexus forums are indeed your best bet for help.

If you can make black Mythic Dawn robes I will promote this mod through mine "Volkihar Castle Redux" and go a step further and make the head high priest of Molag Bal's name "Azeal"... for an added cookie and credt in game. Of course I'd list you as a contributor as well.

If you look here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2761 the guy says he didnt do modeling, he just took the file and changed saturation.. and I quote:
"i'm no modder or designer (or anything at all actually) all I did is open pse and use the "reduce light" + "reduce saturation" to the texture file, this doesn't even deserve a "thanks"!!!" I can't figure out how to open the texture file, but I figured you might know how.

wait what. Very random.

I do not do retextures; I have next to no artistic talent. I'd find someone who does and ask there. If you have the textures, I could probably do the rest.

Side note, I may make a Dragonborn edition for the Telvanni and Tribunal priest robes. Cuz I am playing a mage as my current char, and they are awesome.

Can you make the Mythic Dawn robes in black?

Your best best is to look for help on the Skyrim nexus forums, as this is probably a compatibility issue, and idk the solution.

It doesnt work thats all....

I meant internet downloads, not just nexus ones. The files crash your game when you launch you mean? That might just be incompatible mods....

The only downloads that work are on steam,but nexus crashes my game and crap.

? The webpage won't? There should be a link "download manually", although you might need an account due to file size. Do any other downloads work?

Nexus wont let me download it proporly,it always crashes even if i do what it tells me...

Well it used to be on steam. What do you mean they crash it? Have you tried installing manually?

D: nexus mods crash my game...do you know the author or do i half to do something else?

Apachii Skyhair. I got it from Skyrim Nexus because there are more options, but I think it's also on Steam workshop.

What hair mod are you using?

Oh well it seems we both had a similar idea. I did it via recipes and some different styles, but basically we did the same ^^

Awesome. Resubbing right now.

Okay, I updated the mod to fix the magicka/circlet issue.
As far as the hair, that was Apachii Skyhair. Idk which face model I was using at the time; I've used a lot.

Nice mod. However you are missing the plus 50 magika on all the items. Please fix or take your mod off the site! the robes DO NOT have the original vanilla enchantment>

Very nice idea. I wear the archmage robes myself, and have often wished they weren't so ugly, though I like that they are unique. Two good points have been made, though. If you could make the hooded robes allow for wearing a circlet (as the original archmage robes do), and make their stats include the magicka bonus on the original robes, the alternatives would be a little more comparable to the original.

The robes' stats are not equal to the original Archmage robe. Can you fix that?

Just click subscribe; the launcher downloads and installs automatically.

God I am a noob.......I dont see what to click on to download the file.......

>.> wow so much feedback for a mod I spent all of maybe an hour making and testing.
I'm not entirely sure what face mod I was using, probably from skyrim nexus though. The hairstyle is in Apache's Skyhairs, found on skyrim nexus.

The enchantment I used is the one used in Vanilla for the archmage robes...... as for the hooded robes, there are mods that allow circlets to be worn with all hooded robes; I have one installed myself.

Also, Thalmor robes look bamf. That's why I added 'em.

where did you get your hair mode?

what face mod are you using

Only problem I've seen with these is that the vanilla hooded archmage robes give +50 Magicka and these do not. Isn't a problem for the Psijic and unhooded Thalmor robes but as hooded robes take away the ability to wear a hood its a small issue. Also my favorite benefit of archmage robes is you can wear circlets with the hoods and all the hooded robes here take up the circlet slot as well.

@Bear. Bro... you're the one who doesn't make any sense. Your extremely communist and narrow-minded upbringing has caused your imagination to fail at seeing the whole picture. What if the player's character is intended to be an evil thalmor? What if he just likes their style and feels liek wearing it? Think on that.

Dress as thalmor?.. Oh yeah the evil ones who we tried to stop oh ok... sense, this mod makes none.

he looks like harry potter

This is really great! Thankyou! Along with single crafting set mods, it sits very well.

Armors are about 1/3 done.
