There's a ton of stuff to do in Skyrim's base game, and players have all the freedom they could ask for to play the game the way they want to. But when you add mods into the mix, the possibilities really do become endless.
Mods add all kinds of things to the game -- more weapons, graphical updates, extra quests, new areas, and more. Among the more helpful of these mods are armor mods, which add new armor sets or change existing armor. Whether it's new rings to boost your magical power or a never-before-seen armor sets made from strange materials, these mods have a lot to offer players.
If you're an Xbox One player, uncovering good armor mods can be a little bit more difficult than it is for PC players. So we've rounded up the best armor mods that are available in the Skyrim mod marketplace for Xbox One.
Ring of Advanced Carry Weight
This mod gives you access to two rings -- one that adds 1,000 points of carry weight to your character, and another that adds 1,000,000. These rings will make it so your character is able to carry more weight in their inventory.
This mod should be usable with almost any mod except for those that change the inventory of Belethor in Whiterun, since you have to buy the item from him.
Zerofrost Mythical Armor 1: Nightingale Prime Remastered
This mod will add a new set of armor that you can get once you become a part of the inner circle of the Thieves' Guild, The Nightingales. This armor will work for both male and female characters.
To get this armor you can either obtain it from a chest near the entrance of the Nightingale Hall, or you can craft it. However, in order to craft it you will need a piece of the original Nightingale armor.
Rough Leather Armor
This mod will add new leather armor to the game -- including body armor, boots, gloves, and hoods. This armor can be crafted if the player has the advanced armor perk. If the player does not have the advanced armor perk, they can still purchase the armor from Balimund from Riften.
Royal Daedric Armor and Weapons
This mod will add many new Daedric style armor and weapons to the game. These can only be crafted at the Skyforge in Whiterun. In order to create them at the forge, the player will need the Daedric armor perk.
The armor can work on both men and women.
Ashara Newermind's Elven Archer Armor Revisited
This mod will add new versions of Newermin's elven armor. These newer versions include different color options, compatibility with weapon sheath mods, and a change of the weapon distance to the player so the weapon would not float.
This armor can be crafted at any forge, but is only available for females.
Horses Wear Armor
Unlike the other mods, this mod is not for the player -- but for their mounts.
This mod adds various armors for the horses in Skyrim. It will not work with any horse retexture mods, though, so be aware of that before you download. Depending on which armor you choose, it's strong enough that your horse could become near-invulnerable with extremely high health.
Darth Vader
This mod will add a set of armor that looks just like Darth Vader's getup in Star Wars. It also includes a craftable light saber that can be created without any perks or materials. The helmet has three pieces, and the mask includes a breathing sound as well.
Resumen del nuevo testamento. This mod is for males only.

That wraps up our list of the best armor mods for Skyrim on Xbox One! If there are any other good mods that you think should be included on this list, let us know down in the comments! And be sure to check out the rest of our Skyrim mods to further enhance your adventuring experience:
Published Aug. 22nd 2017
By Jon RyanCk2 coat of arms. Overhauling a game with mods can be an intimidating process, but the only thing you really need in order to make Skyrim shine is patience. Since each mod needs to be properly installed and configured, it can take hours to get everything in working order - certain methods of beautifying the game, such as S.T.E.P., or the Skyrim Total Enhancement Project, have been known to take as long as eight to ten hours to fully configure. Rather than force you, dear modder, to spend those precious hours that could be better used actually playing Skyrim, here is our list of the 15 (and then some) best mods to use that will drastically improve your adventurous experience.
You can read about all the mods below, or watch the video above (complete with plenty of heavily-modded Skyrim eye-candy).
Let There be Light
Installing Boris Voronstov's ENBseries modification and configuring it is actually far simpler than one would expect - simply download the necessary files and copy them into your main Skyrim game folder ( if you're using Steam, this is usually C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim ), and then run the game and configure your own personal settings. You can also download a preset created by a member of the community. The one we've used is by Nexus member Opethfeldt, though other excellent choices would be RealVision or Seasons of Skyrim.
Once you've gotten your ENB set up and have begun installing your other modifications, consider also adding a lighting mod or two (if they're compatible) that will enhance the local light sources in-game - torches, lanters, candles and so on. We're using Enhanced Lights and FX by NM user anamorfus alongside Ultimate HD Fire Effects.
What a Wonderful World
Once you've installed your ENB and preset of choice, then the real work begins. There are hundreds of texture mods and updates for flora, fauna, armor, weapons and more that players can choose to include in their game, but here are our recommendations for must-have mods when trying to make Skyrim look beautiful:
- Skyrim HD: Replaces standard game textures with 2K-4K textures. Lite version includes 1K textures.
- Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM): Updates static textures and meshes (furniture, rubble, buildings, etc)
- Lush Trees and Grass: Updates and greatly improves the quality and fullness of forested areas in Skyrim.
- Grass Field: Replaces most of the ground area textures with 3D grass.
There are many other mods that affect the game world's plant life - Glorious Grasses, SkyRealism and Vurt's Flora Overhaul are all great, but if you can only run two we recommend LT and GF, as they look best during actual gameplay. For quality visuals at a distance, be sure to install one of the many distant LOD (Level Of Detail) mods, such as Enhanced Distant Terrain, HD Enhanced Terrain or the Skyrim Distance Overhaul. Additionally, be sure to install a water mod to ensure you aren't stuck swimming around the boring vanilla rivers - we're using Pure Waters, though the Water and Terrain Enhancement Redux (WATER) is another excellent option.
Beautiful People
The NPCs in standard Skyrim look.. well, a bit off. Giving them a hearty facelift is somewhat of a necessity if you're attempting to update the game graphically - and can be one of the most challenging aspects of your mod configuration. Dozens of plugins and texture packs (some are NSFW) exist to do just this, and many are compatible with other mods. In our configuration, we're using the Xenius Character Enhancement (XCE) mod coupled with No More Blocky Faces, which smooths out the originally pixelated facial textures. We're also using Xenius's Better Beast Races, which overhauls the look of the Argonian and Khajiit characters ( though we also recommend using CoverKhajiits) to improve the nonhuman models. To spruce up the human characters, we've installed Better Females by BellaGail, as well as some various face texture and mesh replacers for the male NPCs, such as Detailed Faces and Beards.
These are far from the only mods out there to be used in the beautification of Skyrim - remember, patience is the only necessary component to making this game look great. Well, patience.. Free igo primo usa maps. and the literally hundreds, if not thousands, of mods that are at your disposal.

Any graphical mods you can't adventure around Skyrim without? Let us know in the comments!
Jon Ryan spends more time modding Skyrim than actually playing it. Don't be like him - but do follow him on IGN and Twitter.
Modders are an amazing bunch of folks. For nearly 25 years now, impassioned gamers have taken to the creative side of the spectrum, making custom content ranging from updated graphical overhauls, to new weapons, characters, and sometimes, a whole new game's worth of content. This is all well and good, modding can prolong the life of a game indefinitely — hence why more than a few people still play Skyrim pretty much exclusively six years after its release. Apart from upgraded textures and new weapons, there is another, seedier side to modding.
Skyrim is one of the games that has one of the most mods available for it, and a healthy number of those are related to the sensual shade of things. Naked characters, customizable bathing suit parts, and sizzlingly characters are just a few of what an interested gamer can expect to find in the annals of modding websites. Literally, anything you could think of has been done in multiple versions for every race, gender, and class. So hide the kids, lock your doors, and bring your stash of censor bars. We're about to get into the 'adult' underbelly of Skyrim modding.

15 A Tempting New Race
Companions become a large part of Skyrim as soon as you start recruiting them, they can carry additional loot, help in the heat of battle, and offer some banter on the lonely trail. Plus, who else is going to annoyingly stand in the doorway when the Dovahkiin is trying to get through?
The Temptress Race mod allows the use of a custom race of Temptresses, females blessed by the goddess Dibella, able to use their seductively good looks to control the flow of combat. They’re able to use their own seductive brand of spells that can calm or frenzy all nearby foes. Interested players can play as one of the pre-made Temptresses, or find them around the game world hanging out in temples to recruit.
14 Why Won't It Load Slower!?
The load screens in Skyrim can become a constant companion, especially if you’re playing on consoles. Most of the loading screens offer helpful tips and a closer look at enemies or items in the game world, which are able to be observed in more detail while you’re waiting for the next dungeon to load. After awhile, these load screens can become seriously stale and an excuse to check text messages or take a bathroom break. Gamers may find it a bit harder to leave when all the loading screens have been replaced with 'adult' scenes inspired by the busty ladies of Skyrim.
There are multiple versions of this mod so once all these scenes get used up, gamers can download a new one and spend most of their playtime entering and exiting the same building over and over again to catch a glimpse of these expertly crafted 'mature' content.

13 A Tale Of Two 'Mature' Sisters
Mods that add new followers to Skyrim number in the thousands; from magic wielding anime characters to arrow shooting Macho Man Randy Savages, there is no shortage of new and unique companions to choose from when adventuring across Skyrim. The hottest has to be the Sisters of Battle mod that drops two of the most professionally designed companions seen in a mod right into the game world.
Featuring two horned twin sisters, Dallas and Xevaria, they were both imbued with different types of creature blood that grant them unique abilities that aid in combat. Dallas is able to cast powerful frost and fire spells, while Xevaria possesses massive strength and the ability to summon spirit wolves. Worthy companions in battle, and not bad to look at either, these twin sisters should accompany every Dovahkiin at least once.
12 Chainmail Is So In This Year
The Obligatory Chainmail Bikini mod is one of the most well known Skyrim mods that adds a custom chainmail swimsuit for female characters. How much protection would a chainmail bikini really offer when fighting a frost troll? Not much, but the heroine wearing it is going to be a complete bombshell while she tries her best to ward off those incredibly powerful troll claws.
Although probably pretty basic compared to most of the other mods out there, the chainmail bikini is mandatory for any female adventurer in Skyrim. In a fantasy game filled with dragons, elves, and magic, there are a few things that can be as implied as a chainmail swimsuit. Don’t try and go swimming with this thing on though, chain mail tends to be a bit heavy when trying to stay buoyant.

11 The One That Made It All Possible
Are you tired of the same old wooden looking women walking around Skyrim? The one that started it all, Calientes Beautiful Bodies Edition replaces the vanilla female body in Skyrim with more voluptuous options. The mod comes with three pre-made options, including slim, vanilla, and curvy.
A lot of love went into this mod, as the resolutions of the bodies included in CBBE are twice what they are in the regular Skyrim female body. This one really opened the door for every other naughty Skyrim mod out there and has been downloaded over eleven million times to date. CBBE is used in conjunction with a lot of the other mods on this list, so if you’re planning on having heavy chested Nords walking around Skyrim, and doing questionable things with them, CBBE is a must.
10 I Don't Know How They Don't Get Cold
Appearing just a couple months after Skyrim was released, modders were already making everybody get butt nekked.’ The female mod makes all the races nude, meaning that players have to be prepared to accept the horror of naked Argonians and Khajits, not to mention Orcs. Although, I’m sure there is a group of people out there who are really into that.
The nude female mod seems to have been part of some serious self-realization for modder Davven, as the first sentence in the description for the mod is, “I decided to accept I am a nude modder and finished the job.” Jesus, what happened to you Davven? The nude male mod buffs up and disrobes all male characters in the game world, and claims to make them “hairless and dirtless.” How dirty were they before? Some people have way too much time to think about these things.

9 Slide To The Left, Slide To The Right!
The Body Slide mod is probably the most used in conjunction with CBBE, due to the fact that it lets gamers alter whatever physical attributes on their characters through the manipulation of sliders. This means that chests and rumps can be large to the point of handicapping a normal person, but this is the Dovahkiin dammit; toddler-sized breasts are not going to slow down the Dragonborn!
The really amazing thing about the Body Slide mod is that countless players have spent hours tinkering with the sliders to create preset body types that can be downloaded on their own, meaning that adventurers can make voluptuous Nord women populate every city, or petite, sporty Khajit ladies a reality. The only real handicap is your own imagination, meaning that whatever type of body you’re into it can be made with a little bit of tinkering, or a quick download.
8 Those Hips Could Sink Ships
The normal walk for female characters in the world of Skyrim is about as hot as a bag of cement. Stiff legs give way to a wooden gate that completely destroys the allure of any woman gamers may have had their eye on (to a point, at least). If you don’t want the females of Skyrim to walk like awkwardly animated mannequins anymore, this mod is for you.
The FNIS Sexy Move mod will randomly select 1 out of 9 different sexy walk or run animations for any female the Dovahkiin comes across in the game world. That is a seriously impressive piece of modding that must have taken some heartfelt work to get right. There is no limit to the dedication that modders will put into their work, especially when it comes to making female NPCs walk like their hips were both dislocated.

7 Junk In The Trunk
Ever look around at the rumps in Skyrim and wonder how in the nine divines that every citizen was blessed with a serious pancake butt? Seriously, these people spend most of their days walking around, fighting monsters, and standing in one place, how can their posteriors be so inferior? Worry no more, as this butt bounce mod will add sufficient viscosity to both those cheeks.
Most players play Skyrim and marvel at the huge environment to explore, a deep world to get lost in, and masses of loot to collect. Others take a serious waist high look around and wonder how to make butts juggle like they were water balloons filled with Jell-O. Needless to say, the ingenuity of man will never cease, especially when it comes to butts.
6 Vampires You Can Sink Your Teeth Into
The vampires in the Elder Scrolls games have always offered a darker, more realistic take on the disease as opposed to other games and forms of media. No sparkle trails here —Vampirism twists and tortures the carrier, making them a nocturnal killing machine that needs to feed on the helpless sleeping citizens of Skyrim. With that morose view on vampires comes an adequately twisted physical component; any character that has contracted vampirism ages prematurely, turns pale, and is beset with glowing red eyes.
Unless you have the Seductress Serena mod, which changes Skyrim’s vampire NPCs from ghastly to gorgeous, all with a quick install. The mod adds vampire followers and tweaks Serena, the blood-sucking companion from the Dawnguard DLC, allowing her to be aesthetically customizable. In addition, it makes them all around easier to look at.

5 The Dovahkiin Gets Freaky
This mod promises “intimacy, romance,' and 'adult activities' for any player that walks through the world of Skyrim disregarding the story, combat, and dragons, and simply wonders, “Why can’t I boink all these people?” Well, wonder no more Dovahkiin, now you can with nexusmods’ mod of the month for September 2015.
This mod allows multiple actions and options for the 'curious' adventurer, allowing most NPCs to be roped into promiscuous acts with a few simple menu commands or spells. The mod is so popular that a half hour movie was made to showcase all the glorious scenarios made possible with installation. This is one of hundreds of mods that allow this type of behavior in game, with some of the options in the 'mature' library leaning towards the extreme.
4 Wetter Is Better
With all the hot mods in the universe, the Dovahkiin is still going to be dry as a saltine. With the Sporty Sexy Sweat mod, female Skyrim heroes will be constantly sweating, dashing any comparisons to the dust bowl any sharp tongued Dwenmer may make.
The mod was made in order to, “enhance the realism .. and all the fine details of the skin.” Adding a glossy sheen of sweat to any female character definitely enhances the realism; anyone who could throw around an ebony war hammer without breaking a sweat is definitely not human. How it enhances the details and attractiveness of the skin remains to be seen, however — a chick sweating can be hot, but all the time? If you’re traversing the snowy peaks of Skyrim, it’d be a tad bit alarming to be pouring sweat the whole time.

3 The Unmentionables Outlet
The Lingerie Shop, used in conjunction with the curvaceous character models of the CBBE mod, provides 40 different types of Lingerie to deck your female characters out in. Consisting of a storefront called Nikitaa’s Lingerie in Solitude, the shop comes with its own clerk and is adorned with several banners of real life ladies in lingerie. Apart from the extensive selection of ladies unmentionables, each piece of Lingerie has different effects on a models body, including a “push up” effect for larger chested Dovahkiin.
Reddit Best Skyrim Mods
While it’s impressive to watch a beautiful woman decked out in heavy armor down a dragon or clear out an ancient crypt of pesky Draugr, it doesn’t compare to the complete chaos of a curvy sorceress casting devastating spells in her undergarments.
2 Daggers And Long Swords
Who said that the ladies don’t get a say in the modding community? SOS is a mod that allows gamers to adjust the size of male characters uh…”swords.” The mod also comes with its own shop front where a variety of different dongs that can be purchased.
To be clear, these are flaccid, so remember to pick up a “Mandrake potion” that will wake even the most stubborn Johnson to full attention at the new shop Morning Wood run by Bjorn LongSword. You’re able to buy potions that let you pick from three different load outs, and various types of bottled creature semen that will either enlarge or shrink your little Dovahkiin. 21 different package-accentuating pairs of undies are also available for purchase, meaning that no Nord is safe from your adventurer's bulge.

1 Maids And Pretty Much A Whole Game's Worth Of Content
Maids II: Deception is a sequel to the Oblivion mod Maids I: Euphoria, bringing hot home cleaning services to Skyrim. The result of a convoluted backstory involving the enslaving of women in Oblivion by using enchanted Hist Tree’s Sap, the last two descendants of the enslaved maid family are hiding out in Skyrim, ready to clean the crap out of some houses. At first glance, it seems like a scantily clad maid simulator but it is so much more than that.
Maids II: Deception is packed full of game changing features, including 17 main quests with additional side quests, 13,000 new lines of dialogue, a tropical Dwarven island, two new houses, a manageable brothel with its own economy…the list goes on. Of course, it also involves attractive maids that can be dressed up and pursued romantically, but that seems to pale in comparison to the other amazing features in this outstanding mod.
