Description
This mod add the Princes of the Woods light armours (male and female) to Skyrim. The armour is composed of 17 different pieces, 6 fur complements plus a wig for the hood that can be created at any normal forge and are found under the Studded section (I’ve changed the section where items are shown from Leather to Studded as the Leather one is really crowded in my game). All pieces are upgradable at workbenches and fully enchantable.
The ratings for Bodice, Boots and Bracers are those of Dragonscale armour except the weight that is the one of the elven armour.
The armour comes in 6 different colours: Green, Brown, Black, White, Red and Olive.
The fur complements come in 3 colours: Brown, Black and White.
There is a wig for the hood changes colour with your character’s hair colour. This only works on the player, so it is called “POTW Wig – Player”. The ability of the wig to keep the colour when unequipping/equipping it or when exiting Skyrim completely and loading a saved game, it is managed through scripts that require SKSE version 1.6.16 or higher. The scripts work for vanilla hair colours and custom hair colours added by the RaceMenu mod. If you don’t use SKSE or use an older version, when the wig looses its hair colour use the showracemenu console command to set your character’s hair colour again and that will fix the wig’s colour.
There are also other 8 wigs that have a fixed colour, intended for followers or other NPCs.
This makes a total of 123 new items (provided I counted them correctly) added to the game. You can combine the pieces of the different colours.
The “Trousers (body slot)” item displays the trousers on your character (and also a bra for females), and uses the body slot.This means this item cannot be equipped at the same time than the cuirass/bodice, but it allows male characters to wear only the trousers without the cuirass and look good 😉

Incompatibility
None that I am aware of. If you find anything, please tell me.
Known issues or bugs
There is some clipping in some poses.
The cuirass mesh has a lot of polygons, so it may cause lag in some computers.
The wig and hood now are visible when equipped by beast races, but they may clip as their head has a different shape than the human head.
The scripts for the player’s wig work for vanilla hair colours and custom colours added by the Race Menu mod by Expired. If you are using custom hair colours added by another mod they may not work (I just don’t know).
If you find anything else, please tell me.

Permissions
You can reuse any part of this mod into your own mod but all I ask in return is that you give me credit if you distribute any part of this mod and only if it is for free.
If you want to reuse the bra, pants, stockings or trousers you must credit Dimon too and release your mod on Nexus.
If you want to reuse the female wigs you must credit zzjay, PeggyZone and LaughingVampire too.
If you want to reuse the male wigs you must ask Apachii first and credit her and Peggysims if granted permission.
You cannot port the scabbard, the dagger and the fur complements (bracers, boots, collar and skirt) meshes/textures into another game as those objects are part of vanilla Skyrim.
