Craftable Thalmor Standalone - Black and Gold Equipment with Masked helm - Created by JulianP, with alterations made by Vinifera7 and Shodan44.

This mod replaces thalmor armor and weapons with my Black and Gold equipment textures and masked helms (beast races included!) while leaving the regular elven armor and weapons untouched, as well as adding new crafting recipes for Thalmor armor and weapons. Optional plugins included for Non-Thalmor equipped, Maskless thalmor, and older save game compatibility. See readme located in the optional plugins folder.

Crafting Thalmor weapons requires the perk "elven smithing" and crafting thalmor armor requires the perk "advanced armors". The Thalmor Armor has an armor rating that is better than elven but worse than glass, and the Thalmor weapons have the same damage as elven weapons, but are slightly faster and costlier to craft and upgrade. Both masked and maskless versions of the thalmor helmet are craftable. Thalmor armor is listed under the "Steel" category and Thalmor weapons are listed under the "Elven" category.

Credit goes to JulianP for creating this standalone version, and Vinifera7 for bugfixing! Please give them a big thanks for their hard work. :)

Only known issues:
- A small amount of stubborn Thalmor may continue to use their old armor (Or possibly go naked!). This issue should only appear on old saved games, while new games should show all thalmor dressed in their appropriate attire. If you are upgrading from an older version of this mod and you experience this issue, try using the "OLD" plugin in the optional plugin folder.
- The Thalmor Shield displays the incorrect texture in the inventory screen.

Installation:
-------------

Copy the "meshes" and "textures" folders to your Skyrim Data folder.

Copy "ThalmorStandalone.esp" to your Skyrim data folder -OR- Choose one of the ESP files located in the "Optional Plugins" Folder. See the Readme located in the optional plugins folder for more information.

Run the launcher and make sure "ThalmorStandalone.esp" is selected in the Data files list.

If you haven't enabled data files already the option will be greyed out. To enable data files go to to the folder "Users/*yourname*/My Documents/MyGames/Skyrim" and look for the file "SkyrimPrefs.ini". Open it and find the "[Launcher]" section. Under that section, put the line "bEnableFileSelection=1" and save the file. The option should no longer be greyed out.



OPTIONAL: Copy the "meshes" folder located in the "Suck in that gut" folder to your Skyrim data folder if you would like thalmor male armor to show a smaller gut. See the image posted on the mod's Nexus page for a preview.
