Witcher 2 Style Heavy Plate (Replacer)

Description
This replaces the vanilla Steel Plate armour with a mesh and texture edit of L0rd0fWar's excellent Witcher 2 Heavy Plate armours and includes improved textures and normal maps to give it a 'worn' appearance in-game.

** After a full re-installation, Steam Workshop refused to sync with my old files and as a result I was unable to upload anything to my original Mods, forcing me to delete them and re-upload again from scratch. Sorry for the inconvenience **

This version doesn't need the Dawnguard DLC in order to work.

Many thanks to L0rd0fWar for his excellent work in porting over the base meshes and textures from Witcher 2.

*** Before updating to a new version please uninstall and remove older files completely before installing the new ones to avoid any crashes and/or anomalies... You have been warned!! ***

Changes:-
1.01
* Fixed some clipping issues with the wrists when using bare hands.
* Reduced clipping with the ankles.

1.00
* Added Female meshes to both armour sets.

0.85
* Fixed Cuirass ground meshes.
* Added a new Sallet which competely covers and obscures the face with a bevor and a narrowed eye-slit; which now allows it to be used

by the beast races.
* Added Nifskope friendly meshes for those who wish to edit/change the textures.
* Streamlined the textures used by each file to make it more efficient and reduce the overall file size.

With 0.80 & 0.81
* Textures and normal maps have been edited to give both armour sets a more 'worn' appearance.
* Removed the Witcher 2 faction emblems and plate neck defence.
* Fixed some minor issues with helm width, tasset and knee rigging.

Known issues/bugs:-
* Some slight bleed-through and clipping at the ankles when using bare feet.

No idea sorry, neither I nor anyone else that I'm aware of has had this issue come up before, but if it's happening even when this mod is uninstalled it seems to suggest that something else is causing it; all this particular mod does is tell the game to use the included meshes and textures instead of the original steel plate ones.

The only suggestion I have is to try uninstalling and reinstalling any mods that make any changes to the base game, especially armours, to see if any of those resolve the issue.

So I'm having an issue where equipping the steel plate helmet causes the entire head to disappear. The helmet still appears fine in inventory, but the helmet stays invisible, even when the replacer mod is uninstalled now. Any help?

I'd like to replace all the armours in game with witcher style armours since they look a lot more realistic

How can i create it?

you are right. My attention went to the helmet in first place;)

Not really, if you look at it closely you'll notice that it's a mixture of both Gothic and Milanese armour with some fantasy elements added to it... Check out the boots and pauldrons (you'll not see anything shaped like that in our own history)... The base mesh was made for the game Witcher 2 and ported over by LordofWar.
