Skyrim Cosmetic Armor Slot

1. Are there any mods for 'cosmetic' armor slots? (bump from /u/p0rtalplayer) Terraria has this nice feature where you can get all the armor bonuses from a certain set of armor, and then wear other clothes 'on top' of that to make your character look the way you want, like this.
2. Here's the list of body slots that you can use, as well as the unofficial convention for what should be equipped on each slot. Also, if using TES5Edit 3.0.31 (which is the current version on nexus), the slot names won't match those in the list, so just know that the last body part on the list in TES5Edit corresponds to slot 61, and work your.
3. Removed the left over clutter from whiterun that caused clipping with mods like JK's Skyrim. Dwemer crafting book will no longer be marked as stolen - Added SOSRevealing keyword to all armors using slot 32 in order to fix naked males bug. Important note, this fix will require a new save game.

Setting the body slot in Skyrim

In Skyrim you need to set the body slot used by a piece or armour in two places:

• In the Dismemberment data of the nif file
• In the Armor addon and Armor items in the Creation Kit

IMPORTANT: The body slot you set in the nif file and in the CK must be the same, or your armour will be invisible in game.

Required tools

• Nifskope: latest NifSkope version.
• Creation Kit: available on Steam (Menu option View -> Tools and then select Creation Kit)
