Retex: Age of Empire by Jacknifelee
Retex by Eleneith
These sort of dresses are generally not in my game. However, I like to install them to try, to take screenshots or simply to watch how they react in my game.
And I admit that the result is very nice in game. They bring a very feminine touch with a high elegance. I like.
This mod is a Classic and, according to the Nexus, a lot of players like and tried the mod. So, you surely don't discover it today, but an UUNP bodyslide is available, so it deserves to be on my blog.
Let's start with the bodyslide, meshes and content.
It is complete and all parts are unified. As you can see, dresses are not alone and you'll acquire several accessories as well:
- a belt
- a bracelet
- sandals
- a circlet
- and sleeves
All this mix is very good and the global spirit is strong. I believe that we can tell that it is lore-friendly. It fits very well to the game.
The original mod has also an optional version to directly include them to the game as replacement.
In my case, I used the full standalone version. I always have a preference for the unique content.
The circlet looks good with a lot of haircuts. The use is not limited and I like that.
The heart of the mod is of course the dresses.
2 main versions are available: short and long.
The long version is very elegant while the short one looks more casual. Make your own choice my friend. Both version are in the bodyslide and both are available in the same time in game.
The bodyslide is very good and does the job. The chest is also perfect whatever your body size. Even Lorelei's petite body.
Like all dress mod, you may have clippings with legs during animations or poses. I also had strong clippings on buttock.
Well, the full bodyslide is very decent and you'll be satisfied.
Now, let's speak about textures:
Original textures are very simple. Colors are solid (plain). Black/ white/ red or blue. It's a 2K. However, they look great in game. On a 4K resolution, we feel some weaknesses, but for the standard 1080p, it's really enough.
The added value of the mod is the color variation of accessories like the circlet or sandals. Different textures for different materials (gold, silver, brown and more).
It's up to you to select this color according to the dress. It's a free choice.
The second added value are the optional textures....and especially the Age of Empire version by Jacknifelee. All the pack is retextured and dresses just become better. You really become a noblewoman. Special mention for the blue and the white/gold version.
2 additional retex are also available... by Elaneith. Looks cool too tho less imposing and less polished than the Age of Empire version.
Well, Just my own feeling. The most important is that you have choice. You just have to overwrite original textures with the optional of your choice.
However, if you want simple dresses, just stay with original textures.
Conclusion:
A good global mod and your girl will have style and nobility. Accessories and optional textures bring a lot to the mod and they simply improve it.
Combined with a correct bodyslide, you have good reasons to download the original mod and the UUNP bodyslide (by Nekomata17).
For those who like dresses, for screenarchers and of course for story tellers.

Lovely! I do like the classic things.
ReplyDeleteGreat...I know you like the classic stuff. This one is. It's important to integrate these notes about "classic" , "oldies" or new stuff.
DeleteSkyrim is a mature game and Mods was created since 8 years. So, they are differences.
Thanks Syl.
