Blades Samurai Armour and Kimonos - by 0prime0 (Prime).
This mod adds a variety of standalone samurai-themed armours, kimonos, and weapons for all genders and races. As it is gear intended for the Blades it aims to be as lore friendly as possible, but it should be useful for any melee focused character who wishes to emulate a samurai archetype.

==============
Enter Chu Mountain via the blue column of light in the mountains near Riverwood Town to the South. This Mod uses Chinese/Japanese/Asian conceptual ideas and culture.
Visit Zhou Town near the Jade/Iron Mines (The town has Merchants and an Inn).
Join either the Samurai or the Ninja via Doomstones, and select to be removed if needed (this will not work when either party is aggravated or in attack mode). Both selections gives keys to either the Shogunite Temple to the North West or the Secret Ninja Base to the Far East. Samurai/Ninja armor is not playable at present (It will cause a CTD if worn by the Player). Samurai will attack Ninja, and Ninja will attack Samurai (Factions). Samurai have red armor, Ninja have blue armor. Collect Combat Gems from Ninja or Samurai to sell for 1000 gold each at either Headquarters or base.
Visit Machi Town towards the beach. There are some houses, a Dojo training room, a Bath House, an Inn, the Hall of Justice, some Shrines, Guards, and Followers. Cuisine includes: Spicy Fried Beef, Rice Bowls (harvested from Rice plants), Sushi, Sake, Green Tea, Fried Egg, Salad, Plum soup, Dim Sum, Sashimi, and Sweet/Sour Chicken. Weapons include Quarter-staff, 3 types of Sword, Exploding Arrows (3 types), and Spear. Enter the Awabi Inn for Quest (be sure to collect the Key from the Quest).
Visit Japan Town in the hills near the Beach, or Jade Town entrance (blue column; to Shogunite Temple). Buy a Stronghold for 30,000 Gold (with Japanese Garden) near Machi Town. There are Followers/Companions scattered throughout the Mod. Use The Art of War spell with Army spell for best results. Added are Martial Arts Spell Tomes sold by Merchants. (Press "E" to access cows, chickens or wild dogs inventory)

Known Bugs:
===========
1. http://www.gamesas.com/crash-when-trying-unequip-clothesarmor-t352583.html
Game seems to CTD after wearing NPC outfits. Probably because of Samurai Armor Mod has missing files? This didn't exist with New World Mod Resource. This occurs with any modified armor worn by NPCs. So I set these to "unplayable."
2. Guards or NPCs walking under floor or in weird positions in Towns. Probably caused by Navmesh issues.
3. Factions will attack Player after aggro following entering an opposing Faction while soldiers are violent. Player needs to change factions prior to attacking opposing Faction (Ninja/Samurai).
