Are there any good light / (especially) leather armor override mods apart from Realistic Armors Project and Rashi’s? I.e., armors that replace the vanilla resources (even a good rescale/resize of the original 512 x 512 is fine, really. Mine does not look so good. 
)?
I suppose you know about Xaltar’s work? Armor Facelift Mod | The Neverwinter Vault

hehe, AND Xaltar’s, yes… of course I forgot that, sorry. 
Xaltar does however not do much about the leather armors apart from the warlock robe, it seems - that’s probably why I forgot about that.
Those two are the only ones I know of that overrides the standard armors. However, there are loads of outfits from Jude, Morgoth, LivT and others. Maybe you find some you like and then you can use MDB Cloner to override the standard armors with yourself.

Or you can ask Morgoth on Discord directly. Morgoth is very active there and have loads of armors.

Thanks again, I’ve seen all these and decided I did not want to use them in my campaign (that folder is big enough already 
) but I COULD try and use them locally, only for my own playthrouhgs… Unfortunately, I haven’t used MDB Cloner for about 10 years if not more, so I’ll have to see if 1) the version I have still works and 2) I am able to remember how to use it… I was never very good at it.
MDB Cloner is super easy to use. Even I can handle that. You just change the name to the armor you want to replace. MDB Config is another matter, it’s a bit more involved.
On rare occasions and special situations, MDB Cloner isn’t enough and you have to use MDB Config, but for what you’re trying to do I don’t think it’s a problem.
As stated though, you could send Morgoth a PM on Discord and see if there are other leather armor override mods.

OK, I am able to use it (though it’s not very intuitive, at least not the version I have from the old days, v. 1.15) - but I am unable to keep track of which files to convert - there are quite a few in each folder, and some seem to have armor parts I must convert in addition to the armor itself.
I was able to find 3 suitable candidates for P_HMM_LE_01-03 which I could swap, but realized when I tested the changes in the toolset that at least one of them is missing an arm (though the hand is there, hanging by itself in the air 
).
So, again, my limited knowledge about these file structures (models and materials ain’t my forte) limits my ability to use this tool.
Also, there is potentially a total of 30 files (3 models, 10 races) that I have to find a substitute for, and I am really not sure if that is possible - since many of the best/coolest custom armors are only for human/elf (judging from the file names, at any rate).
There’s also my reskins of one of the stock leather armors in Elven style.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. This also requires use of the mdb cloner if I want to replace a vanilla resource, I presume? At least the file structure here seems to be —surmountable, even for me.
