Not using this heels mod with footwear requiring it will cause problems. Some female shoes require “HDT HighHeels System” which make your character taller so that her legs don’t appear mysteriously shorter. Historical recreation or realistic gear is great, but I prefer a touch of fantasy suitable for Skyrim. Styles should be similar to or inspired by outfits found throughout Tamriel, which is very diverse in style and cultural background. Another character likes intimidating (decorative) armors. She blended in better than wearing mage robes or Dark Brotherhood outfits around town. My retired mage, Reisha, always prefered normal clothing, the mourner’s dress and “Blades Hakama” her favorites.

When “realistic” armor is mentioned in regard to Skyrim, I assume this refers to protection in combat and from the elements within context of The Elder Scrolls. Armor that improves by feeding on blood sounds cool, doesn’t it? on “lore-friendly” and my preference
