I'm not sure if it's something to do with the some odd 50+ mods I have installed, but the Elven light armor has skeleton issues - the ball of the shoulder is further up/foward than the socket for the armor is and it seems to move around a lot - when running or walking the chainmail on the shoulder looks fine, but when a weapon is out the ball of the shoulder moves out and you get a horrible 'stretch' effect.

After looking at it again in game, there is a slight misallignment while idle. The stretch goes on a field trip when you draw or sheath your weapon and is only slightly less bad while blocking. When a weapon is drawn and the character is idle, the misalingment is also pretty bad but not as bad as drawing/sheathing. The big problem is the worst of the stretching is on the back, where you will be seeing the character. What it looks like to me is that the Light Elven Armor pushes its meshes down below where the shoulder normally is which makes the arm's shoulder join misalign during animations. The normal elven armor might not be so bad because it has shoulderarmor to hide it?

Anyway, I've been looking around on the net and I haven't found any other discussions about this BUT the Light Elven Armor is really cool - either people aren't caring, people aren't wearing, or people aren't getting the same problem I am. I wanna figure out what's causing this.
