📋 About This Mod
I finially got around to updating the mod to Patch 8 - although I didn't add anything new. One of these days I will.
This mod is currently a WIP only due to the fact that I want to add more to it. Everything in the mod already works and is implemented into the game. Right now the armors are currently centered around The Dark Urge, but nothing is stopping someone else from putting them on. The armors, more specifically the singular bag that has the armors, can be found in the tutorial chest. (I may add this to some vendors, or implement Item Shipment Framework, but like I said, the mod is WIP). The armors do have the stats of early game armor, but I created them with the intent to use it with Transmog Enhanced or something else to boost stats. I tried to add a decent description to each armor to describe it's looks, as well as custom icons. These armors are only for body type 1 Humans/Elves/Tieflings for right now. Now that's over with I can explain some in some more detail.
Armor:
This works as it does base game, covering the torso and legs and will use the body slot.
This will cover exclusively the torso, and uses the body slot. These are intended to be used with the bottoms.
This covers the legs and feet, and will use the boot slot. These are intended to be used with the tops.
Accessories:
Largely contains belts and shoulder pads and will use the cloak slot.
Will use the head slot, but may not actually be a helmet or circlet.
Boots and Gloves:
Works the same as base game, and goes in their respective slot.
Camp Clothes:
Will contain both the body and boot slot for the camp clothes.
The intent behind this: having an extreme amount of choice. I really wanted to be able to have different pieces "layered." So for each piece there are many different variations between how much is covered, a different choice of boots, different shoulder pads, a different corset, etc. I wanted to be able to create a unique look for every character, or every playthrough, without being locked into that choice because you like one particular part. I've done my best to minimize clipping with the armor, for example, one corset has two or three versions because it clipped in some way wit
