📋 About This Mod
This mod enables player characters to wear the "teen shorts" seen on NPCs. I completely overhauled the colors and materials and edited the mlmasks to create an additional 10 variants with microdetail patterns. I personally dislike the original colors, so they are not included in the atelier list, however, I have included the CET console commands for them in the CET Code List file, for those who are curious.
Compatible with Equipment EX! Uses the middle leg slot.
Currently Fem V only, though I do eventually want to refit for Masc V.
Currently vanilla body only. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to assist in refitting for modded bodies!
Updated to fix a minor issue - 07/16/2023.

⚠️ Cons
