📋 About This Mod
Like most DAI mods, this mod must be loaded with Zhentar's mod manager (not NMM). Find it, along with directions to use it here: http://daitools.freeforums.org/latest-version-announcement-t1068.html UPDATE: tirnoney's Armor-No Class Restrictions mod works beautifully with this mod and covers way more bases than my viv_light_armor_patch, so I am moving the latter to the "old" section. Please use this mod (at least TMMArmourNoClassCraftingBase and TMMArmourNoClassLightLoot. You will need these to equip Cass, Sera, and a non-mage Inquisitor.) Also, I'm not sure why, but installing tirnoney's mod may solve the problem of "Alterna-Viv'"s not appearing in the game for some.
This mod works only with human female Inquisitors. It was done entirely by hex-editing the part_app files in da3/equipment/appearances/armours. I've put notes and a cheat-sheet of reversed hashes for the most common armors and a full list of the armor appearance files that I viv-ified, hashes both ways. I have not figured out how to import meshes into the game, but I've been able to, essentially, clone existing meshes and put them to work for us. I did a tutorial; I think anyone with a pretty basic grasp of hex-editing can do it. http://daitools.freeforums.org/how-to-switch-bodies-via-appearance-hashes-t1186.html to wear Viv's dress to Halalmshiral, install Live Like Viv and this: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonageinquisition/mods/859/?tab=4&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fdragonageinquisition%2Fajax%2Fcomments%2F%3Fthread_id%3D3232529%26mod_id%3D859 I have recently added a standalone mod to the downloads here called "viv winter palace only" so human females can live like viv for one night only without having to change pajama mods. Afterwards, that very same Formal Attire, the ones in your inventory after the ball, will still look like Viv's dress on all human females (for those tough times when you really need it), including Cass and Sera. If Cass and Sera are in your party at the Halamshiral, and you equip them with the Formal Attire during the "action" sequences when your inventory is re-enabled, but during the ballroom scenes and the last dance the Formal Attire will look normal on them (see "pajamas at the ball" for explanation). On inquisitors who are not human females, this mod will look unique and very nice, but it will conflict with other Halamshiral appearance mods. Crafting the Formal Attire will be totally normal. this mod recreates your pajamas (including modded ones) out of the Formal Attire and it looks very pretty with Viv's outfit.
MOD DESCRIPTION:
LIVE LIKE VIV essentially swaps the human female Inquisitor's pajama-body for Vivienne's. It is not necessary for use of EQUIP LIKE VIV, which "Vivienne-izes" all of the light armor so that it looks on all human females like it does on
Live Like Viv lets human female Inquisitors wear Vivienne's outfit, complete with body mesh, or reskins all light armor to match her style. It also includes an 'Alterna-Viv' variant and extends equipping to Cassandra and Sera. A niche cosmetic mod for Dragon Age: Inquisition players who want Vivienne's look.
