📋 About This Mod
Unless women's pants are a trend that sprung up in the 10ish years between DAO and DAI, there should be peasant women wearing trousers all over Ferelden.
And now there can be! :)
(and can you really imagine Dalish women hiking around Thedas in skirts & heels...?)
I've ported 3 outfits for each race from DAI (combined into 3 in-game clothing items, to reduce potential GDA # conflicts and my aggravation). Also converted a couple for kids, because little girls deserve pants, too.
All outfits are tintable, and will be affected by anything that overrides Bioware's standard commoner tints.
The dwarf clothes are made to line up with tmp's DF proportions fixes (because a: the long arms weird me out, and b: DAI meshes are basically already made with it).
And yes, I know the dwarfy clothing looks more like armor. That's because there are NO female dwarf clothes in DAI (aside from the generic stuff made for all races). There's only one male dwarf set of clothes, even, and it's an upscaled version of one of those questionable DAO noble clothing sets. :/
(may DA4 please take us to Kal-Sharok and overload us with dwarfy content pleeeeeeaaaaase)

There are two versions available-- standalone or replacers.
Standalone outfits use clothing_variation #s 166, 167, & 168 (adults), and apr_base #s 30001-30003 (kids). They should be compatible with pretty much anything else.
If you want them for yourself, the console command "give_pants" will get you one of each tint.
Replacement outfits replace the Commoner B, D, and G dresses, and will conflict with anything that also alters those .mmh files. If using tmp's female proportions fixes, either make sure Pants for Women loads after it, or delete the following files from female proportions fixes:
*comb_0.mmh / comb_2.mmh
comd_0.mmh / comd_2.mmh
comg_0.mmh / *comg_2.mmh
If there are any race's replacers you don't like, you can safely delete just that folder, and those ladies will wear the usual dresses instead.
I have not included any little girl replacers because that will change all the little girls, and that seems a bit of overkill.
Confirmed compatible with Elves of Ferelden / Elves of Ferelden HD and Additional Clothing for Kids. (and both highly recommended!)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 207 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Adds practical pants to commoner outfits, a nice touch for roleplayers who want realism.
- Simple cosmetic addition that doesn't mess with gameplay mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers commoner outfits, so nobles and other armor sets are untouched.
- Ports from DAI might have texture or mesh quirks in Origins' engine.
- No updates since May 2021, so compatibility with newer mods or patches is uncertain.
For Dragon Age: Origins players who want more practical clothing options for female characters, especially those who roleplay as commoners or prefer pants over skirts. Skip if you're looking for armor or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a cosmetic mod, use a mod manager like DAO ModManager or Vortex to avoid overwriting other outfit mods.
- Check the mod's file structure to ensure it goes into the correct override folder—usually 'Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override'.
- If you see missing textures, try re-installing and make sure no other mods conflict with commoner outfits.
