📋 About This Mod
The King is Dead, v. 1. 0
File under: I'll never unsee it but at least I won't see it again
Dragon Age: Origins + Return to Ostagar DLC
=================
Description, blather, babble, and nonsense:
Return to Ostagar + nude body replacer = OMG CAILAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (Amiright?)
To avoid recurrences of THAT modding misadventure, HRH Cailan (deceased) will wear a 'stylish' set of noble clothing. (Marginally better than encountering the Stiff who was Stiff, but there it is.)
And I believe I've finally circumvented the issue with Cailan changing his posture and blinking when interacted with... what is dead stays dead.
=================
To Install:
Place the tsm_RTO_cailan folder into the override directory (usually \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
Must be installed prior to entering the Return to Ostagar version of the Ostagar map.
=================
To Uninstall:
Delete tsm_RTO_cailan folder from \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override.
=================
Known Issues:
Will not be compatible with any mod that edits 'kcc100cr_cailan.utc'.
I tried, but couldn't manage to insert the phrases 'got a bone to pick', '... or are you happy to see me?', and 'You know, Alistair, the family resemblance is remarkable!' in the ReadMe. Forgive me, my king...
=================
Additional notes:
A tip o' the hat to Clothed Prisoners by danscott84. I would have just used that mod, if Cailan would have just, you know... stayed dead. ('AND STAY DOWN!')

TSM The King is Dead is a small cosmetic mod for Dragon Age: Origins that equips Cailan from the Return to Ostagar DLC with noble clothing, addressing the issue of him appearing nude when body replacers are installed. With 493 endorsements and 9,926 downloads, it's a niche fix for a specific visual glitch.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance for body replacer users (493 endorsements show it's appreciated).
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without extra bloat.
- Easy to install and forget; just drop it in and Cailan looks proper.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Cailan in one DLC—if you wanted more clothing fixes, this isn't it.
- Old mod (last updated 2017) might not be compatible with newer mod setups or DLC patches.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Cailan's appearance or the RTO quest.
For Dragon Age: Origins players who use nude body replacers and want Cailan to look decent in Return to Ostagar. Also for lore-friendly folks who prefer kings not running around in their skivvies. Skip if you don't use body replacers or don't care about Cailan's wardrobe.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no extra steps needed.
- Make sure to load this after any body replacer mods to ensure the clothing overrides correctly.
- If you see Cailan still nude, check your load order and ensure this mod isn't overwritten by other appearance mods.
