📋 About This Mod
Is your Hawke tired of tripping over his skirts in battle? Frustrated by robes that cover up her boots and gloves? Sick of walking around Kirkwall in an outfit that screams \'ARREST ME, I\'M A MAGE\'? With this mod, all their troubles will soon be over! This is a swap that replaces two of the standard mage robe models with more practical adventuring gear already seen in some of the unique armour. It\'s a purely aesthetic change that will have no effect on item stats. It should only change the player\'s gear, so NPCs are still stuck wearing dresses. To install, simply drop the .gda file into your override folder, normally located at Documents/BioWare/packages/core/override. To uninstall, delete it and the standard robes will come back. Updated to Version 1. 2: This version should be compatible with other mods that change the item_variation.gda as long as they don\'t affect the standard mage robes. This update also fixes the issue that was making some male NPC robes show up incorrectly by leaving the robe models they were wearing unswapped; I\'m working on a fix that will allow the player to have all four robes swapped without invisible elves or Danarius turning up with no shoes. If you see any NPCs that are invisible or barefoot, let me know and I will fix them ASAP! The management takes no responsibility if your outfit ends up a hideous lime green.
