📋 About This Mod

HACS - Red Dress
The Red Dress.  Supposed to be the "sexy" vanilla clothing in Fallout 4, but ended up looking more like a glittery garbage bag that was somehow made of cardboard.  Because even fabric couldn't be saved from radiation.

Sure, classy ladies from the '50s would never dream of wearing something like this.  Too scandalous.  But it's 2287 now, and times have changed - and you need to go clubbing with some Super Mutants.

HOW TO CREATE THIS CLOTHING SET
If you are using the CBBE Curvy preset, and have no interest in customizing your clothes, all you need to do is install this mod and it will take care of it for you.

If you are using any other CBBE body, and don't want to customize your clothes, just install this mod, open BodySlide, then batch build it using your desired preset.

If you don't fit into either of these two categories, PLEASE follow these steps.

1. Install HACS manually or with NMM (if you're not familiar with either way, the one-step process is below) 2. Open BodySlide 3. From the Outfit drop-down list, choose Abe Red Dress 4. Choose the body preset you want 5. Open the Preview window.  If you don't do this, there's no way to know what you're going to end up with. 6. There will be a list of around 30 check boxes labeled "Zap something".  Checking these boxes will remove parts from the clothing set. 7. Use the other zap boxes to remove or re-add parts until you have a look that you're happy with. 8. Click the "Build" button, and it will generate the mesh. I realize there are some texture seam issues with this dress, and for some reason the shoes are all sorts of messed up, but I haven't had a chance to get the textures lining up perfectly just yet.  The worst of the texturing problems are fixed, but there will be some seams between sections.  It might just be the price to pay for having so many interchangeable parts.

Slipkorn20 made a sweet demo video of the dress, thanks so much!  I noticed the shoes got a ton worse than I originally thought they had - I'll take care of that as soon as I can.
