Better Decency Check

Summary

Changes dialogue logic, so that the player character is considered naked if they have their torso and legs exposed,

instead of treating having any single apparel item equipped as being decently clothed.

Requires OpenMW Lua. For MWSE, there's a more advanced mod with a similar idea, Cover Yourself.

It also requires every single dialogue info checking if the player character is naked to be explicitly modified.

Hopefully, OpenMW Lua will become mature enough for this mod to work without explicit dialogue modification.

That would be required for what I would consider version 1. 0 of this mod.

Requirements

• []OpenMW 0. 49+

  []Patch for Purists 5. 0. 5 (optional)

  Rationale

  Morrowind has a whole host of amusing NPC reactions to the player character being naked.

  However, the built-in check for that takes into account every single wearable item that the player character has equipped. So the character is not considered naked if they're wearing even a single item that's not even visible on the model, like a ring or a belt. Cue jokes.

  This mod makes the NPCs react to the player character as being naked if both their torso and legs are exposed.

  It makes the NPC reactions seem more sensible, and also easier to actually stumble upon during gameplay. Morrowind's encumbrance system provides some reason to actually run around without clothes, for example when moving massive amounts of loot, while it's generally never worth it to unequip every magical trinket that basically weighs nothing.

  Installation

  The mod is split into two subdirectories. Each of them should be, as a whole, a separate data directory in OpenMW configuration.

  This is the basic part of the mod, required for it to work.

  Both the .esp and .omwscripts files should be activated as content files in OpenMW configuration, the order doesn't matter.

  01 Patch for Purists

  Patch for Purists fixes some and adds some more dialogue checks for the PC being naked.

  If you're using Patch for Purists, add this data directory after both "00 Core" and Patch for Purist's directory.

  The .esp file must be activated as content file after both "better-decency-check.esp" and "Patch for Purists.esm".

  Known Issues

  If you're playing the game without Patch for Purists, the naked reactions for Khaiit NPCs never seem to trigger.

  This seems to be a bug in Morrowind itself, as it also happens for unmodded naked checks.

  If any mod adds NPC reactions to the player being naked, using the built-in "PC Clothing Modifier" checks,
