📋 About This Mod

  • []About V 5 (early release)[/]

    To use the latest version, download the v. 5 main file and a texture package of your choosing.

    About the new version:

    • []I have removed the requirement of Travel Equipment.[/]

      []It contains a lot more cloaks. The cloaks are now divided by quality and NPCs receive those which match the value of their outfit (if you are well dressed, you likely will get some beautiful silk cloak. If you are wearing cheap clothes, you will get a rather drab cloak. If your cloaks are middle class, your stuff will be nice, but nothing extravagant). Same for hoods.[/]

      []Capes for armoured people now come in a variety of shapes. [/]

      []I have made new textures for all of them. They also all have icons.[/]

      []When the conditions change, the removal and equip are somewhat staggered among the NPCs. It's not instantaneous any more.[/]

      []The compatibility with other mods is improved: the mod will not take over occupied tail slots.[/]

      []It should be possible to immediately equip capes and hoods taken from the enemy.[/]

      []A script adds the new items to appropriate leveled lists, so you should be able to find them for sale and in containers.[/]

    Known issues:

    • []this is an early release. You might notice that a small number of icons or names are not perfectly accurate (satin instead of velour!).[/]

      []you can pickpocket the items while the NPCs wear them, because they actually use NPC duplicates.[/]

      []PLEASE REPORT ISSUES YOU FIND![/]

    Compatibility:

    • []The mod always was highly compatible, but this version is even more so.[/]

      []One itch: NPCs Yeld lets you look into the inventory of defeated enemies and make their not playable items playable (WHYYY???). This means that you might pick up the tokens that regulate the cloak distribution. One of them will give you an automatic cloak or cape. The other one informs the engine not to give more tokens to the NPC, who will then probably grow a new cloak. Luckily, you can ditch both of them. You might also pick up the NPC version of the cape, in which case you will have to drop it before you can wear it.[/]

    • []models by Someone1074, Apachii, Ph0rce, Ryu Doppler, PushTheWinButton.[/]

      []I don't put any restriction on using for modding what was made through my work.[/]

      ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION

      • []When it's not sunny, NPCs will get a cloak to wear. When it's raining, they will also get a hood of the same colour.[/]

        [*]Cloaks normally occupy the tail slot, but beast races receive cloaks that use the amulet slot, so their tail does not disappear. You won't see cloaks on Khajiit and Argonians wearing armour, because cuirasses cover the amulet
