Apachii Divine Elegance Outfits For NPCs Replacer Version (SPID)

A mod to assign more than 50 new outfits to many NPCs throughout Skyrim. The outfits are distributed using SPID, so no NPC records are changed, eliminating the need for patches for apperance overhauls.

I've tried to keep everything as lore friendly as possible, but the mod is configurable to your tastes. There is a mixture of full outfits from Apachii Divine Elegance and what I call 'Vanilla+' outfits, for example farm clothes but with added items from Apachii DE such as furs, gloves, boots and jewellery.

While I was recently testing out a number of mods that add or overhaul towns and cities, I came across quite a number of NPCs that were added by said mods that had vanilla outfits. Because I use SPID to distribute outfits to NPCs in my game, they really stood out, so I've designed this mod primarily for use with mods that add extra NPCs to the game, such as new towns or inns and similar.

The mod works by replacing vanilla outfits with outfits I've created, rather than the hand-picked approach I took in Apachii Divine Elegance for NPCs. For example if a female NPC starts the game with the outfit called FarmClothesOutfit02, she will be assigned the outfit I've called Brigida Green.

By doing it as a replacer, this mod will give a lot of mod-added NPCs a new outfit that they would not normally get. Think of this mod as a base to build on, then use other SPID outfit mods to be more targeted. This mod will fill in the gaps so that more NPCs will get new outfits.

See the article for the outfit record names and what this mod replaces them with. I've tried to keep outfits like for like so NPCs wearing fine clothes will get fancier outfits.

The mod mostly concentrates on clothing but it does have some random armour assignments too. There are also two outfits specifically for female vampires which are assigned to NPCs in the vampire faction.

Installation

Works best on a new game but can be used on a existing save too. Simply install like you would any other mod using your favourite mod manager, or to install manually just unpack it and drop it in your Skyrim data folder. As the mod uses SPID which is an SKSE plug-in, it should be safe to uninstall, but you would need to use the 'resetinventory' command on any affected NPCs.

Compatibility

Should be compatible with anything, obviously if other mods change the same NPC outfits they may conflict. It should work with other Apachii Divine Elegance SPID mods, whichever mod loads last alphabetically will assign the outfit you prefer to an NPC. I've deliberately named the DISTR.ini file to begin with the letter a so that other SPID mods will overwrite it.

For example - Ysolda starts the game with the outfit called FarmClothesOutfit04 in Creation
