📋 About This Mod
I like when things match. I like when what I see in my inventory (or the chest I'm rummaging through, or the corpse I'm looting, etc) looks at least close to the end result of what's going to show up on my character or follower when I equip it. To that end, I've reshaped the meshes of the vanilla farmer and merchant clothes to create matching versions for all of them. I also made matches for and split the farmer03 hood out into both a short and a long version. I additionally adjusted the original long female hood so that it would fit both versions of the robes better. This effectively doubles the variety in clothing that you'll find on your everyday folk in Skyrim!
(Looking for something stranger? Check out Uncommon Clothing to find the same thing done for the vampire robes, mourner clothes, and wench dress/tunic or Crafter Clothing for the blacksmiths, barkeeps, and chefs, or Unique Clothing for Nocturnal, Cicero, and the executioner!)
You can find one of each farmer/merchant outfit in the Sack of Old Clothes in the windmill outside of Whiterun.
Files Options:
-
[]Main File - pairs and adds matching versions for all farmer/merchant clothes.
[
]Dresses Only - replaces all the farmer and merchant tunics/pants with dresses.[]Pants Only - replaces all the farmer and merchant dresses with tunics/pants.
[]Reverse - swaps the dresses into trousers and the trousers into dresses; everyone's clothes are switched!
[]Flatter Bosoms - alternate female tunics/trousers with flatter chests. Install after any of the other files and overwrite.
[]Loose Files - nothing but the meshes, suitable for use as a modder's resource (see permissions below).
[]WACCF Patch - provides compatibility for Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes, created by ironpoisax and then YFish.
[]Combined WACCF Patch - a compatibility patch for WACCF for all three of my vanilla clothing match mods in one. It requires all three of them!
Compatibility:
No NPCs were directly altered. This mod will not affect facegen! However, because the clothes they wear have been altered, you will see NPCs in the new variations. New clothes have been added to the leveled lists as well, so you'll want to make yourself a bashed patch! Otherwise it should be compatible with everything, and since it's almost entirely using vanilla assets it will be improved automatically by any texture replacers you use.
There is some mesh-overlap with this and Uncommon Clothing and your mod manager will consequently warn you of conflicts. They are the same meshes, so you can overwrite either one with the other
Common Clothing - Vanilla Matches is a small Skyrim mod that adds gender-matching versions of four farmer and two other clothing sets, so outfits no longer change design based on the wearer's gender. It's ESL-flagged for minimal load order impact, with 330 endorsements and last updated in November 2021.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 330 endorsements and over 5,400 downloads.
- Solves a real immersion-breaking issue for players who hate gender-swapped outfits.
- ESL-flagged means it won't eat your load order slots.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers six clothing sets, so many outfits still have the gender-swap problem.
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- Potential conflicts with other clothing overhaul mods that alter the same items.
For Skyrim players who are bothered by clothing changing appearance based on gender and want a simple fix for the most common sets. Skip if you use a comprehensive clothing overhaul that already addresses this or if you don't mind the vanilla gender differences.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the plugin in your load order after any mods that modify the same clothing items.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and enable the plugin easily.
- Check the in-game clothing on both male and female characters to see the changes.
