WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?
The is a complete clothing and armor overhaul for NPCs. They will wear different outfits depending on the situation.
-
[]Most NPCs will only wear hats/hoods/helmets if it is raining or snowing. Vampires will also wear hoods when it is sunny.
[]Armored NPCs will usually take off their helmet when not in combat.
[]Female NPCs will wear skimpy outfits indoors or when it is sunny, but dress conservatively when it is cold outside. The elderly always dress conservatively.
[]Most NPCs sleep with less clothing.
[]With the Cloaks and Capes Patch installed, some will wear cloaks when it is snows. Uniformed NPCs such as guards will always wear capes.
This is partially randomized, but within a very narrow range. For example, a farmer may wear a different farm outfit on Monday than on Tuesday, but they will never switch to a noble outfit. Farmers only wear farmer hats, mages only wear mage hoods, etc.
In order to prevent a long list of potential problems, followers will not change outfits while they are following you.
There might be some minor balance changes, but they were kept to a minimum. For example, I only added high-level armor to NPCs that are always essential and can't become a follower. This should work fine with mods like MorrowLoot Ultimate.
