📋 About This Mod

Distributes Modular Mage outfits to College of Winterhold NPCs using SPID. Outfits are random, meaning lots of variety, but minor clipping is inevitable. Efforts have been made to minimize clipping wherever possible.

Distributed outfits are enchanted and match vanilla college enchantments. For example, Mirabelle, who normally wears apprentice robes of alteration, will wear a top (bra, corset, etc) with the same enchantment. Patch for Thaumaturgy is available in optional files

Important: I distribute to college of winterhold NPCs only. That means warlocks, necromancers, court mages, etc will not receive the outfit. If you want all mages to wear the outfit, check out the SPID by Herobrine07.

If you use Container Item Distributor, College of Winterhold merchants will sell enchanted modular mage items from their school. For instance, Colette will sell restoration enchanted tops, as well as some unenchanted accessories (boots, mantles, sleeves, etc). I mirror vanilla leveled lists, so at low levels, you only have access to novice gear, and apprentice/adept/expert/master gear will appear as you level up.

I've also included a KID file that distributes the SoS_Revealing keyword. I've shamelessly plagiarized Deathrowe6's file from the main page.

Please note, I've taken a break from modding and have not updated the main file since 2024, so Archmage set and other items added in 1. 4 and onward aren't distributed. Sorry =/

Distribution Details

Distribution is by outfit. I replace vanilla alteration outfits with modular mage alteration outfits. Novice to novice, apprentice to apprentice, etc. If there's a hood, I use a replacement outfit uses a hood. Most mod added college NPCs use vanilla college outfits, so they'll be included too.

I've included a contingency for mod added NPCs in custom outfits. NPCs in the college of winterhold faction, whose class is ALSO magic related (elemental mage, conjurer, spell trainer, etc) receive a modular mage outfit.

WACCF Patch - Kindly provided by HiggsBp

Lowers the value of all the items. WACCF sets all the mage robes, enchanted and unenchanted, to have very low costs. This patch carries the changes forward to all the Magecore items using the same tier values so it maps like this:

  • []Novice - 35

    []Apprentice - 55

    []Adept - 75

    []Expert -125

  • Master - 140

    It also carries forward the MagicDisallowEnchanting keyword.
