More Appropriate Outfits For NPCs (SPID)

A mod to assign approximately 50 new outfits to around 160 named NPCs throughout Skyrim, using only vanilla Skyrim & DLC assets. The outfits are distributed using SPID, so no NPC records are changed, eliminating the need for patches for overhauls.

I've tried to keep everything as lore friendly as possible, but the mod is highly configurable if you want to distribute the outfits in your own way. I've added Dunmer outfits to most Dunmers, Redguard outfits to most Redguards and added some unused (or little used) outfits from the vanilla game such as green college robes, mourner's clothes and others.

I've looked at nearly every NPC in Skyrim (DLCs excluded for now) and given around 160 of them a more appropriate outfit. I've excluded a few by choice to keep some original flavour and no doubt I've missed some, but you can add any NPCs you wish to the config file.

My Process

I've taken into consideration several factors when assigning outfits. I've included their profession, gender, race, location, routine, social class and their wealth, as well as their age. This means a wealthy NPC will be more likely to wear fancy jewellery and a more expensive looking outfit. Working class NPCs will be more likely to wear cheaper outfits and less jewellery. If their routine is mostly outdoors they'll wear more layers and the further north you travel, you'll see more NPCs wearing gloves, hats and fur lined boots, especially if they're not Nords. If they're older they'll also wear warmer clothing. NPCs that work outdoors will be more used to the cold weather, especially if they are Nord.

I've changed a number of NPCs that had outfits that didn't suit them, including adding barkeep outfits to some inkeepers that had farm clothes and miner outfits to miners who were also wearing farm clothes. Other examples include Jon Battle-Born who now has civilian clothes instead of the iron armour he was wearing. He wants to be a bard and he's not a warrior, so it made no sense to me for him to walk round in armour. Similarly with Amren, he's retired to look after his family, so I've given him civilian clothes. Asgeir Snow-Shod tells you he is in mourning when you meet him so he now wears mourner's clothes.

I've also incorporated the changes from one of my other mods that changes any females that start the game with the Tavern Clothes to wear the Chef's Outfit instead.

As well as outfits I've also attempted to integrate some DLC items by adding them to selected merchants and blacksmiths. As Riften and Solitude are near the border with Morrowind and both have quite a few Dunmer living there, it made sense to give them Morrowind items.

Likewise Grelka has a chance to stock some Dawnguard items including a crossbow and some armour pieces. Balimund also stocks crossbow bolts and has a chance of having some Dawnguard armour pieces. You can al
