📋 About This Mod

Update: HDT-SMP Physics Patch

  • []Find it in the optional files section!

    • []Heavily based on kpvw's Practical Pirate CBBE SMP Cloth Physics, but fully re-weighted, with new base geometry and XML tweaks.
      • []Adds a physics-enabled skirt to the female variant of the outfit, for maximum stylish skirt-swishing during both war and peace.
        • []Requires HDT-SMP (Skinned Mesh Physics) to be installed.

          Update 2: Practical Pirate v1. 1

          • []A side-effect of building the physics-enabled version, updates include:

            []Slightly improved mesh weighting for female variant, especially around the torso

            []Added geometry inside shoulder area for female variant to stop mysterious views out into the wider world

            []Fix for dark variant of female gauntlets showing incorrect texture set in first person view

            Update 3: Practical Pirate v1. 2

            • []Reverted male gauntlets ground model which accidentally turned into the Toughened Traveler version in v1. 1 (thanks to hatirelo for the bug report!)

              Practical Pirate outfit for Skyrim SE

              • []Practical and stylish outfit for both male and female characters with full weight slider support, built late in 2020 as a learning exercise in quarantine. Close to a remake of the earlier Rugged Rogue outfuts, but with lessons learned. More informal, hard-wearing clothing for the discerning adventurer.
                • []Female variants based around UNP body, in case that matters, and there is an optional CBBE patch and Outfit Studio / Bodyslide files for download too.
                  • []Created using Marvelous Designer, Modo, Substance Painter, Photoshop and Outfit Studio. (That last one was incredibly useful for getting things into Skyrim, many thanks to everyone involved!)

                    Location and Crafting

                    • []There's a chest next to the wreck of the Brinehammer, northwest of Dawnstar. Includes outfits and a pattern book should you wish to craft new instances.

                      Installation

                      []Use a mod manager or copy the contents of 'Data' into your Skyrim SE 'Data' folder and add 'practical_pirate.esp' to your addons list.

                      [*]The ESP file is ESL flagged, so won't take up an extra plugin slot in Skyrim SE. In Skyrim VR, it ignores that but loads normally without
