📋 About This Mod
Styles of Skyrim Series
The goal of this series is to greatly increase the color variety of Skyrim's NPC clothing in a lore-friendly manner. All the mods in this series are built from the ground up with compatibility in mind. These mods utilize Skypatcher for distribution and mod compatibility patching, with the goal of being as 'plug and play' as possible. Enjoy an expanded catalogue of immersive new clothing colors!
Merchant Clothes Variations
Does that apron only come in orange? Not anymore! This mod adds much needed variety for merchant's clothing! Features eight new color variants for the merchant outfit, two of which are uniques for specific NPCs (refer to images). Also adds a darker variant of the hat and boots, to match with the dark leather of the merchant variant outfit.
Merchant clothes are some of the more commonly used generic NPC clothing, hence more variants are added than usual. Hopefully this will reduce your chances of seeing outfit twins, especially with mods that add extra NPCs!
SkyPatcher is absolutely mandatory, otherwise new outfits will not get distributed!
These textures were modifed from Xavbio's Common Clothing Retexture, which is a soft requirement for aesthetic consistency.
