📋 About This Mod

UPDATE: As of v1. 3, VSUFramework functions and config files must include a modID. This will allow mods doing different things to not interfere with each other in the framework. You will need to rebuild the VSU database after updating.

This mod provides a framework to support transitions between related clothing items. Configuration files can define rules to link groups of items together, which allows mods using this framework to support easier customization. Users can create their own rules to link items from existing mods without using Creation Kit.

While one use case is for potentially lewd mods, there is plenty of capability for innocent purposes. For example, a mod could be made to transition armor or clothing to a damaged state after an amount of damage is taken (or item condition falls below a threshold, if combined with a durability framework). Additional configuration files would be able to add outfits to that system without requiring modification to the mod itself, letting end users add support for their own custom items without needing Creation Kit or xEdit.

After installing or removing a plugin that uses this framework, use the Mod Configuration Menu to rebuild the database, under "VSU Framework". The database should build automatically when VSU Framework is first installed (when the MCM menu is added), but it will need to be rebuilt if another mod using the framework is later installed or removed.

Requirements:

- PapyrusUtil: Hard requirement. This is necessary for the primary functionality of this framework.

- SkyUI: Hard requirement.

- Keyword Item Distributor (KID): While not required, this can be used to distribute the keywords for items in the different states. These keywords can be used for dialogue conditions, with the WornHasKeyword condition. If the mod using this framework does not require dialogue conditions, then this would not be necessary. Please include Keyword Item Distributor as a requirement for your mod if you need to use it, because users downloading this mod may not all need it.

Usage for users:

The database will need to be rebuilt whenever changes are made. This can be done in the Mod Configuration menu, under the "VSU Framework" mod page. Mod authors using this framework should include the necessary configuration files, but additional outfits can be customized fairly easily by adding new rules.

Usage for mod authors:

After a mod in this framework is loaded, the user will need to rebuild their database in the MCM. I do not recommend calling the RebuildDatabase function yourself, since a user may install multiple mods at once, and I can't gu
