Constant vigilance

Unaware of when the Templars or Blood Wizards would appear at Kirkwall's gate, Hawke began wearing his regular armor at Amel Manor instead of his jacket/pants/skirt/slippers.

I didn't like the Hugh Hefner outfit that my Hawke wore on the estate, so I looked at Hotieadin's "Bra and Knickers" fashion and wondered if I could do something similar to have Hawke in his underwear on the estate. This has not yet been possible, but as a compromise, Hawke remains in his armor on the estate.

Q: Does this fashion do anything else?

A: No, he just forces Hawk to wear the armor he wears in the mansion, he doesn't use the entire apr_base.gda file, only the two lines associated with Hawk's clothing in the house, so there should be fewer file conflicts than using KwanJin.

S: why can't Hawke wear underwear?

A: He can and cannot. The problem is this:

Currently, when you enter a mansion, you must wear only one item, not gloves/breast plates/boots. So, for example, you can set all the flags for championship armor on _nuda and use this file, but the side effect is that you will always be walking around the city in underwear. If you set your house armor to _nuda, your limbs will be amputated.

I don't know if it's possible for Hawke to wear underpants inside and regular clothes outside without a full set of tools - I'll play around a little bit with that, but it's either beyond my ability or I'll have to wait. If the latter, when the new toolkit comes out, someone more experienced than me will have it all. For now, I see this as a compromise.

Q: How will this affect cutscenes?

A: We only tested with Fenris, but it should have no impact. At the beginning of the romantic scene, when she wears the famous pirate robe, there was a slight undercut, but nothing special. In the "after" scene, she stands in her underwear and only puts on her armor after the guy leaves.

The rest of the scenes I've been watching on YouTube, so I can only write what I think you should expect:

Isabella and her "after" scene are a little different, you go back to the smoking jacket before she leaves.

Meryl's scene looks the same as Fenris's.

Anders is like Isabella, and they're all dressed.

Q: Are there conflicts with other modes?

A: The mod that changes the rendering of clothes in Amell Hightown uses the entire apr_base.gda file and does not delete lines that render clothes in the house. In other words, my own Finery mod is in conflict. Other known conflicts include a mod that changes hawk speed/running and a mod that adjusts female animation. There may be other unwanted conflicts. If you can tell me which mods you have installed (and which of my mods don't work), I can track the problem.

S: can I wear (insert the name of the garment) outside the house? Can I always wear (the name of clothing) in this fashion?

A: Yes, it is possible, but no, we will not make fashion for it.

The reasons for this are as follows. To wear armor at all times, simply change your armor skin to the one you want to wear at all times. The problem is to choose which armor you want to redraw, and also to think if you want this armor to be useful to you. Ideally you need armor that evolves with you (so you don't have to change it), but I haven't read how to do it.

For example, you can make the championship armor look like a nobleman's clothes, but you will not be able to get the championship armor until Act Three.

There are (I think) lots of tutorials on how to repaint objects, but if you really want to do it, but don't know how, and you don't care what properties the object has, I'll probably be able to tell you about it in PM. Remember, I'm not an expert either, so it's like a blind person leads a blind person.

Anyway, I understand that this is my first mod, and it is nothing special (not worth mentioning if you just remove one line).
