    ...ugh it'd probably be too much trouble to make that suitable for lady-type inqs, huh.

    possibly :// the mesh would have to be fitted and things like that and i'm reeeally not good at meshing.

    I could convert it - I used to do a lot of gender converting for Sims 2 so I'm an old hand at it - but until we can add meshes, it's pointless to do so.

    @witchknights How is that armor available? If it unlocked with Trespasser, it can't be retextured yet - DLC assets can't really be modified until Dawnlesssky finishes the new mod maker. When we can, though, there's soooo much stuff I'm going to fix.

    it's with the unlock mp and trespasser armors mod, specifically the Arcane Warrior MP Armors Crafting. And as far as I know it wasn't a DLC character so i'm not sure what to do here...

    ugh, i KNOW right??? I am hoping they can fix the no-shine complexion issue with trespasser cause. goddamn. and the "Descent Hates Mods" thing too.

    That one spot in Descent where you have to change your patch number - mods or not! - to get past the scene is such an amazing fuckup. It's amazing Bioware never fixed it.

    Ohhh right that armor is from multiplayer! Totally retexturable. The path is da3 > factions > multiplayer > appearances > uni_em_arcanewarrior01 > textures. There are tintable parts... idk if they're tintable at the tint table or if you have to specifically change the tint file.

    Thank you so much!! I'm gonna have to change the tint file i think, cause the mod has three variants that aren't tintable... i'll see what happens. I just don't really want skintight chainmail.

    I didn't have this issue when I played Descent, but i've only played it that one time so i don't know what will happen now that i have piled up stuff on top of the game.

    oh, speaking of a completely sort-of-tangentially related subject, my Alistair sim is in the middle of a midlife crisis. He got a douchebag makeover at the salon and also a tattoo.

    LOL omg. Alistair.

    If you don't want to change the tint map, the tint files are in da3 > factions > multiplayer > tints. It'll probably be the first one you want to change. The values are in float point and the color matching is super fiddly. You can change the directly in the mod maker if you use .19 - make sure to save it as its own mod file.

    Your Circle dresses turned out super nice, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with with the armor!

    A grumble: Atherisz's mods are a goddamn disaster. Good luck trying to figure out what file does what or what the schematic you want is named! His instructions are an incoherent mess, and he's made everything WAY too overpowered.

    I'm going to have to make some of my own versions of these, and that's a real shame because this kind of fiddling is a huge fucking headache. I want that friggin' reaper armor just that badly.

    I have no idea how to make these mods. But yeah, the mods are pretty confusing to use and way too powerful, but they're pretty, there's the pretty keeper coat, i want that coat. ):

    There's a tutorial in the downloads of this mod, but it's kind of confusing. I remember having a bit of a hard time with it when I made the craftable Ardent Blossom. If I can sort things out, though, I'll make some versions that aren't ridiculously OP and don't require installing and uninstalling five or six different mods. I can't figure out why Atherisz even did that.

    Once we can retexture Trespasser stuff, I'm looking forward to porting my retexture of the MP Keeper coat over to the all races version. It's a cool outfit. (And then I'll tweak a bunch of meshes to not have so many bizarre random metal bits. And rescale the stuff that looks bizarre on men. And...)

    apparently there's a limit on the number of items each merchant can sell, or at least that's what i got from their explanations.

    there's an all-race version of the mp keeper coat?

    Yeah, there is a limit to how much each merchant can sell, but... he could have copied a shop with a bigger inventory over to shop he wanted to use, and then overwrote what was in there, which would have given him more than enough space to compress all those MP items into one shop. :| That's what a couple of crafting material mods I have do.

    And yeah, there is! I think it's a trials reward, sooo basically inaccessible to most of us. :') I think it's supposed to be in Atherisz's mod, but I couldn't find it when I tried installing it, so I think I'll make my own version. If you're fine with just an EF version, tirnoeny (I think that was the spelling) has one that replaces the formal wear. I think there's another one out there that replaces the PJs instead.

    Well, I've had some success in making a schematic. I'm going to have to use the most straightforward method and straightup replace schematics, since all I could manage to get the fancier method to do was crash the game on loading. :') I can either replace tier 1 schematics and beef up the crafting slots they do have, or replace high-tier schematics so they're golden nug-able. I'm leaning toward the latter since there's a fair amount of duplicate appearances in the armors with upgrade slots, so it wouldn't really hurt to lose one of them. (Or I could make a JoH version that replaces the 'refined' armors, since there's absolutely nothing new about those.)

    Being Golden-Nugable would be really neat, if you could do it.

    ETA sims update: One of Alistair's sons rolled Artistic, Snob and Avant-Garde. I had to stop for a minute because i don't think i have enough hipster douchebag CC for him.

    It shouldn't be any problem for me to replace some of the tier 3 schematics with ones for new Trespasser stuff! I'll get to it after Solas is done breaking my Inq's heart. :')

    Heart = broken. Ow. That actually hurt way worse than I thought it would. I was feeling kind of lukewarm about the romance, but that last scene... even knowing what was coming, it hurt like crazy. My poor Inquisitor.

    Ok so, ideas. Do you guys think it'd look better as a full sleeved leather jacket (albeit a very tight one), a leather vest + chainmail and fabric sleeves, or just fabric sleeves? No one deserves metal poking the bendy bits so no mail near the armpits and elbows. I tink it'd look pretty fenris-esque with the right materials, if it were fabric. but some combination of leather and mail seems more resistant and aaarggh.
    anyway. i'm keeping the chestplate over a leather something, at least. I like the panel bedazzle of this EF outerwear mod and thought about doing some interlocking leather strips thing for the parts that depend only of the normal. and i'm not sure if i leave the legging 'plain' like they are (the texture is just a placeholder) with stitching detail or if i try to incorporate the awful meshed bermudas into some leather thing to break the material blocking a little instead of hoping people wouldn't notice the awful knees.


    also argh ignore my english fuckups i'm trying to win a bet that i could stay 36 hrs awake and i'm almost there....................

    Agatha takes Bethany everywhere, so of COURSE she took Bethany to the Deep Roads. Who else would look after her?

    Yep, Bethany got the Blight in the Deep Roads and Agatha had to kill her.

    This is why we can't have nice things.
