LE Wear clothes over armor?

[xSkyroot]

So, what I've been thinking for like a few days, was wearing clothes over armor.

 

I mean by that, you have your armor and stuff, but would it be possible to like, create a slot inventory for only the clothing style?

 

I have a female character, and I would like to wear the Wedding Dress ( given with console ) or other mods ( like the Linkle outfit, TLoZ ftw ) but keep my armor protection...

 

Thank you for reading this! :laugh:

Skyrim does not really support this concept. There are various ways to hack around it, but the easiest would be to just modify those clothes in either the CK or TES5Edit to be armor instead of clothing.

Do you actually want your armor to show under your clothing or do you simply want to wear clothing with the protective attributes of armor?

 

The latter is much more simple and just involves creating a duplicate of the clothing you want to use in the creation kit, then editing its stats and adding it to your inventory via the console. There are ways to do the former but they are essentially armor mashups. You will have to use nifskope and/or outfit studio and possibly gimp to make a specific clothing fit over a specific armor. Depending on the shapes of each the results may range from quite nice to terrible clown suit. This process can be time consuming depending on what you are trying to pull off.

 

I am not an expert but I can walk you through either method if you need help. There are also tutorials out there on youtube and other sites made by actual experts.

 

Lastly, if you are looking for a system where any clothing will dynamically fit over any armor, I can almost assure you that will not happen anytime soon if at all. Skyrim doesn't have tools to deal with this process automatically. Doing this manually would be extraordinarily time consuming if it is even possible. You would have to have different meshes for every combination of clothing and armor, and figure out a way for the game to know which mesh to use when.
