So I had an idea for a mod that I would love to see but I am unable to make it myself. I loved the skimpy armor replacements but they seem so unnatural and unearned. So I was thinking that as the dragonborn becomes more powerful and influential they could use that influence to more and more revealing appeal. I was thinking of splitting it up by guilds, war factions and holds primarily with some specific options for bandits and the dlc factions. Each guild and hold would act independently of each other. I was thinking that there would be several tiers of skimpy by using multiple replacement mods, (with the creators permtion of course) staring with the cbbe vanilla armor and ending with full nudity or nearly so. As the player did more quests for that faction or hold more options would be available for the player and they could revert back to any stage of skimpy that they pleased by accessing a specific book. Both sexes would have options for skimpification. It would be entirely up to the player The player could also change the spawn rate of male or female guards this way too. I would do this in a lore friendly way by telling the steward to only hire male or female guards. I was thinking of tying tiers of skimpiness for the holds with being a thane at first with the ability to trade in repeatable bounties (like kill a giant or a bandit) with the steward for a change in policy regarding clothing. Later tiers would be being unlocked by conquering or liberating the city during the civil war. I think the guilds would be a lot more straight forward. Simply once you become faction leader, you could order a new dress code and as you do more quests for that guild, you unlock new tiers. for the vampires and dawnguard maybe a tome in Valerica's alchemy room that made the faction you didn't side with wear less and put a journal that explained it to make it lore friendly. I think the stormcloaks and imperials along with the thalmor should be tied to the civil war. I don't know how to do this with the bandits that would be lore friendly. I think that one would require its own quest line. While I cannot create a truly lore friendly reason for bikinis replacing steel plating, I am hoping to a create a framework that can help explain why people are wearing skimpier clothes and in turn make them a little less jarring. I played around with the creation kit for a few days but I've never uploaded a mod onto the nexus before and i quickly realized that this was something i couldn't do by myself. Please let me know if this project is something that you would be interested in or if it is even possible.
