nerdofprey Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I realized just now when looking at some images of towns & villages that a certain fixture of everyday life was conspicuously missing: Clotheslines. Something could probably be cobbled together in the Creation Kit using existing ropes, posts and retextured banners (which have a nice flapping-in-the-breeze animation built in), but somebody with decent mesh editing skills might be able to make something more convincing. They could either be added to different cities/ towns / farmlands by hand or just uploaded as a modders' resource for people who make more complex edits to those places. Or both! If somebody wanted to get REALLY crazy with it, they could be built so you could steal clothes right off of them and equip them. That would be a whole lot of work to score the Dragonborn some farmers' clothes, though. And to be more accurate, it probably wouldn't be full outfits on there... more like various types of plain underclothes. Maybe bed sheets. Stuff like that. People in that climate want to layer up, and probably don't waste time washing their overcoats. Even with custom-built meshes, I'd lean toward doing the clothes as 2D objects (like the banners) just in the name of not murdering everybody's framerate. I feel like this would be a HUGE hit with all the immersion buffs. If nobody jumps on this, I might eventually try the cheesy cobble-something-together approach.

nerdofprey Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hey, those are all right. Wouldn't have occurred to me to look there. So it's just a matter of integrating them into the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyhome Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think Dawn of Riften has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdofprey Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 It looks like those objects have seen some use in custom house mods, and i think you might be right about Dawn of Riften using them. I'm more interested in adding them around farmhouses and other settlements out in the open world. I probably won't touch city interiors or other frequently-modded areas, just to avoid conflicts. I'm going to get to work on this today, and hopefully have an early version out really soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
