LE Radiant Radiance!

Ever thought it was immersion breaking that everybody looks exactly the same, every day? Everyone wears the same clothes? Everyone's face looks exactly the same? I mean ... some things, like nose shape and eye color, cannot be changed. Other things, like war paint, or if your hair is frizzy and uncombed, can certainly change from day to day.

 

If such a thing is even doable, given the nature of Skyrim's scripting, can somebody make a mod that does the following this:

 

1. Make more than just four outfits per social class (this should be the easiest to manage, since it basically boils down to a pallete swap of existing clothes. Hell, you could even make leather or guard armors look like clothes if you do it right).

2. Have NPCs wear different garments every day, unless they're beggars (since it makes sense that they only have one change of clothes). The garments they choose would be randomly selected from their wardrobe, with one exception: Unless they only have one article of clothing for an apparel slot (e.g. middle class having only one pair of shoes), they cannot wear the same article of clothing two days in a row.

3. Have changeable facial features (such as war paint, dirt, and hair and beard shape and length ... possibly even hair color, if you have an idea to make hair dye lore-friendly) change from day to day.

4. Hair and beards would become progressively longer, and progressively more uncombed, the longer you stay outside a city, town, or settlement. Meanwhile, dirt would become progressively more prominent on your character's body until they spend a night in an inn, or until they wash it off when going for a swim (Note: If you have Frostfall installed, it would be most recommended to restrict your use of this feature to the volcanic springs of Eastmarch).

5. Cause war paint to gradually shrink down as they fight for long periods of time (such as if Aela the Huntress is your follower, and you're running through a large dungeon together), which would respawn if you're out of combat for a long period of time (the implication being that they're re-applying their war paint in order to look more menacing).

 

I hope this is doable. Any takers?

skyrim really lacks style and variety, some mods help fixing that like common clothes, vanity mirror and five-o-clock shadow, but i feel that its not enought yet, we do need a mod that add more variation to the world. i really like the idea of increasing dirtness it whould be a very nice touch to the game.
