Playable versions of single-gender (vanilla) outfits

[BanjoOz]

Obviously this one is a lot of work, but it always bugged me that some outfits were *only* wearable for a specific gender. Sure, most of them were designed to be non-playable companion uniques, but some of them are so awesome it feels like such a shame they are locked off from use by the player or even NPCs of the opposite gender.

 

The ones I've most noted (and in order of preference/necessity) are:

 

1) Armored Jumpsuit

Only used by Raul in the vanilla game, but having a female version of this one mesh would make *any* jumpsuit (RobCo, Red Racer, etc.) "armorable", unlocking a lot of potential. Easily top of my wishlist for a "gender-swapped version"! I suspect it might not even take more than someone with some NifSkope skills to copy over the branch from the armored vault suit and tweak it some around the bust and legs...

 

2) Mysterious Stranger Trencoat

I'm actually surprised nobody ever made a female version of this cool outfit, especially with all the "be the Stranger" mods I remember back before even NV got released. This kind of noir/Blade Runner style outfit is sorely missing from Fallout as it stands, sadly.

 

3) Cass' Outfit

A cool jeans 'n' jacket combo that would make a great 'cowboy' for if a male mesh existed. I'd be pretty much happy with something simple even like a retexture of Daniel's outfit with a jacket added, to be honest.

 

4) Raul's Vaquero Armor

An awesome outfit that could be retextured into anything from a Mariachi to the Three Amigos with a little imagination. A shame there's no female mesh of it, making it useless to the player.

 

5) Boone's 1st Recon Armor

Actually, I've pretty much managed to make a messy combo nif of this that kind of looks close enough for female characters, hence why it's lowest on my list, but having the 'Survival' version with the short sleeves as a female mesh would be fantastic, even without the shoulder patches, as there is no short sleeve mesh for NCR troopers if I recall.

 

As I said, I know some of these would be a pretty big undertaking for someone, but although I'm comfortable modding these games, anything mesh related is beyond my abilities, hence why I wanted to post this request. I also see this as something that would not just be a little thing one person wanted, but any of these meshes being converted/made would add a fantastic resource for all FNV players.

1) There is female version of the jumpsuit here: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39447/?

 

2) This fallout 3 mod contains a female version of the stranger outfit (it's un-pictured but it's there) http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/10375/?

 

3) While not exact this mod uses cass' jacket on a man: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/60632/?

and so does spice of life: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/44476/?

 

4) Sorry can't find this :(

 

5) Dragbody made female meshes for both of boones outfits: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49511/?

You're a legend for that! I very much appreciate you listing all the mods that solve these or at least attempt to.

 

1) Sadly, that's the one I found too, and it's not *actually* an armoured jumpsuit but an armored vault suit with a Petro Chico custom texture. However, the texture works on the vanilla armoured vault suit (female) despite that mod being for a body replacer type. With any other of these, I'd say "that's close enough" but I still would love to see a proper armored version of the vanilla jumpsuit since unlike all the others on my "wishlist", this one is not just one unique outfit but something that would be a very useful modder's resource given how many different jumpsuits are in the game.

 

2) Very awesome find, I am psyched to dig that one out and try it ASAP!

 

3) I really like that Defiant outfit, and IMO using that as the "male" version of Cass' outfit would be fine (reskinned or not); it's close enough thematically IMO and it wouldn't be the only armor that drastically changes between genders (i.e. Sexy Sleepwear). Is Spice of Life just for a male body replacer though?

 

4) Yup, that's the one I suspect will always remain missing. A complex outfit and very specific, so I can understand nobody rushing to make a female version.

 

5) That is perfect! No idea how I missed finding that, it deserves more attention (and IMO is the sort of thing that is borderline "unofficial patch" worthy). At least my practice trying to recreate that armor myself taught me a lot about NifSkope. :smile:

 

Again, big thanks for the reply and all the mod links. Definitely some awesome stuff there, and really only leaves a proper armored jumpsuit and vaquero outfit to be made (and as I said, I can understand if the vaquero one never gets done).
