Different underwear for different characters - possible?

[AfriCanuckinOz]

I really like the idea of the mod "Nude Variety v4 Custom Bodies for All"

https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/1478?tab=description.

 

But the problem is that it is broken somehow, and causes the game to crash on start up (every time)

 

Anybody have any suggestion how I could mod the UTC file of some npc's (e.g. Leliana and Morigan) so the wear different sets of underwear (from the Lingerie series or Pink Transparent)?

 

Thanks, any help appreciated

Short answer: Nope. No way to do that with just a UTC edit.

 

Bonus pedantic, long, incoherent, TMI, tl; dr answer: You can't mod a UTC to include an asset that doesn't exist: there is only one 'nude' body model per race and gender for each possible appearance (with each equippable armour and clothing being a distinct race+ gender model); all human females (apart from the odd NPC with the 'fat' mesh) use the same nude/underwear model, reskinned or not, per your install. (In DAO, 'underwear' is not an equippable item, it's a whole-body texture for the *nuda* meshes.)

 

So, you'd first need to create a unique 'morrigan' nude body, a unique 'leliana' nude model, etc. and add them to the available assets. Then you could edit the UTCs to call your new models, rather than the default 'Human Female'.

 

For an idea of what adding additional unique models would entail, take a look at DarthParametric's children's 'clothing' modder's resource. (Can't recall the exact name offhand, but it should be here on the Nexus.)

Thanks for the great explanation.

I don't think I need the diversity THAT much. Way too much work involved. :nuke: *sigh*
