A thing which has always slightly annoyed me, underwear.

[SaltierSalad]

Interesting title, I know, but it's true I promise.

 

I've always been slightly annoyed at how every person in the wasteland has the same white underwear, and while sure, you can get a universal replacer that's not what I'm looking for.

 

My idea is to have a mod which can give characters randomly colored underwear, some having dirty underwear, some clean and with something like CBBE compatibility, some having no underwear at all.

 

This is an extremely petty thing which I'm sure most people don't care about, but, I do and if it's even possible to make this (Since as far as I'm aware, underwear are a part of the full body texture in fallout 4, therefore random texture for each character model and there are quite a few of those in game.) I would enjoy having it a lot.

 

Thanks for reading this petty request!

as far as how many textures there are, you're kinda off there. There's pretty much just two for each humanoid race. Male and female. The rest are layers that are added onto it like stickers. with different tones added to the base color to make different skin colors.

so that theory wouldnt pan out.

 

However, if somebody were to go with a nude body texture as a base, make different underwears as different stickers, and then a script to randomize the stickers upon actor generation, that could theoretically work. However it might also clash with the dirt and or blood decals.

 

there is this mod, but it's not what you're looking for. It's a craftable item that you would have to manually add to the actors via the trade menu. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3985 it has options in it for different underwears.

Yeah, it's not quite what I'm looking for, but it's neat regardless.

And thanks for the info on how that works too, seems a bit more effective that it works that way I suppose.

Yeah, that mod would be too much manual work, and it would be incompatible with regular clothes.

Thinking back on it, in hindsight... I'm wondering if multiple base textures would be possible or not. If they're controlled by scripts.

I can't say for sure or not, I'm not familiar with it. But I'm thinking that if it were done that way, that it might require a route kinda like unique npcs, where they're set to use a different body source than the player character. As changes to the Player Character translate over to NPC's of the same gender/race because of asset sharing.

hmmm.

 

No problem :) It's an interesting theory. I wish I knew more about how this game uses the scripts, it would be interesting to see how it goes!
