[PaoloCommando]

Hey guys, So I want to make like a merlin from 7 deadly sins type character, and want to have keo's skimpy outfit replacer, But I want the changes to be made to my player only, is it possible? Thanks.

This could be done. But it would require a bit of scripting. There is no way to make it so that a "replacer" only applies to the player character. However, if you build the "replacer" as standalone armors instead and then create a papyrus script that is attached to the pc via creation kit and has a trigger for when something is equipped, then you could force swap the vanilla piece you equip for the standalone replacer piece via script based on the equipped items name. This is a non-trivial problem which is why there hasn't been a mod that does this automatically yet

Alternatively, create new armor records and armor addon records that use the desired meshes and textures from the other mods (make renamed copies preferably in your own sub folders). Either place the armor items somewhere to pick them up in the game world or make them craftable. No need to get fancy or complicated with scripts. Just make sure that your version of the gear is not in any leveled lists or assigned directly to NPCs. After that you can uninstall the source mods, if you no longer wish to use them.
