This mod replaces the appearance of your armor with the Orlesian armor of your choice. Stats are still kept for the armor you are actually using. Replacers are for Hawke (armor and finery), Anders, Aveline, Bethany, Carver, Isabela, Merrill, and Sebastian.

This mod is compatible with the Equip Your Party mod. If you are using EYP you will need to move EYP from your documents override directory to your program files override directory located here:
C:\Program Files\Dragon Age 2\packages\core\override
This is to make sure EYP loads before Orlesian Outfitters. Please note you do not need EYP for this mod to work.

This mod requires the main file from both of the following mods by Aremeta to work:
Orlesian Noble Hunting Armor
Orlesian Noble Light Armor

=====

The following is ONLY for Hawke's main armor replacer. The replacer for Hawke's main armor will only work for new games. This is because the required files are only loaded at the creation of a new game. Using the main armor file after the game has been started will have no effect so you must have it installed in your override directory before starting a new game. During the game you can switch between all the different Orlesian main armor replacers freely. If you accidentally switch to the other gender (male vs female) you'll get an invisible body. Note: The main armor replacer uses a unique body model so if you remove the main armor file without replacing it with another one your game won't load because this unique model is now missing. If that happens put any main armor file back into your override and your game will work again. This limitation only applies to games started with the main armor file installed and won't effect any other games. Only one main armor file can be installed at any given time regardless of the gender. Also, the main armor replacer does not effect the Hawke model within the Party Picker. So when looking at the Party Picker you'll see what your Hawke is actually wearing and will help you to remember when you need to upgrade your armor.

Read the comments section for tips and tricks regarding Hawke's main armor and using the pyGFF Editor.

If you have any finery mods installed you will need to remove those if you wish to use the Orlesian finery replacers included in this mod.

Use only one armor file for each character. The files follow Aremeta's naming scheme.

Known issues:
Some versions of the hunting armor may glow slightly in very small areas. There is no fix for this. There is no hunting armor model available for elves so only the light armor is available to Merrill. No armor models are available for Fenris or Varric.

=====

Known conflicts:
Leaving EYP in the documents override. Using any other Hawke finery mod. Using any mod that changes the companion's model number in APR_BASE. Using any mod that uses 25 in the APR_BASE (main armor only).
