- 02/12/2015: Repackaging using DAI Mod Tool 1.21. Loading speed is similar to vanilla game. MIP level and texture streaming also fixed which should help with the occasionnal very slow loading between some scenes.

---------------------

This MOD allows armor that never changed color/textures previously to now be changed by the material you use use in your crafting. The cloth or leather you select will change the look of more parts of the overall armor than before. It doesn't affect the number or the type of material you can use or the stats, just the look.

It works  for Human Male and Female and Elf Female but has a limited influence for other races as well. The Skyhold jammies are 100% compatible with crafting which means all of it will be affected by crafting.

Installation:
- You will need the MOD Manager to install it.
- Remove previous version prior to installing a new one
- Unzip "LL Armor Crafting" in your mod folder
- Unzip the "LL Skyhold Clothing" packages somewhere on your drive
- Copy in your mod folder ONLY ONE daimod variation. Since each of the gender/race variations modifies the same ebx file, installing 2 at the same time can have unpredictable results.
- Follow the instructions for the MOD Manager.

Note:  The "LL_Skyhold_Clothing"  packages are separated from the main file so you can use another Skyhold Jammies rexturing if you like. Be warn though that using other jammies than one of mine may limit the armor parts you can change. That is particulary true for the Light Armors.

Mods with patch 6 
Zhentar has published a fix to DAI MOD MANAGER that allows us to use mods with Patch 6. 
Here's the original post: http://www.reddit.com/r/dragonage/comments/317dkg/no_spoilersannouncement_how_to_run_mods_with/

Part 1 - Setting up the game folders
------------------------------------------------------
1) In the "Update" folder of your game, make a copy the folder "Patch" and named it "Vanilla_v6". It's now your backup copy of Patch 6 in case you need a fresh one.
2) Before doing a merge always make sure you have a fresh copy of the Patch 6 in your Patch folder.

Part 2 - Merging the mods
----------------------------------------
3) In your DAI Mod Manager folder, delete the Patch.daimod.
3A) If you do not have a Patch.daimod file in your DAI Mod Manager folder, execute step 5 once. You can delete the merged files created, you will not need them. Go back to step 3, you should now have a Patch.daimod.
4) Replace it by Patch.daimod created by Zhentar. You can download it here in the file section or on the original post mentionned above.
5) Launch DAI MoD Manager, select the mods you want to merge then hit "Merge". You can save the result whereever you want. In my case I use \Documents\BioWare\MERGED.

IMPORTANT
- DO NOT use the "Force Rescan" option. It will override the fix and your mods will not work with Patch 6. 

Part 3 - Using the mods
-------------------------------------
6) Copy the Data folder and the package.mft file that DMM just created
7) Paste it in the "Patch" folder created at step 1
8) Launch the game and enjoy your mods once more!


Rolling back to patch 5
If you already updated to Patch 6 and want to go back to patch 5, follow these instructions. 
PLEASE NOTE that by doing so, you will not be able to play Jaws of Hakkon DLC or have the fixes in patch 6. You will however be able to run mods again.

Part 1 - Setting up the game folders
------------------------------------------------------
1) In the "Update" folder of your game, Rename the folder "Patch" to "Vanilla_v6";
2) Create a new folder and named it "Patch";
3) If you have a copy of the patch 5, put the Data folder and the package.mft file in that newly created "Patch" folder
4) Make a copy of the Patch folder now containing the patch 5 and named it Vanilla_v5. It's now your backup copy of patch 5 in case you need a fresh one.

Part 2 - Merging the mods
----------------------------------------
5) In your DAI Mod Manager folder, delete the Patch.daimod. This step is required only the first time you merged files after rolling back to patch 5.
6) Launch DAI MoD Manager, select the mods you want to merge then hit "Merge". You can save the result whereever you want. In my case I use \Documents\BioWare\MERGED

Part 3 - Using the mods
-------------------------------------
7) Copy the Data folder and the package.mft file that DMM just created
8) Paste it in the "Patch" folder created at step 2
9) Launch the game and enjoy your mods once more!

IMPORTANT: 
Whenever you'll need to merge mods again, first copy/paste the content of the Vanilla_v5 folder in the Patch folder then run steps 5 to 9

If you want to go back to using Patch 6, copy/paste the content of Vanilla_v6 in the Patch folder. You will not be able to use mods but will be able to play the DLC.
