About this mod

Conversions of the DA2 and DAI elf clothing to Origins,
New version of AdmiralAlbia's Elves of Ferelden.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This is an updated version and replacer for AdmiralAlbia's wonderful Elves of Ferelden mod. 

It takes some different approaches to the outfits- if you would prefer a 1:1 bugfix of the original mod, check out the lod and texture fixpack I made instead.
Alternately, check ovinnik's profile for the original Elves of Ferelden HD (taken down because of nexus policy change).


This mod has:
  • Proportion tweaks to make the outfits more similar to standard Origins clothing- mostly seen in bigger shoulders, thicker waists and larger hands
  • 2k textures
  • LODs
  • Fixed MAOs and tints
  • Fixed starting equipment for the city elf
  • A few different or removed UTCs and items

Requirements

Contains
EF
The 3 Original styles

EM
The 2 Original styles with a new one from DA:I

Plus additional models courtesy of Shanamah.

UTC
Mostly the same as the original. See below for full list of changes.

UTI
Mostly the same outfits as the original mod, plus a few extra.

UTCs
For a detailed list of changes, components and list of what people are wearing, please read the documentation of the original mod (included as a truncated article on this mod).

The mages
I segregated off the UTCs for the Dalish mages into their own folder. So if you don't want those changes or you have a different mod that puts them in something else, you can more easily replace or delete them.

Nature of The Beast
Cammen is back to wearing light hunter armour instead of casual clothing.

Orzammar
Proving Dwarf is no longer wearing Dalish Armour.

Camp
Dalish emissary now has gloves.

Awakening

Seranni UTCs removed, now she is back to the base game's Medium Splintmail.
Velanna's outfit .uti has been removed, so it is back to its vanilla appearance.

Witch Hunt
Ariane’s helmet has been moved to her inventory.


Potential Conflicts
Other files may have alternate model, UTI or UTC files for the same characters or items. This mod's folder has a low title alphabetically, so it should overwrite them.

  • Any UTC or UTI files that have duplicates in this mod. Other versions of Elves of Ferelden should be fine though. Just use those UTCs instead of these ones.
  • For tmp7704's elf proportions/elf update: in the da2_elf-proportions\ef\clothing folder, you may wish to delete ef_cth_come_0.mmh, ef_cth_comf_0.mmh, ef_cth_comb_0.mmh, ef_cth_comd_0.mmh, ef_cth_comg_0.mmh, ef_cth_comk_0.mmh

Don't delete any UTC files/fixes for circle elves from any of your headmorph or utc mods, as this mod doesn't change the circle elves.


Known Issues
-A lot of the outfits are lacking icons, this doesn't seem to affect them otherwise.
- The outfits are not recognised by Universal Dye Kit. This is unlikely to change.

How to Install

Make sure you have all the requirements listed. The 4GB patch for your .exe is recommended.
Download, unzip and place folder into your My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override folder.

To get elf clothes in your in game inventory, type runscript get_elf_city or runscript get_elf_dalish into your console.

If you're installing this from a different version of Elves of Ferelden mid-playthrough,  I would recommend leaving the UTC files you already have alone and just installing the other sections of this mod. If you want to use other mod's UTIs, overwrite the folder so the new added ones aren't deleted.

Note that the clothes in your existing saves will use the tints from any older versions you had installed, as the materials are baked into the save. The new UTI are basically just non shiny versions of the original though, so it's not that big a change to be concerned about.

For any UTC problems(naked characters, unequipped characters, or characters wearing the wrong thing) please check the comment pages from the original mods, as these are not my UTCs and I have simply repackaged them. This character equip script may help if you have naked characters.
