This is a compatibility mod for "Female Noble Clothing Overhaul" (FNCO) by eudodo and "Noble Dress Overhaul" (NDO) by yixura (or any other mod that changes noble dresses) to give you maximum noble dress variety! 

This mod assigns the clothing textures from FNCO their own, unique item variations, so they no longer conflict with NDO.

I then assigned the FNCO textures to specific NPCs that I think they work the best on (usually named human and elf NPCs, leaving the generic NPCs and dwarves for NBO. I felt the designs were not particularly dwarfy, so I excluded those NPCs). I also changed Elf_Bridesmaid2 to wear a nice but still commoner looking dress.

INSTRUCTIONS 
~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) Download the "Female Noble Clothing Overhaul" mod by eudodo and "Noble Dress Overhaul" mod by yixura and place them in your override folder with the rest of your mods.

2) Rename the "Female Noble Clothing Overhaul" files ending in ".dds" and change EVERY instance of "nbl" to "fnc". 
   You will need to do this for every .dds file included with the FNCO mod. 
   For example, change "pf_cth_nblb_0d.dds" to "pf_cth_fncb_0d.dds".

3) Drop this folder into the override! 

Here's an example of step 2:

COMPATIBILITY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This compatibility patch uses the Item Variation IDs 161, 162, 163, 175, and 176. If another mod uses these ID numbers or edits the clothing of the NPCs named in the NPC folder, they will conflict.

This patch will likely override NPC clothing edits (like "Improved Atmosphere") without any problems but any "item variation number" conflicts will cause the NPCs to look weird. 

You can use the resources here to resolve any item variation conflicts fairly easily: https://kinlochhold.tumblr.com/post/137349892157/how-to-eliminate-item variation-conflicts 

I also like to use the "Unique Characters Overhaul" mod which changes Isolde's dress to one from the "Back to Fereldan"--If you would prefer that dress over the one from FNCO, delete the files for Isolde (epi200cr_isolde.utc and arl100cr_isolde.utc) included in the NPC folder of this mod.

This mod does not contain the files from either "Female Noble Clothing Overhaul" or "Noble Dress Overhaul," it merely makes the two compatible. Please download those from their respective authors!

Feel free to share, edit, repackage, whatever, this mod! Just please credit me and of course the original authors of the respective dress mods. Thanks!
