Accessorize Your Life -- Jewelry and Clothing Options for Modded Armors
Please be sure to read the instructions, as this one requires other mods, and has a bit of a learning curve!

Updates 2-21-20:
Updated file to add a few Witcher 3 crowns, because that's super practical to be running around Kirkwall in.  Please pretend the "Sapphire" one is actually sapphire colored.  (I'm aware it's really not.)

Updates 12-1-19:
File has been updated with new accessories -- two new colors for the Ardent Blossom/Hair Flowers, a few earring variants, and even more flowers for your hair.  Please note: if you're using one of the alternate placements for the Ardent Blossom, you'll need to update those files, as well, for the new flower colors to work.

What This Is:
This mod adds a number of accessory options for FemHawke to go along with my armor mods.  Because of the way the game works, this mod can ONLY be used with specific armors.  Mage/Rogue/Warrior variants included.

What It Does:
The accessories that are added use either the Gloves or Boots equipment slot.  Since all of my armors use a fully body mesh instead of separate gloves and boots pieces, this allows you to wear whatever boots or gloves you want and maintain the armor's look -- so I decided to take advantage of those unused slots and place other things into them!

The accessories will work with all of my armor ports, and dunmr was kind enough to let me include some modified files for their armors, as well.  (List of all the armors will be at the bottom.)

Instructions:
-- Have a compatible armor mod.
-- Place Accessorize Your Life in your Override folder.
-- dunmr's armor addon is included but is optional.  Place this in your Override along with the main file if you want to use it.
-- Use the console scripts to spawn the items in your inventory.
-- ONLY use the included Accessories with compatible armors.
-- Mix and match your accessories by using the glove and boot slots.
-- Use the "Boots - Empty Slot" or "Gloves - Empty Slot" items when you don't want to accessorize.

Warnings:
Using any of the accessories with non-compatible armors will result in one of two things:  the accessories won't appear, or your hands or feet will disappear.  LIKE THIS!



(Look, ma!  No hands!) (I have definitely made this joke before.)

ADDITIONALLY:  The Blank Items are intended to be used when you're not accessorizing.  If you are using AYL and leave the Gloves or Boots slot empty, this will result in "extra" hands and feet appearing and your armor looking wrong.  BE CERTAIN TO ALWAYS HAVE AN ITEM IN BOTH THE GLOVES AND BOOTS SLOT when using this mod -- either an accessory or one of the Blank Items.

Included Accessories:

Gloves Slot:
-- Ardent Blossom
-- Hair Flowers (right side and left side)
-- Witcher Circlet
-- Isabela's hat from DAI

Boots Slot:
-- Isabela Jewelry variants
-- Witcher Lute
-- Paper Lantern

Scripts
There are a truly intense number of items, so I made a number of scripts to make it modular and hopefully a bit more user friendly.

Mage Variant Scripts:
get_mage_accessories (ALL items)
get_mage_flowers  (all of the ardent blossom variants)
get_mage_jewelry  (jewelry variants and circlet)
get_mage_misc  (Isabela's hat, the lutes, the lantern, and the blank items)
get_mage_blank  (in case you need extra)

Rogue Variant Scripts:
get_rogue_accessories
get_rogue_flowers
get_rogue_jewelry
get_rogue_misc
get_rogue_blank


Warrior Variant Scripts:
get_warrior_accessories
get_warrior_flowers
get_warrior_jewelry
get_warrior_misc
get_warrior_blank

12-1 Updated Additional Accessories:
get_mage_addon
get_rogue_addon
get_warrior_addon

2-21 Updated Accessories:
get_mage_crowns
get_rogue_crowns
get_warrior_crowns


Notes:
The Blank Item variants are included because this modifies the compatible armors to make gloves and boots visible.  That means if you're using the mod and not wearing any of the accessories, you're going to have extra sets of hands and feet hanging around.  Placing the Empty Slot items in the boots and gloves spots will erase them.  This is ESPECIALLY important if you're using any of dunmr's male armors -- since I don't currently have any MHawke compatible accessories, you're going to want to use the blank items there when necessary.

I did my best to position the meshes so that they'd work with different presets and armors -- but please be aware that there is always going to be some clipping.  I've also included two alternate positionings of the Ardent Blossom, if the one in the main file doesn't work for your hair.  If you want to use the lute, I'd also recommend using a Hide Weapons mod, because they're all going to clip through it otherwise.

If you know how to edit GDAs, you can make other armors compatible, provided the armors contain a full body mesh.  You just need to change the equipmask from 3 to 0.

dunmr for letting me make their armors compatible and giving this more use!  And also because they also had made an accessories mod that I completely forgot about because my memory is a sieve, apparently.
