Hawke Estate Mirror and Outfit Changer
----------------------------------
Updates
8/12/21 - Mirror no longer requires The Black Emporium to use.  Additionally, now that I know a bit more about scripting, I overhauled the scripts to clean them up and make them easier to add new outfits.  There are also now five outfit options in the wardrobe. 

IF YOU ARE UPDATING:  I recommend changing back to the default Home outfit (or whatever replacer you're using) and saving before changing to the new file.  If you've made your own edits to the files, you'll need to redo (or at least re-pack) them.  That said, there's no real need to update to the new file unless you want to add new outfits and are comfortable modifying the scripts.

What It Does
There are two elements to this mod.  The first is that it adds a mirror that works the same as the Mirror of Transformation in The Black Emporium to the Hawke Estate.  (And also to Gamlen's House in Act 1.)  Because I get tired of going there every time I want a new hairstyle.

Secondly, it adds a "Wardrobe" where you can change what Hawke wears in the Hawke Estate.  There are five options you can choose from:  the default Home outfit, Hawke's armor, the Party Outfit from MotA (requires MotA or a Party Outfit replacer to work), and two Noble Clothing outfits that are set up so that they can be swapped out to other outfits easily.

The Wardrobe works by clicking it.  Each time you click it, it will cycle through one of the five outfits.  That outfit will remain in place as Hawke's home outfit until you change it.

Notes
The Wardrobe will work without anything else -- but if you don't have MotA and thus don't have the party clothes, you might end up as a floating head for that outfit.  (However, if you don't have MotA, you can still use a Party Clothes replacer for this outfit, and it should appear.)

If you want to change any of the outfits: the Home and Party Outfit options are going to automatically use whatever replacers you have installed.  To change the fourth and fifth outfits, you'll need a little bit of modding know-how, but you can do it in one of two ways:

1) Change the "apr_base_hawkeestate.gda" in the file to point to different outfits.
2) Swap the "cth_homd.mmh" and "cth_homf.mmh" files with the replacer of your choice.

Shanamah in the comments section has provided more detailed instructions on how to do this!

Compatibility
Should be compatible with all Home and Party Outfit replacers, but if you're using something like Armor at Home, you'll probably just get two Hawke Armor options instead of the Home Outfit option.

Uninstalling
If you want to remove the mod, first, change Hawke back into the default Home Clothing/Home Clothing replacer option at the Wardrobe, save your game, and then uninstall the modThis will prevent you from having issues reloading the save. (Made aware of this thanks to sapphim.)
