About this mod
Swaps every advisor/companion to be wearing a unique mesh set during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, for use with other armour swaps and retextures. Does not affect the Inquisitor.

WEWH Armour Swap Utility
If you’re already used to making these kind of swap mods, this will make sense to you. If you’re not already used to making these kind of swap mods, go and watch Padme4000’s Frosty DAI Character Swap/Bundle EditTutorial first as that’s how I learned and these references should make sense to you after.

IMPORTANT: This is only for WEWH! I haven’t touched Trespasser. Yet.
(Only the advisors would need changing for that anyway, but if these bundles will load there you would probably want to swap Leliana for the circle robes I used on Sera there if relevant as I imagine that chantry mesh is being used by several NPCs)
Also, I used followers unequipped meshes where possible toallow you combine follower PJ retextures with this for ease of use. Unfortunately, Sera, Cole, and the Advisors didn’t want to play along with that.
(Cole has an excuse: he’s never in Redcliff castle and coming from a software dev perspective I figured loading a minimum number of additional bundles would
be better for performance; no one likes lag and T-posing after all. Sera however is just being an ass).

This is my first time making a swap mod like this so all I can really say is “it worked for me” and hope it will be useful to others.
Putting it out there as a modders resource, which is why I included the fbproject file in the zip. The outfits weren’t chosen for aesthetic reasons, they were chosen to put everyone in a unique mesh that would allow for individual mesh swaps.
I will be working on my own mesh swaps and retextures in the future (now that I can make everyone unique it will be a while, because I’m going to go wild with it in the spirit of this fan art I saw years back that has never left my mind), but I know enough people have been trying with this who might find it useful in the meantime. The above information should be enough to let you create compatible modular swaps if you don’t want to change literally everyone like I do.

If anyone needs that info for debugging purposes. I don't keep up with the tools nearly often enough but I know what they're capable of can vary quite a lot with each release.
