Description
===========

I was always put off by the fact that 90% of the population seemed to wear the exact same armor/clothing with the exact same hat as everyone else, the end of the world may have happened but that doesn't mean everyone found and wears the exact same piece of clothing.

This mod aims to try and lessen this issue by adding more clothing/armor variety into the wasteland through the use of level lists.

This mod includes:

Backpacks: 11
Gloves: 21
Headgear: 64
Armors/Clothing: 32
Poncho: 9

=====================
FAQ / Troubleshooting
=====================

Q. Will this work with Vanilla bodies?
A. No it will not work right, you will get splotches and skin issues if you use vanilla bodies with this mod.

Q: Why are all the items invisible/or a red !?
A: You did not install the mod correctly, please take a moment to read through the installation section.

Q: My game crashes on start up.
A: You have installed a mod that does not have the required master installed. Please take some time and read through the plugin section.

Q: Where do you get the items in game?
A: You can find all items (but one) in game on random NPCs and through Vendors, the Zombieland outfit is only found in Chet's store and rarely on other vendors.
A: If you use Player only version you can find all the items in some chests in Goodsprings. See picture for location.

Q: How long does it take for the items to show up in game?
A: About 4 days waiting will reset all NPC spawns that have already spawned, if you enter a new area that you have not been in before it should work right away.

Q. What about type 6?
A. Yes it will work with type 6 because they use the same textures as Type3.

Q. Does this work with the pipboy?
A. Yes, the new update makes it pipboy compatible.

Q. Why do some of the Project Nevada items take up the headband slot when they do not need to?
A. That is a requirement for some of the effects to work.

Q. Will this work with mods like Fook and Project Nevada?
A. It should work with mods that edit the level lists just put the mod you want to work last (or use a bashed/merged patch). Make sure you grab the PN patch.

Q: Is this mod compatible with?
A. If the mod adds items to the same level lists then it will conflict, nothing game breaking will happen simply which ever mod is lower in the load order will show up on that NPC. Try making a bashed or merged patch for best compatibility.

Q. Why do the gloves clip or have a gap?
A. That is just how the gloves where made, its a vanilla issue.

Q. Where can I find the Zombieland outfit or its not showing up at the store.
A. It is the only thing in this mod you can NOT find in the world level lists, you can buy it in Chet's store and possibly other stores as well if your lucky.

Q. Do the boobs bounce?
A. No.

Q. I think a item is unbalanced.
A. Please either post or pm me.

Q. Will you make this for FO3?
A. That is hard to say right now, this mod uses a ton of NV assets I would have to remove them and edit everything... we will see.

Nivea (me): For taking the time to put together the resources of other modders, for making male or female versions of most the resources that had none. Also for making new armors/clothing/icons along with new textures or normal maps for other armors in the mod as well as reducing the poly count, and making all new ground meshes for all armors.

tumbajamba: For the large amount of armors and item I used from many of his FO3 mods namely, Brutal Raider Outfit, Raider Leather Armor, Metal armor variation, Scavenger Armors.

I forgot to add Kendo 2 to the Breeze credit readme, I used his awesome BIG BOY for Breeze Male body. Its higher poly and looks much nicer. When I update the mod next your name will be in the readmes. :)
