About this mod

Distributes suitable, lore firendly outfits to members of the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood from the Divine Elegance Store in a highy configurable and easy to use SPID

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Ever found it strange that all these members of secret organisations all wear easily identifiable uniforms? The Dragonborn is allowed to wear what he likes and now, so can they!

Flagged as Light

Varied Attire
This mod distributes suitable outfits from "Apachii Divine Elegance Store" to members of the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. Most members only have a small chance (33%) to use a custom outfit, so most people in the guilds will keep their usual armor with this mod only adding subtle variation. For most of the screenshots I turned this up way higher for illustration purposes-it wont look like that in game!

This mod contains 11 outfits, which are assigned to pools that NPCs pick from. This gives both guilds a varied wardrobe to choose from

These pools are:
Robes suitable for casters and poisoners
Rough Leather Armor with chainmail sleeves with or without hood
Armor for thieves and thugs
Armor for a fancier thief

Unique NPCs
Each unique member of both factions has a handpicked pool most suitable to their character. Each has their own line in the DISTR file, so you can tweak the chances and what armor they can get. You can see the same NPCs using different outfits in the screenshots.

Generic, Mod added, and Faction NPCs
Generic faction members are also included so all mods that use these factions are supported. Tested with Interesting NPCs and others.
Generic unnamed Thieves, Thugs and Assasins will also have a small chance to get the armor (33%)

Bandits
Bandits also have a small chance to get these sets (1-2%), theres more chance to see Divine Elegance out in the wild. (but only the lore friendly ones)
Bandits are further spearated into one handed, two handed, and marksman types, each with their own probabilites. By default ranged bandits are more likely to be given the leather Jerkin options (2% and 1% for melee), whilst melee bandits are more likely to get the black chainmail jerkin (2% and 1% for bowmen)

Configuration
Making the DISTR easy to configure is a top priority, SPID is amazing for on-the-fly adjustments so I want to use it. It uses keywords for improved readability- you dont need to know the refID numbers for the DITSR file to make sense. Keywords created using RowanMaBoot's great Core Framework and is a requirement.

DISTR file is laid out clearly, with unique NPCs, Generic NPCs for both factions separated and bandits. If you think the Dark Brotherhood deserves their vanilla uniform, just comment out (;) their section, its all grouped together and labeled for your convenience!

A Google Sheet is also included if you wish to adjust the probabilities of each pool

Optional Files
I also have added a patch for to add Bandoliers by Dragten incase you'd like that. It isnt perfect as they float above the armor slightly. This is an issue with that mod and is to avoid clipping with most armors and is why it is optional here.

Requirements
Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) - This mod will not work without this
RMB SPIDified - Core - This mod uses this framework
Apachii Divine Elegance Store - This mod creates outfits from items in that mod
OPTIONAL - Bandolier - Bags and Pouches Classic - Only required if you use the additional file to include these in the outfits

Recommended
Something like Visual Studio Code to view .ini files, its more easy to make changes and spot mistakes than notepad
More Informative Console to see any keywords that have been assigned, useful for debugging and understanding how SPIDs work
Cut the Fat - Slightly Less Divine Elegance to remove locations, NPCs and crafting recipes from the game but keep the items so SPID can distribute them
Cut The Crap - Immersive Mod Item Names and More to create more lore friendly names for Divine Elegance items
Better Shrouded Armor Mesh Fixes and Additions The Shrouded Armor replacer I use (and best IMO)
Better Shrouded Robes Removes disco pyjamas

Compatibility
This is a SPID file, so is compatible with most mods. However will conflict with SPID DISTRs that give outfits to Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood members. Most NPCs affected by this mod only have a low chance of distribution, so if this DISTR runs after others it should play nicely.
Using my other SPID mod, Arvel recieves that armor 100% of the time and sometimes gets armor from this mod 33% of the time.
Additionally you can always add those outfits to the pools in this mod

To Do
I intend to add more outfits to this from other mods, but for now and to keep requirements low, this is what I have
