I have dropped support on this mod as of Mar. 2, 2025. I do not have time to investigate every little Skypatcher issue anyone might have using this mod as of now.
If you install this mod, you do so at your own risk. Uninstall and load into a previous save without this mod if you run into any CTD episodes when it's in your LO.
Overview
This is an overhaul of sforzinda's Fashions of the Fourth Era outfit and leveled list distribution by adapting its scripted injection into SPID and SkyPatcher. Although the original mod proper does not have a script source to analyze, anendlesspit's earlier unscripted patch clearly defines all of FotFE's record edits while also making the distribution less weighted towards its own outfits, which have also been brought over here.
I've also included a replacement ESP with the following changes:
Included from 1.1+ is another SkyPatcher ini to facilitate editing the spawn chances of many townspeople clothing parts if you believe certain parts still spawn too frequently/rarely.
Installation
The main archive includes SPID inis, SkyPatcher inis, the replacement ESP, and another ESP for defining all outfits separately. Install as normal through your mod manager and enable both ESPs. The outfit ESP may go anywhere below the replacement in your load order as it does nothing by itself in-game.
Compatibility
Retexture and mesh mods are compatible; none of the armor add-on nor texture records have been modified at all in the replacer ESP.
This mod is incompatible with other ESP patches to FotFE present on Nexus due to its reliance on compressing the mod's forms in order to ESPFE flag it, and using the compressed forms throughout this mod's distribution files.

Although the original mod proper does not have a script source to analyze, anendlesspit's earlier unscripted patch clearly defines all of FotFE's record edits while also making the distribution less weighted towards its own outfits, which have also been brought over here.
I've also included a replacement ESP with the following changes:
- Compressed forms and ESPFE flagged
- Quest record has been completely removed
- All cell edits for the crafting books have been removed. They are still craftable with a paper roll, leather strips, and leather each at a tanning rack.
- Integrated isaonhieno's Less Hats so hats/hoods will only spawn about 10% of the time on townspeople that would normally get a hat to begin with
- Many of the vanilla outfit edits in FotFE replaced no hat variants with a single outfit record that could produce a hat/hood for that NPC; coupling this with the 25-35% chance for a hat to spawn is what I believe to be the main cause of the mod's infamous "Hat Plague" due to how often these outfits are used among vanilla NPCs.
- To further counteract the frequency of FotFE's hats, I've created outfit records that explicitly exclude a hat/hood and binded them to their vanilla no hat variant outfits while retaining the 10% chance for a hat on variants that always had hats in vanilla (e.g. FarmClothesOutfit01 will never get a hat, but FarmClothesOutfit01WithHat still has a 10% chance to get a hat).
- Hats will never spawn on barkeeper outfits now
- A 50% chance for no prisoner/beggar shoes has been added to compromise between vanilla's separate no shoes outfits and FotFE always adding them. These aren't as egregious as the Hat Plague, but if you ask me, I personally believe every beggar in Skyrim happening across a pair of sandals or fur shoes alongside the usual rags is also a bit much...
- FotFE had a habit of separately defining its outfit record contents in a leveled list entry that then contains the actual outfit contents...which were even more sublists more often than not. I've cut the middle man out in the outfits by directly defining everything in them instead of passing the contents through redundant leveled list records.
- Sybille Stentor's custom outfit now uses the unarmored Vermilion Robes instead of its light armor counterpart
- Fixed FOTFEaccessoriesHeadHood05CRAFT so it actually crafts Hood 5 and requires a vanilla Linen Wrap instead of the mod's Linen Wrap record (that record has also been purged)
Included from 1.1+ is another SkyPatcher ini to facilitate editing the spawn chances of many townspeople clothing parts if you believe certain parts still spawn too frequently/rarely.
