Oldrim version (without update 1.2): https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52356
While playing as a vampire I got motivated to update this oldrim mod of mine. Today I learned a few things about Calientes Outfit Studio, like how to change weights.
Version 1.2 (SSE version) now no longer has the cape becoming old length when sitting down, or bending (like on enchanting stations).
Version 1.2 also has SSE optimised meshes (I think. Outfit Studio asked if I wanted to make them SSE optimised and I said yes).
Version 1.2 is now also in need of XPMSSE with TBBP/HDT. Make sure there is a TBBP/HDT skeleton installed!
Will you make this change/edit/extra version?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Generally I make mods because I want to have something in my game, and when I think it might be nice for others and is bug-save enough not to cause too much drama I upload here. Because of this, I rarely make edits just because others want different versions, and mods are distributed as is. That being said, very small things I can do quick I sometimes do none the less. You're also always free to suggest, if I like the suggestion I might as well do it even if it's more complex to do. Just don't expect me to.
Why is this female only? I want a male version!
A few simple reasons. First of all, and most importantly, male version would be a lot harder, and needs more than just outfit studio. There is a hole in the back of the male armour that would need to be remodelled, UVW wrapped, and re-textured, before it would work. personally, I couldn't get the exporting to .nif file right and gave up on it long time ago. Other than that, I personally don't care as much as I play female characters and I don't mind the cape on NPC. I just want to be able to see my own body when playing.
What about a non-TBBP version?
Just install the skeleton without installing animations/physics if you want no bouncing breast...
Known issues
-It still stretches a bit when moving. It's because the side of the cape is attached to the arms to not make it clip with the arms (and also a bit because it was automatically done so and I'm to lazy to fix it).
-Not all weights are 100% nicely smooth, but it shouldn't be bothersome while playing. It's not too me. Shoulders, neck, breast, knee (front), arms, etc are smooth. It's only a problem on the skirt and the back of the legs at knee-height. Maybe also the bottom of the pants when wearing the armour with short shoes (haven't checked but I had to do that one manually as well, so I added it all to calf bone and none to feet bone), but luckily most shoes in Skyrim are boots.
Installation
Just drag and drop into the data folder, overite when asked.
Should work with NMM, but I never tested it. I strongly encourage people to learn manual modding. Takes some time to learn, but once you got it, a world of possibilities will open, and most mistakes you need mod managers for to fix will not be made or fixed in seconds because you know what you do and what happens in the files ;).
Uninstallation
delete added files from your data folder.
Same story about NMM as in the installation tab.
Requirements
Dawnguard
XPMSSE (with TBBP/HDT)
A UNP compatible skin texture
