Installation of Opulent Outfits into existing games\saves for C&CF and non-C&CF users.

-The CCF patch will not work on existing saves for either AIO\Replacer. Attempting to do so mid-game may result in missing textures on court wizards, OR, the wizards will just continue to wear the Monk-style robes. CCF patch is for New Games only.
 
For users upgrading current versions of Opulent Outfits

 Due to the way the game engine handles changes to outfits in existing saves(poorly), it will be common to see naked NPCs or NPCs with partial outfits in cases where Opulent files are upgraded or updated. If you are starting a new game, the game will properly load all Opulent content for the version you have installed w/o any errors. If you are UPDATING, then you will likely encounter NPCs that either are a) naked b) partially outfitted or c) do not have their new outfits at all. In such cases, the enable disable fix should resolve the issue and force the game to load their new outfits.

COMPATIBILITY+Load Order
 
Mods known to be Compatible with Opulent Outfits 2018 with or without patches: 
-Vanilla Skyrim
-USSEP 4.1.3+
-All body types. Note: there is no weight slider support for bodies like UUNP. 
-Castles and Palaces Enhanced  
*Clothing and Clutter Fixes - Recommended for its hood w circlets feature. (Updated Script provided).
-Cutting Room Floor - Use AIO replacement ESP provided. All ESPs have Jons letter placed on Olfina-Grey-Mane.
-Immersive College of Winterhold SSE  -  Compatible via its installer. See updates for ICoW in optionals.
-Improved Bards by Cleverbee. Replacement ESP provided
-Bijin Mods. Highly compatible due to Opulent-2017 not assigning its outfits to NPCs covered by those mods.(exception: Brelyna). Her outfit gets reverted to vanilla and not the CONJ robe, Opulent 2018 assigns her. This won't be addressed for the sake of giving one NPC a different starting robe. 
-Rustic Clothing v3.0 - Replacer - fully compatible.
-Rustic Clothing v3.0 - All in One: Largely compatible. Rustic Clothing will attempt to overwrite opulent outfits monk and Arch-Mage textures. Simplest solution is to install Rustic Clothing FIRST, then opulent outfits, allowing Opulent Outfits to overwrite RCs textures where applicable. Regardless of install order, do not allow Rustic to overwrite Opulent content when prompted or you will lose Opulents monk and Arch-mage textures. Female NPCs will display Opulent content. Males will display the updated Rustic textures. Rustic clothing is a recommended mod.

Not compatible\may conflict with:

*Mods that alter the meshes or textures of vanilla mage, monk, common, fine or necromancer or farm outfits, tavern clothes etc. In some cases, simple load order adjustments may be sufficient to address such conflicts in favor of Opulent Outfits. 
*Appearance mods that alter any of the Mages College NPCs court wizards, Calcelmo, Aicantar, Nelacar.
Blanket NPC overalls such as WICO for example, will conflict with the NPCs that are assigned Opulent Outfits. 
*Radiant Raiment Fine Clothes replacer mods (aka Embassy Party Clothes mods). Place such mods below Opulent Outfits in your load order.
*Protected NPC Redux.

As an added bonus Opulent fixes Radiant Raiments so it no longer carries beggars or miners gear. Ever thought it was odd that the snobbiest merchant in Skyrim carried what amounted to beggar's rags and working mans gear, all while insulting you for your own fashion choices (even if you wearing something better than anything they sold?)  I do too, so I fixed that as well.

Load Order

Generally speaking, Opulent Outfits should go BELOW any appearance mods that change TCoW and court wizards. The reason for this is Opulent Outfits changes some mages outfits(not just textures) from vanilla, to robes that more accurately reflect their class and abilities. There may arises cases where an appearance changer mod will display opulent textures , but not the corrected, Opulent assigned outfit.  

Example. In certain cases, a mod could potentially revert NPCs outfits. This is not strictly a problem, so long as they are wearing are still wearing opulent outfits of course. For example, Bijin mod users will find Brelyna wearing her default (vanilla), OPULENT robe, but it won't be  the conjuration robe OO-2018 assigns her. While this could be considered a 'conflict' of sorts, it is not critical in any real way.  If however, you find your NPCs are not wearing opulent outfits at all due to mod conflicts, that will require more attention.

See article, Outfit Fixes to verify your mages have their corrected outfits.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Naked or partially clothed NPCs

 If you encounter unclothed NPCs, this is an engine issue with the CK/Skyrim having trouble switching outfits. It is not a 'bug' in the mod. 
Any change, or version upgrade made to an Opulent Outfits installation, no matter how minor, is often sufficient to trigger this glitch.
The good news is, it is easily fixed.
Fix: Open the console, Press ~  <target> the NPC, and type 'disable' then 'enable'. They will have their outfits back. 
 
There is no need to start a new game solely to fix this issue, the problem is easily corrected in existing games.
You will not experience this issue if starting a new game with OO-2018 installed. 

Problem: Opulent dresses not appearing for sale in Radiant Raiments or you find Opulent robes for sale in places the mod says you should not be able to, ie Falkreath.

Then you have another mod lower down your load order applying its changes to either leveled lists and or merchant containers. Some of these mods may conflict with only a few of Opulents own changes, or possibly  all of them.  

Examples of mods that (might) do this would be:
-Major gameplay overhaul mods. ie, Morrowloot Ultimate or similar mods which modify vanilla leveled lists.
-Leveled List overhaul mods, ie Level Lists Rebalanced mod.
-Bash patches or Mator Smash (they may fail to properly merge leveled lists and container lists).
-Mercantile mods
-Economy mods
-Weapons , armor or item mods that modify the same merchants Opulent does. 

Opulent Outfits leveled  list\ container changes.

>Load order changes alone are not sufficient to address conflicts where multiple mods modify the vanilla leveled lists and merchant  containers. Opulent now alters the distribution of robes so any other mod that also alters the same vanilla lists , will conflict. Vendor lists and leveled list changes have to be merged  in cases where 2 or more modified lists exist in order to see every mods items for sale and effect the way goods appear. The mod LOWEST in your load order, determines what contents appear, and what leveled list will apply. This is a more complex kind of conflict and is not as easy to resolve. Using Mator Smash or creating a custom merged patch using SSEedit is the only way to properly address this kind of compatibility issue.
