Opulent Outfits - Mage Robes of Winterhold 2018-SSE

                                                                   



Features

- Completely updated with all the latest changes from SSE and USSEP 
- Opulent Outfits now comes with its own framework for the sale and distribution of its content in a realistic manner via Skyrims merchants. 
  You will not be able to buy Opulent mage robes in isolated backwaters like, Riverwood or Falkreath. Robes will drop as loot in world using standard vanilla rules.
- Supports Hoods w Circlets.
 - Improved textures (SSE only).
 - Survival Mode compatible
- Modernized and overhauled naming, weights, costs and effects.
- A dedicated Opulent merchant selling un-enchanted opulent mage robes, now integrated into the mod.

Outfit fixes. Both Vanilla, USSEP and the original OMoW, assigned many NPCs, outfits that did not accurately represent their skill sets and or class.
 To address this, Opulent Outfits-2018 assigns select npcs outfits that better reflect their skill sets and abilities.  See article: Outfit Fixes
All racial texture, gender display errors from the 2013 versions, resolved. 

And many other improvements, new features, bugfixes and refinements besides.

And as added bonus, Opulent fixes Radiant Raiments so it no longer carries beggars or miners gear. Ever thought it strange the snobbiest merchant in Skyrim sold beggar's rags and working mans gear, all while insulting you for your own fashion choices (even if you are wearing something better than anything they sell?). 
I found this odd as well, so RR inventory has been adjusted accordingly.

Opulent Outfits utilizes 2k and 1k uncompressed textures and normals. Opulent content should be free of any compression artifacts to allow for the best visual quality possible.
2k - Robes, 1K -Boots & Hoods.

 Opulent Outfits Replacer-2018 SSE: Mage and court wizards only

 Opulent Outfits Standalone-2018 SSE (Misc Files)

Usage: There is NO point in installing this version if you are running either Main file. Standalone is now included in the main mod.

Standalone installs the Opulent vendor Melisaand to the College of Winterhold, her sale items, and no other features from the main Opulent mod.
Does not include Necromancer or Maids and Merchant content. Caster Robes only.  No NPCs besides the vendor, will appear in Opulent clothing.

This separate version is provided for those NOT planning on installing either Opulent AIO, or Replacer, but wish a means to provide Opulent content in-world.
This add-on can be installed alongside any other clothing mods, replacers or character overhauls w/o conflict. 2k - Robes, 1K -Boots & Hoods.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Installation. 

1) Install the MAIN file of your choosing
2) If you use any of the supported mods like Cutting room floor, or Improved Bards, install that and let them overwrite when prompted.
3) Optional: Install the updated Normals. Allow all overwrites.
4) Install any of the other optional files you wish last. IE Arch mage recolors, 1k textures or any other patches.

As always the last file you install, is what the game will utilize.

Installation of Opulent Outfits into existing games\saves 

For users upgrading or updating Opulent Outfits in existing games (saves).

 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 when you preform an update to Opulent files in existing saves.
 
See troubleshooting guide for more detail on this issue.

Compatibility - Load Order  - Troubleshooting
For Troubleshooting,  see: this Article
 
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  
-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
Armor and Clothing Extension - Install this mod above Opulent in your load order.
-Bijin Mods. Highly compatible due to Opulent not assigning its outfits to NPCs covered by those mods.(exception: Brelyna). Her outfit will get reverted to vanilla and not the CONJ robe, Opulent assigns her. This won't be addressed for the sake of giving one NPC a different starting robe. Consider it a feature if you will. 
-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.
Legacy of the Dragonborn. (file provided) A small file that removes an opulent Outfit from Ongar Brewer. This npc wears an Opulent Conj robe due to the way his outfit is configured. The file re-assigns a more...fitting outfit as he is not a caster of any kind . Entirely optional, but appropriate given his outfit is not really consistent with either Opulent Outfits or, LoTD .


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.

Load Order

Generally speaking, Opulent Outfits should go BELOW any appearance mods. That class of mod will likely conflict at numerous points unless there is a compatibility patch for the specific mod in question.

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 Opulent 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 are wearing their correct Opulent Outfit. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
