About this mod

Keira Metz's Pragmatic Transformation - Added alterations to Keira's outfits: a modified appearance for the dinner scene, different lingerie colour and a new book-inspired look for the following scenes, including the battle of Kaer Morhen. In line with her backstory from glamorous advisor to grounded village witch. All changing automatically.

Introduction
This mod makes Keira change her outfits throughout the timeline of the game, depending on the quest contexts.

In the books, Keira is described as rather pragmatic, hence I wanted this to be reflected in her outfits, too.
Thus, this mod is primarily inspired by the following quote

The light which made the details visible emanated from an orb suspended above Keira Metz’s head – a sorceress with whom Geralt had been chatting at the banquet the previous evening. He barely recognised her; she had exchanged her flowing tulle for severe male clothing, and she had a dagger at her side. - Andrzej Sapkowski, Time of Contempt (1995)



Outfit Changes
Only files from the game itself were used.

  • normal look:
    added bead necklace, removed stone necklace, added gauntlets, a stone bracelet and earrings. Added shoes (open sandals, that way the rat scene makes more sense)!
  • normal look with new hair:
    also added new hairdo (loosely tied back in a knot) and flower crown
  • bathtub look:
    gave her a hair towel and earrings from above
  • dinner look:
    removed belt and gauntlets, added sleeves and jewelry, changed the hairstyle
  • lingerie look:
    changed colour to light blue as it better fits her complexion and represents her Cinderella fantasy
  • confrontation at tower look:
    none of the crowd NPC looks really represented what "severe male clothing" would look like, so now Keira wears Syanna's outfit with some tweaks, like a cape and a belt with a dagger; also a practical hairstyle with earrings
  • battle of Kaer Morhen look:
    same as above, but with added fur against the cold



Variants

There are five versions of this mod. See #images tab.
  • Version one leaves her standard hair for her normal and nude-ish looks, as that is how the devs envisioned her.
  • Version two adds a new hairstyle to her normal appearance, inspired by her gwent card, a mousy blonde version.
  • Version three changes the hair color of alternative and tied hair to a light blonde.
  • Version four changes the hair color of alternative and tied hair to a straw blonde.
  • Version 5 only changes clothes, not her hair, thus making it compatible with other hair mods.
Which hairstyle when?
  • normal/alt: Village Witch, Lingerie, Nude
  • ponytail: Dinner, Fyke Isle, Battle of Kaer Morhen



Known Issues
  • Does not alter the appearance of anything but her looks, i.e. the trail she leaves or if you choose to end her.
  • Apparently, the lower part of the outfit is still tied to Syanna, as mods changing Syanna's outfit also change Keira's boots/pants... - fixed in v1.2
    If you prefer Keira and Syanna not to share the same look, I highly recommend installing bububull's (Sy)Anna Valerious - alternate outfit for Syanna.



Disclaimer and Thank Yous
This is my first mod, so there was not too much experimenting. I have always been inspired by mods like Perdita25's dynamic outfits, and teiji25's dynamic costumes as well as bathsebah's dedication and now Redkit allowed me to try it out. Huge shoutout also to moonknight1993's Dynamic Appearances Project, without their documentation I would not have gotten as far as I did.

There are many more awesome outfit mods out there, also a few for Keira, so I recommend going on a browse.

Before publishing, I looked through other Keira mods so as not to have a name clash and saw that Curvy Busty Keira has a similar look to the dinner look I created here, which is a coincidence and I toast to their sense of style, but mentioning it here nonetheless.


I also really like this Keira look, which along with the Gwent card inspired me for her alternative hair - sadly, the mod seems to be no longer on Nexus.
