Tutorial: How to add variation to underwear.dll

[KineKin]

Maybe I am just dumb, but it took me a very long time to figure out how to add variation to underwear.dll. Since there is no documentation on this at all, I'm writing here what i have learned in hopes that some lost soul like myself find it helpful.

 

what you need:

• underwear.dll
• a mod that has the underwear you want.
• XEdit (optional but helpful)

 

step 1:

create a new mod.

copy skse/plugins/Underwear.ini from underwear.dll into the new mod. (retaining the original file path)

 

step 2:

figure out the references of the items you want to use.

There are many ways to do that, for example with the in-game console or using Modex. I'm gonna go with XEdit here.

Open up XEdit and load the mod that contains the underwear you want.

Expand the "Armor" group inside the mod in question and look for the specific item you want.

on the left of the item it should say something like "FE000816" that's what we need. Write it down or keep XEdit open for step 3.

 

step 3:

now open up the Underwear.ini in your new mod.

right at the top it should say

[General]
Underwear = 0x813~Underwear.esp
Underwear = 0x812~Underwear.esp
Underwear = 0x80b~Underwear.esp
Underwear = 0x801~Underwear.esp

This is the list of the items used by underwear.dll and we can our items there.

The old four entries can be removed if you want.

I'm not exactly sure what the rules are for adding own lines, but here is what worked for me:

1. Keep "Underwear" unchanged.
2. After the equals sign enter a 0x and then the last 3 digits of the item reference.
3. then a ~ with the name of the esp that item is from.

So for example:

[General]
Underwear = 0x900~NUDE for DLL.esp
Underwear = 0x901~NUDE for DLL.esp
Underwear = 0x902~NUDE for DLL.esp
Underwear = 0x903~NUDE for DLL.esp
Underwear = 0x800~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x802~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x806~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x807~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x80B~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x810~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x811~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x812~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp
Underwear = 0x816~Ultimate Lingerie Collection 2.esp

 

Save the ini file.

 

Thats it! Horrayy!

 

Extra note on N.U.D.E.:

 

I really like the clothing included in this mod but not the way it works. So i remove all the script/skse/ui files in the mod, leaving only the .esp, the textures, meshes and bodyslide files. Then added it's items to underwear.dll as explained above.

Seems to work so far.
