Kinda Sorta Transmog v2.0.0
Ever found a new armor that has great stats but looks awful?
Ever downloaded a mod that gives your companion cool new clothes, but then it's wasted because you equip better armor on them anyway?
Then this mod is for you! These armbands, when equipped, will make the character look like they're in their default outfit, no matter what armor they actually have equipped. They also give a thematically-relevant buff just so they're not completely useless stat-wise.
How to get the items:
- Your companions will have their bands equipped by default when you first recruit them. You can also use the console commands to get them. For now, to get the bands for the player character, you'll need to use the console.
Codes:
- giveitem bastilaband
- giveitem canderousband
- giveitem carthband
- giveitem joleeband
- giveitem juhaniband
- giveitem missionband
- There are 90 codes for player characters, one for each possible combination of Class and Head. The codes follow a pattern. P for Player, gender (M or F), race (A for Asian, B for Black, C for Caucasian), class (S for Scoundrel, M for Scout, L for Soldier), then 01-05 for which head.
- Example code: giveitem transmogpfal03 (this would give you the armband for a Soldier with Female Asian Head 03.
- I'll be workshopping a better way to give the player the relevant armband, but for now this is my best option. When in doubt, a little trial and error goes a long way.
Install:
- Just run the HoloPatcher!
Uninstall:
- Move everything from the backup folder into your override, and delete bastilaband.uti, canderousband.uti, carthband.uti, joleeband.uti, juhaniband.uti, and missionband.uti from your override. You'll also have 90 "transmogxxxxxx.uti" files in your override you can delete.
*** Please do not use my mod in other mods without permission. You can message me on DeadlyStream to discuss it. Thank you! ***
Compatibility:
- The mod uses HoloPatcher to dynamically add rows to appearance.2da instead of overwriting anything, so I don't foresee any compatibility issues with appearance.2da. Anything that modifies p_bastilla.utc, p_cand.utc, p_carth.utc, p_jolee.utc, p_juhani.utc, or p_mission.utc may conflict, but all this does is add lines to their Equip_ItemList. Send me a message if you discover any conflicts!
Future Plans:
- Add variants that have just the transmog or just the buff, for folks who feel the buff is too good or want to have the buff while seeing the equipped armor.
- Immersive Acquisition for the Player Character bands. I have the rumblings of an idea but not totally sure. There are 90 of them.
- Re-theme the items for each character, i.e. give Mission a memento from Griff to equip instead of an armband. Also make each band only equippable by the proper character. Presently, any character can equip any armband, so you could make Canderous look like Mission, or make Carth look like a player character.
- Patches for clothing mods from other developers. Send me a message if you want one and I'll try!
- High in the sky apple pie hopes: Proper transmog. A method to apply the visuals of any armor you want instead of just your default clothing. This is gonna be a colossal undertaking so I'll do my best. It might be on the back burner until I get the basic version of Kinda Sorta Transmog for KotOR II published.

Released
Player Character version! There are now 90 different armbands for player characters, one for each possible combo of head/class. Check the readme for details on getting the one you want. I'm gonna try to find a more immersive way to get the right one, but for now just use the console.
