[B42\B41] Simple Character Creation Menu Expansion

Description
Why wouldn't your character not have a watch? Or earrings?

Simple Character Creation Menu Expansion provides a simple and lightweight addition to the character creation menu, adding in a few "common sense" items as options for your character to spawn in with, namely watches, shoes, earrings and underwear, all in one convenient package. At it's core this expansion seeks to allow anything that most normal citizens in 1990's Kentucky would be wearing as options (that aren't "overpowered") while preventing the bloating the menu like how the All Clothing Unlocked sandbox option does.

Recommended to use with some sort of character retexture mod that doesn't have underwear painted onto them, like mines: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3367043935
Compatible (and recommended) with Vanilla Clothing Expansion (more clothing textures/colors): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3421271152

B41 and B42; may not be compatible with mods that add/remove items from the character creation menu.

Update: B41 support has been dropped, I've decided to no longer maintain/update it but it will still work.

  • Bangles and other shiny things
  • Hats

  • Certain occupation-specific clothing (e.g. Denim Shirts)

@definitely-mid it is a trait thing. The Hunter Trait lets you start with a Hunting Vest, Camo Cap and Camo Bonnie Hat

@SDgamer I think that's a vanilla feature? In any case my mod doesn't change its offerings based on any selected traits.

Do traits have influence on what Clothes you can select? When i take Hunter i can chose a Hunting Vest

As you can see it's still a work in progress :spiffo:

You missed the choker and bracelets...:boykisserSmug:

@J Taylor I see, I don't think modded items really fit the mod seeing that the mod is about offering a few extra vanilla items (key word: "few") into the menu. The point is to only having things that are likely to be found in someone's house during the time and place of PZ, without making the menu extremely bloated with 13 different items with the name "T-shirt", which is the opposite of the Fashionista mod which really just gives you everything. You can also just used the "All Clothing Unlocked" sandbox option (found in the Character category) since Fashionista hasn't been updated yet.

I would like to be able to start with jackets and hoodies from these mods, for example, in a leather jacket in the Negan setting. Yes, it's more in the Fashionista style, but that's not enough in B42...

@J Taylor if you're talking about support for Spongie's Clothing mod and/or Spongie's Open Jackets, I haven't considered adding the items from those two mods into the mod itself, considering I'm still not finished adding all of the vanilla items I want to have in the mod. There should be no issue having any of their mods with this mod though, if that's what you're asking about.

Spongie mods compatibility?
