Suggestion for some clothes patch
You may not know, but you can wear many layers of clothes, and it follow this order:
- Upper body: Bra < Tank top < T-shirt < Shirt < Sweeter < Jacket < Body armor
- Lower body: Underwear < Pant/Skirt
- Legs: Stockings/Tights < Socks
- Other: Glove

The Binary clothes mess up with some clothes giving it wrong slot with some clothes, for example:
- All coat/jacket, Adorable dress, Kokoa leotard, ... , they all take "Body armor" slot, when wear it, you cant wear Body armor/ Bullet proof vest
- All sleeves cant wear with glove because "Sleeves" count as "Glove", the maid sleeves count as "Jacket" so it work
- ...

These clothes should be something more like this:
- Urban glove, shoes, pant (un-change), Urban sleeves shirt (Jacket -> Shirt), Urban Jacket (Body armor -> Jacket)
- Gothic shoes ( un-change), Gothic dress (T-shirt -> Tank top), Gothic coat (Body armor -> Jacket)
- Kokoa shoes ( un-change), Kokoa sleeves (Glove -> Jacket), Kokoa leotard (Body armor -> Shirt)
- ...

Personally, i love to combine these Binary clothes together along with some tactical gear from Brita to get something like the "Armed tactical clothing" mod, "Cute and Tactical". But let say something like Kokoa outfit, you CANT wear with the "body armor" because the Leotard took that slot and the Sleeves taking Glove slot too

But if we fix the slot problem, you can gear: shoes, glove, dress, inner shirt < base shirt < outer shirt, Jacket (Sleeves), body armor. All of them at the same time, it would be the final touch to fix the mod

I hope it doesnt involve changing model,something that need 3D programs or thing like that, so you may only need to change slot name or category in code line to fix it just like the mask, we all though u cant pull it off but you did somehow

I can provide detail for each clothes how they should change, and if you agree, we should discuss it here to avoid flooding the main page comment

That is if like the idea and thank it can be done :steamthumbsup:

I seems understand the situation that want to expect to play in role of "Cute in action"
I think probably modified or rewrite the clothing scripts seems to be okay because it just touch only clothing code and load to overwrite, not other materials.
However, not guaranteed that overwriting clothing scripts will be work as it should, so I may need to testing out and to confirm the changes are actually work. (as well as change the mod title too, if needed.)

Thank you so much, i hope it just that simple so you can change it. If it work, then just take your time, if it not, at least you try :steamthumbsup:

If you need me to lay out how all the clothes should be at what slot, just tell me

Seen like XML file is 1 hecc of a mess right now, i hope u still try to work with my idea to see if it can be done or not

I've cancelled non masks XML patching earlier because it produce issues that make clothes disappear rather than patching its clothing ID properly.
There's an issue about variant of twintail mask where it point to head02_nan04, however, it's not an actual PNG texture file, instead it's Photoshop file that not yet exported properly, so I've use GIMP to open and exported out.

For progress about changing cloth slots, I've tested to patch clothing scripts but doesn't return well results, with Fashionista mod or unlock all clothing, I cannot choose most cloth items to apply on characters, also it can crash the game if you're hitting zeds that wear Binary clothes due to game doesn't know which clothing slots should produce hole and/or blood.
I'm aware that it lead me to copy entire mod and manually modify clothing scripts in each items, I personally don't want to do that in my mind.
