Commenting this here too, just in case you don't get notified of my reply to the requests tab.

Can you also add an option for us to add to the Ideology preferred apparel selection for regular men/women without roles? There seem to be no other mods that do this, or at least none that I know of.

Yeah the way that categories work is manual. The category that's already there only includes the ones added in the Royalty DLC. If you're using a mod that adds more capes, then they would need to be added to the category manually.

I have a helldivers colony that's running a bunch of different capes, but none of them are counting as capes.

I thought this mod might help, but the tag of "Capes" doesn't include the cape/back slot. only things specifically marked as capes.

I'm making this comment to better expand and fix the mod, I understand the work around is rough as is. thank you for your mod.

You very much don't want to do that. The game has to check every possible item multiple times for every civilization when the game loads. If you set every item, it will take a looooooooong time to do that. There is already some explanation of that in the mod description.

Is there not a way to "unlock everything" so that all apparel is possible to select for every role? That would be most useful.

Initial 1.6 release. Appears to be working but I haven't done thorough testing and likely won't until the DLC/version is fully released.

THANK YOU! i'm doing a pirate playthrough and was so annoyed I couldn't have my captain wear a bicorne/tricorne... now I can!

@Delmain, Tested the mod its totaly stupid that vanilla requires such a workaround...
Anyways thx for the work.

Size should be fixed, I accidentally uploaded a non-stripped version of the mod which included all of my full-res screenshots used for making the preview images (and the code and helper files and whatnot). Just uploaded a version without them which should be fine. Shows as 2mb now!

I really want to give this mod a try, but when I saw the size I was concerned. Does this do more than I think it does? Why is it so large?

Thank you for having made this mod

I only have three mods and they're all pretty small, not a huge problem!

OMG That was so fast! Thank you so much <3 <3 <3

Updated for 1.5

Hi, Delmain, I was wondering if you were going to be able to update this for 1.5? Thank you.

Haha, thank you. I am one of those weirdos with in-depth and confusing configurations that I didn't want to break for my main playthrough, I was just hoping I wasn't alone!

This is quite a substantial update, thanks. And it's nice that you were aware that some freaks might have quite specific and time-consuming configurations made in the previous version. Everything works as before for me, and it's worth mentioning that I have items from several different mods involved.

This is a most beautiful mod, thank you so much.

That mod does seem like a good solution to the problem, thanks for the link @Archilyte

another option to stop the slowdown would be to use this mod as the slowdown comes from it trying to check restrictions for EVERY APPAREL for EVERY ROLE for all factions present. that mod just disables npc factions from having any ideology apparel (you can still edit their role apparel)

Nice. It was always annoying to try to set up meaningful role apparel, but then have to end up taking a mood hit for wearing functional items. "I don't wanna wear armor to protect me in combat, I need my fancy uniform!" *Mental Break*

Good stuff mate, cheers for the mod.
