Using Armour in Clothing slot for its looks rather than its stats (or otherwise changing Armor visuals)

[Major Tom]

There are some really cool armors in the game that I will simply never use because there's an armor that make builds work better (or at all in many cases), but the problem becomes that they don't necessarily fit my characters.

In the game there's already the option to appear in your "clothes" rather than your armor or to hide your incredibly-silly helmet from sight, and that's pretty much how I've played the game. Just a series of dudes running around in my PJs. But it would be nice to simply have the ability to use another armor in this way.

It would be fair to even have it so that you have to have both armors on you (for a weight/inventory penalty).

The other way I can think of would be an item like the dyes that combines the look of one armor with the stats of another that you could buy from merchants.

Also add a hat slot to the civilian side of things for god'sake because you put hats in the game but they're never used. You have a shoe slot but not a hat slot and it's weird. What if I want a silly night cap when I go to beddy-bye huh?

Transmog is already available through mods - requires script extender.
There are rumors of transmog coming in Patch 6; nothing confirmed.

Trust me, there's a sorceror robe for Jacelyn I hate and would transmog despite it having great stats ... if I could (can't use SE). So normally I just shift him to appearing in camp clothes while wearing it.

Good lord I hope so.

It's good to hear there's mods for it. I just got burnt out re-installing mods and haranguing friends to update mods so we can continue campaigns.

But mods will do if they must.
