I believe if you send soldiers on an op, when they return, it defaults their armour again. Idk if this is just with modded armour or not tho

if that bothers you more than random parts on new rookies then don't use this mod

yeah unfortunately with UCR your character pool characters are likely to spawn into the campaign with random cosmetics of course you can just import from the character pool to give them the right ones)

Just a heads up for people, this and Unrestricted Customization Redux seem to conflict, resulting in cosmetics being randomised for soldiers in your character pool when going to edit them.

Sadly not working for me, even after starting a new game. I tried switching armors and they're all a jumbled mess, still. =/

can i use this with modded cosmetics?

as an avid mod user, this is essential to preventing the abominations my recruits spawn as

God i wish this would work with clones or mandos, the least fun is dressing them all up one by one for long war, as my custom entries dont seem to get loaded :(

@Bear, still there's no UI in game to use

How does this mod work exactly? If there's a .ini file I have to edit, where do I find it, and how is it edited?

@Kessler, editing an ini isn't quite 'coding a mod yourself', chap.

I can confirm this doesn't work in the base game (no DLC at all), at least with newly generated soldiers (tried in new game); they're still equipped with random armor props. My relevant settings are all set to default values:

[code]
AffectKevlar = true

+MaleMediumKevlarArmor=(Torso=CnvMed_Std_A_M, Legs=CnvMed_Std_A_M, Arms=CnvMed_Std_A_M)
+FemaleMediumKevlarArmor=(Torso=CnvMed_Std_A_F, Legs=CnvMed_Std_A_F, Arms=CnvMed_Std_A_F)
[/code]

I'll report back once I unlock 2nd tier armors.

So how am I supposed to use this? Do i have to find what i like, equip it, leave the game and then essentially code it myself? wack.

tried to use character pool uniforms to edit the initial appearance of soldiers but it didn't work with left and right arms (it would show soldiers without arms instead). edited the ini on this and it works! wonder if there's a way to get them a helmet though.

Apologies if I've missed something, but what happens if I customize and then sidegrade within the tier, i.e. go from regular kevlar to improvised (class) armor or resistance armor, change my mind and go back to kevlar. Will it undo any prior customizing I had done?

Yea I second the default colour also ...
That would be rad !!!

Doesn't work with long war for me :( (could be mod conflicts though)

hmm is there a way to set a default colour for your default uniform? love being able to make a default uniform, not super fond of the default beige lol

Does it work with long war or what?

i'm about to use this with long war, I'll let you all know

This still work with LW2? Alternative mod launcher gives me a warning that this is for WOTC now.

How would i go to add a default vanilla helmet as well?

@Siven:
That's not what this mod does, pretty sure I've seen mod(s) that do that - search for Alien Hunters

Anyway to get this working with the Alien armors too? Make RAGE suit look like plated or powered for example?
I tired adding +HeavyAlienArmor but didnt seem to work.
I know unrestricted customisation mod does it, but it also does other things i dont want.

C&P = Copy and Paste?
I don't use Unrestricted Customisation.

what Unrestricted Customization's C&P functionality and how do i use it

By C&P are you reffering to ConfirmAppearanceModification?

This works great until Unrestricted Customization comes into play, which then seems to PARTIALLY (?) override this mod's functionality. I had a TON of soldiers spawn with a damned invisible torso because that's what's #1 on the list for those in my game now, haha. It was fine, though, just use Unrestricted Customization's C&P functionality to override everyone with some basic combination of parts and you're golden.

doesnt seem to work with cosmetic mods

Does this work for every item of a specific outfit- when one piece of a cosmetic mod is selected, all the other pieces of the same outfit are selected as well? If not, is it possible to add that functionality?

Re-Iterating the need for Faction Heros to be added to this list so customizations don't break them at upgrades.... looking at you, Grim Style Armors, MGS and Jensen Prosthetics.

So... how do I make this mod work, I really dont understand how to do it, the concept sounds awesome and I really wpuld like to know how to keep outifts

I can't figure out how to get this to work. I subscribed and have it when I load up my game, yet everytime I put something other than Kevlar armor for my characters, it still changes. I don't know how to make it so they keep their outfit

works with wotc?

Is there a way to set a color?

Keep getting vanilla parts 1, 1, 1. can you change this so the vanilla parts are random? they all look the same otherwise.

Any chance this can be updated to include Hero class units?

Can confirm what most everyone else has been saying: When recovering for stress/wounds, when coming back from covert ops, reverts any customization you may have done back to the default uniform set by this mod. Also doesn't seem to function well with power armor for hero classes. After about my 50th soldier or so (they're cannon fodder, what can I say?), the uniform stopped applying at all and the clown brigade came back. I think this needs another pass-through in the ol' editor or something to get it working again for WotC.

Works on normal troops, but seems to have broken the power armor tier cosmetics on one of my Templars.

Doesn't work

?????

For a time this worked like a magic wand, but at some point my new soldiers started looking like a carnival circus again, is this broken? Because I can't get it to work again, after several loading order changes, resubbings and config folder deletions.

It doesn't seem to be working on a new vanilla/LW2 campaign -- when trying to re-equip kevlar or recruiting new soldiers. I'm using the Uniforms Manager mod which still seems to work, and the Alternate Mod Launcher shows no conflicts, so I'm not sure what can be causing it.

I'll check again once I get plated/spider armors.

is it possible to add helmets to to the uniform? using a Clone Trooper mod, so a default helmet would be awesome

I am seeing non-hybrid soldiers with the Skirmisher scars, how do I fix this

@ninja6398:
What are you expecting this mod to do? When you equip an armour on a trooper that trooper will have a fixed look, rather than a grab bag of different parts.

How do i use this mod? Cause after downloading it my soldiers still look like a bunch of bad cosplayers? If it helps I used it mid-game, and then started a new game but it still doesn't work.

Does this conflict with Augmentation?

This seems to cause my already-customized soldiers to sometimes revert back to the standard outfits automatically. Think it occurs after they recover from wounds/tiredness.

@ИعşŞ a good workaround would be to save a character outfit to the character pool, disable the tags that make them spawn as a character, then use a mod that lets you import said outfit from the character pool!
