Male costume variations for female characters

This mod replaces some female uniform clothing with their male counterparts. Replace the skirt with pants and add some masculine pants and shoes to complete the look.

Male Outfit Variants for Women

✨ **A mod that puts female characters into handsome pantsuits! ** ✨

I've always wanted a mod that would allow my female character to dress up in a male version of the outfit, with pants instead of a skirt. Well, I'm not a fan of skirts. So, I made this mod and share it here for those who might also enjoy having these options.

🎯 Module function

**Please note: Please download and use only one master file! **

**Uniform and casual version**

• **Replacement Uniform Parts**: Replace waistcoat, vest, and blazer with corresponding male versions.
• **Goodbye Skirts**: Replaced skirts on all uniforms with pants.
• **Male version of pants**: Some pants (mainly trousers) have also been replaced with male versions.
• **Matching Shoes**: The uniform also comes with a male version of shoes, very practical! 😄
• **Some casual wear updates**: You can now also enjoy fashionable vests paired with pants.

**NOTE**: I left some of the casual clothes untouched, mainly those with kilts, and those that originally had trousers.

Although I **really, really, really** want to, I haven't replaced the medieval dress (the men have cool tunics) yet because I haven't gotten the physics right yet. Maybe one day.

I've kept the women's version of the cardigan blazer from a few outfits because it has pants of its own, and why not?

**Uniform version only**

• Same function as above, but **only changes the appearance of school uniforms**. The casual clothes (or Muggle clothes, haha) remain unchanged from the original.

**Muggle costume version only**

• **Only replacing some casual/muggle clothing**.
• Most outfits with skirts now have pants.
• The women's shirt set was replaced with a male-owned waistcoat version.

⚠️ Compatibility Notes

Any mods that edit `GearAppearances` and/or replace vanilla models of female clothing are **not compatible**. There are many such mods, so if another mod also modifies these contents, it is likely to cause problems.

💡 IMPORTANT NOTICE

• **Model interleaving issues**: There may be some model interleaving issues, especially when wearing robes - there are so many robe combination possibilities in the game that it is impossible to catch all bugs in a short time. Adding male models to female characters involves manually reshaping them piece by piece to fit female proportions (and the upper body costumes come in two or three mesh versions depending on whether you're wearing a specific robe), which isn't as simple as simply slipping a male model onto a female body via `GearAppearance`.
• **Icon unchanged**: I did not redo the icon. There is currently no easy way to do this while maintaining the aesthetics of the game. Considered using a male version of the icon, but not sure. For now, the icon remains in its original version.
