Rewrite seasonal clothing 6.0 code to achieve modular design and reduce system resource usage

Seasonal Outfits - 6.0 Code Fixes

🎯 Module introduction

Hello everyone!

After discovering that seasonal clothing variations with a slightly cutesy aesthetic couldn't be used with Nyapu's likeness, I decided to put my college degree knowledge to good use.

✨ Major improvements

I rewrote much of the code to give users more control over the scope and objects of SCA modifications. Through configuration files, users can:

• **Disable all portraits and/or all sprites**
• **Independently disable portraits and sprites for individual characters** (Original mod already has this feature)

🛠️ Advanced Customization

If you want more granular control, you can:

• Open the code folder of this module and delete any .json files you want
• If you have a mod that replaces Abigail's sprites, just delete Abigail_Sprite.json
• If you have a portrait mod that turns Pam into a sexy babe, just delete Pam_Portrait.json
• If you are lazy like me and don't want to open the configuration file, just delete the entire file of the character you don't want to be modified by SCA.

🚀 Performance optimization

The original SCA loads a lot of textures at the beginning of each day:

• **Each Marriable NPC**: At least 28 different textures (portraits and sprites)
• **Each non-marriageable NPC**: 16 different textures

**Improvements of this mod:**

• **Maximum simultaneous runs**: 14 different textures (when all Harvey's conditions are met)
• **Most NPCs**: Default, Beach, Winter Outdoor, Winter Indoor, Festival, 10 textures in total
• **WINTER CLOTHING**: Loaded only in winter
• **Festival Outfits**: Loaded only during festivals
• **Average non-winter day**: only 4 different textures loaded

⚙️ Installation Guide

• Download Seasonal Outfits - Slightly Cute Aesthetic and all its requirements
• Open SCA's resource folder and delete the 'Code' folder (optional step)
• Download this module
• Place it in your mod folder
• If there is a config.json file, please delete or back it up
• Go to [CP] Seasonal Cute Characters/assets/Code/ and modify it as needed

**File Description:**

• `NPC.json` - basic file, deleting the sprites and portraits equivalent to disabling the NPC
• `NPC_Portrait.json` - Portrait file, deletion will remove all SCA portraits of this NPC
• `NPC_Sprite.json` - Sprite file, deleting will remove all SCA sprites for this NPC

🔧 Configuration options

**Main configuration:**

🔄 Compatibility

• Inherited the compatibility of the original module
• Now truly compatible with any other sprite and portrait mods
• May conflict with compatibility mods made for SCA 6.0
• Mods that modify the original festival internal code name may cause festival costumes to fail to load.

⚠️ Known issues

• SMAPI may have warning messages due to unloading resources
• Some resources seem incomplete (such as Marlon's use of bow resources in the second year of the Flower Dance Festival)

💡 Technical details

This code should save more resources than the original version:

• A mix of old ways to replace clothing and sparse use of new ways
• Most outfits do not need to be changed throughout the day, just replace the default outfit
• Use new methods for situations such as work, aerobics and winter clothing that require changing throughout the day
• If the new outfit has no chance to be used, unload resources to reduce the amount of resources l …
