At home in Lakeview. Got some long overdue domestic chores to take care of. A major overhaul of all clothing and armor for PC, Vilja, Soppy and just in case, three complete different outfits for future use. In addition Vilja is making wolfcry armor and I feel obliged to improve and enchant various pieces of that as well.
So PC changes into bra and panties and I start the glacial process of getting my brain organized and collecting all materials. On the third or fourth trip through the house Vilja remarks she really likes PCs outfit and wants to borrow it some time. Right! Thanks for reminding me! I go down and make several more sets of underwear then back up, relieve Vilja of her armor which is to be refurbished and give her underwear as she remarked upon.
Sophia, Soppy, has been drunk for over a week now and her outfit looks like she raided a St. Vinny. Remove all her apparel and give her underwear too. Oops. Might as well do the whole mess. Down, make more underwear. Back up. Rayya gets the underwear treatment. Mjoll and Lydia are also in residence. All three look like they raided the junk yard boutique for attire. Them too.
Nuts. PC is overloaded and moving in slow motion. I've also got nearly everyone's weapons in inventory. Oops, forgot Eryniel! Where is she? Oh. My other put her in the back room/closet. Make more underwear and swap out for Eryniel too. Okay! That everyone?
Inch by inch PC makes her way through the dining room. I survey the room. Eryniel, Mjoll, Soppy, Sophie, Lucia, Lydia, Rayya, three dogs, a scamp, a flame atronach and a rabbit. Vilja, at a guess in order to be heard, is standing on the dining table. She suddenly suggests having a nice quiet evening home together.
The game is lagging badly. Dumping everything in my inventory except bow, arrows and underwear into a container I flee. Stomping Skyrim wearing just a bra and panties is much safer than that madhouse.
PS The problem is I want everyone to look nice. That means everyone gets to try on various choices in clothing and armor. And of course, no two should be alike. That equates to having, about, 7x5 outfits x2 for alternate appearance plus multiple in city non armored attire = about 100 outfits. Then each set of outfits needs to be custom enchanted and smithed for each character's preferences. I'm going to need a lot more potions which means another major ingredients collecting foray. Has anyone else felt overwhelmed like this?

To save the agony my crew just invests in the Deserter X - Mitosuke's fine line of armors. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59202/? All of the versions are linked at the bottom of each page. Several crafting books make you access places you need to be stealth or fight to aquire. Then we just mix and match and they do look like your just in bra and panties......... easy is as easy does. i am paticularly found of the Emfy cleric robes panties done in stel mesh..... very comfortable.

I'm fond of the Emfy robes for Vilja, at least in the city and such. I have some other pieces from Sottetta and Tembra armors that I use for her wardrobes. Sounds like Sniffles needs to do some housecleaning though. Even in Lakeview, that's one full house. And sounds like extra wardrobe cabinets are needed as well.

But the armor and clothing still needs to be tried on in various settings for looks, indoors, city, countryside, mountain climbing. Then the sets need to be enchanted when appropriate then smithing improved.
Uhhh... that mod. Somebody have a thing about torn fishnets and cut outs?

Not intending to be a grump here. Fishnets, often torn and worn out as they were quite expensive, were the common advertising tool of the trade for bordellos throughout Europe. Synonymous with prostitution. A good example of objectifying. Full fishnet body suits were adopted as the attire of choice in risque shows at places like the Moulin Rouge to attract customers.
I'm not inclined to introduce that flavor to Skyrim. On the other hand, I'm not supportive of extremist religious zealotry as reflected in many laws in various countries that equated wearing fishnets to pandering.

I firmly agree Sniffles and I think in skyrim carrying a meter long sword or other instriments of persuasion, ie. "your dead a-hole", discourages that oppresive sigma on wearing fishnet. A Also where would Halloween costumes be with out it?

It may feel difficult, but I keep a strict limit on the number of companions my char has with him. 3 is the extreme. THis means Vilja, Sofia and 1 of the house carls. The rest has to stay at home. This is not only to keep framerate high, but also things can get quite unpleasant if backing out of a tunnel that proved too dangerous for a straight attack. All those dumbass followers blocking my way whilst my char is being toasted, iced up or filled with poisened arrows can be quite unnerving. About collected loot bogging down the framerate: Ditto. Sell it! Apart fron giving you cash it will raise your speechcraft. Alternatively you can melt half of it down and use the ingots to upgrade the other half of you armor or weapons. - Now I only wish things would be that easy in real life...! *sigh*

How to refurbish wardrobes.
General attire improvement process (GAIP). Go to alchemy table. Make enchanting and smithing potions. Go to smithing area. Make items and improve everything possible. Go to enchanting table. Enchant items. Not complicated at all.
So, start at the alchemy table. Take all. Your character now weighs 4780 pounds. Put on alchemy enhancing gear. Dump all ingredients back in the bag. Go out and collect ingredients you ran out of. Get killed by dragon. Get killed by draugr. Get killed by a couple of wuss bandits. Remove alchemy improving gear and put armor on. Collect ingredients.
Return to alchemy table. Take all ingredients from bag. You now weigh almost 5000 pounds. Make some potions. Reload game from autosave when entering house. Retake ingredients. Don alchemy improving gear. Make potions. Dump all ingredients back in bag.
Go to basement. Check list of things needing to be made. Make assorted outfits. Now weighing around 800 pounds go in search of victims. Grab victim and move to well lit location. Try the various outifts on victim until 2 complete sets are found that seem to work. Try to make note of which outfits. Find second victim and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. And repeat. Make another list and head off to Radiant Raiments. Stop playing until partner isn't in the room as she tends to shoot Endarie. A lot. And she's got her own mouse and keyboard.
Start trip back to Lakeview. Get killed by vampires. Reload from leaving Solitude. Get killed by bear. Change out of alchemy gear into armor. Restart trip from Solitude. Arrive back at Lakeview. 5 hours of playing is enough. Start fresh tomorrow.
Next day. Can't find my notes on what attire which character gets... anywhere! Go down to basement, load all attire. Restart process of checking each character. Sophie is missing. Unload all outfits. Retrace steps from yesterday. Find Sophie in Radiant raiments. Return to Lakeview. (We don't fast travel). Grab all outfits and redo all the notes. Eriniel looks like something went wrong in the making of Toy Story II wearing Wolfcry Armor. Try out some weird mod other has dug up on Vilja. Her pussy is showing. Other likes that. We get into a discussion/argument. This is going nowhere.
2 more hours of trying out various outfits. Nothing works on Lydia. She always looks like a inner city bus. Same for Mjoll. Give Lydia pussy display outfit. That sort of works. She can stay at the back of the line. Where was I? Oh. Vilja looks fantastic in one outfit. Make more notes. Other takes over the game in her ongoing alchemy efforts to make deadly poisons. By the time I get control of the game everything is a complete mess. Start again tomorrow. I'm supposed to be checking up on kids antics over in Cyrodil anyway.
To be continued...

Squishy's problem is she's always fussing with stuff. She just needs to get in line with patience my ass, let's just go kill something.

Okay, new plan! Sophie, seeing as you're so ultra cool while being hotter than sunburn... When we meet an enemy you charge in to attack with your rusty trusty Woodcutter's axe. Errr, let's not call it 'bait'. Yes, those stockings are armored. Now Vilja. Your armor rating is now around 1400, give or take. Yes, I'm sorry it's now going to take a half hour to 'go behind a bush'. Can't be helped. You're to practice your chants, mainly protecting me, along with brushing up on your healing skills and of course trying to improve your incredibly wuss destruction spells. Oh yes, go ahead and use your swords if Sophie looks to be in really deep doo doo. Meanwhile, I'm going to hang back and practice my fantastically inept spells while posing indecently for screenshots. Sound good? (Vilja's newest attire ensemble includes enchanted, armor improved, or both: stockings, socks, boots, panties, skirt, belt, pants, bodice, gauntlets, armor and a helmet.) Yet to be implemented. Eryniel was going to be used as bait, extremely indecent but she looks way too cute in full wolfcry armor and set up similar to Vilja. Lydia and Rayva will take care of and protect the kids and animals at the home front attired in naughty but extremely enchanted lingerie and equipped with game breaking weapons. (If they both manage to hit an enemy simultaneously the game WILL crash). Mjoll is nearly finished getting equipped. She will take the place of back up wearing another massive assortment of armor. However she will be topless and equipped with a warhammer that post improvements is worth 32000+ gold. Mess with the gal with bare boobs at your extreme peril, villains. Aela is to be the new bait when finished simply because she looks like an avenging angel or der teufel in menschengestalt in her new black lingerie ensemble as she charges recklessly into any encounter.
