Hello, and welcome to the first version of the Anders romance mod! Installation: Place "Anders Romance Outfit Change - v 1.erf" into your Override folder. If you do not know where your "Override" folder is, it is found under the same Dragon Age 2 folder that stores your user data (this is the same Dragon Age 2 folder where any screenshots taken in-game will be stored). This will usually be found in your "My Documents" or "Documents" folder, in the "Bioware" folder, and is NOT the one found under your Program Files. This should be the case for both Macs and PCs, but if you have wound up with an alternate filepath, try to find your in-game screencaps folder and navigate up to the "Dragon Age 2" folder. Once you are in this folder, go into "packages", then "core". There should already be a folder named "override" in here; if there is none, and are sure you are in the right location, you may create one. Once in the "override" folder, you can just paste the files there. Uninstallation: !!IMPORTANT!! The edits made by this mod will be stored into your save file. If you wish to remove this mod at any point, you MUST uninstall it properly, or you may face issues with Anders' head and armor disappearin. To uninstall, first delete "Anders Romance Outfit Change - v 1.erf" from your Override folder. After that, unzip the uninstallation file included with this mod and place it into your Override file, then launch your game. Like the main file, the uninstaller will run on every area load; it may be safely removed if you have no remaining saves where Anders is using his romance outfit. Features: This mod adds two romance outfits for Anders - one a version of his first armor, and the second a version of his dark armor. In addition, this mod provides a third outfit for Anders in the form of a blue house robe similar to that worn by Hawkes while in the Estate, as it seemed a little strange to me that he'd just be standing around the house in full armor. If anyone requests, I will upload a version with only the two romance outfits. This mod additionally adds a visible hair tie for Anders intended to stand in as a Hawke's favor hair tie; however, it should be noted that in this form, the hair tie is a dark brown, as I am unable to make a separate red hair tie without exportation of models to DA2. When I find a way to do so, this mod will be updated. Additionally, this mod will automatically load Anders into his appropriate spot in the Estate after he moves in during Act 2, rather than the game standard behavior wherein Anders only shows up in Act 3. This does not, to the extent of my knowledge, affect any cutscenes or cause any other inappropriate behavior, and has been tested with the post-All That Remains conversation to ensure functionality. This functionality will not trigger until the Estate is left and reloaded after the Anders romance confirmation. There is a known issue with this mod where the party select screen will display Anders in his basic outfit. Though I would like to fix this eventually, it does not affect any other in-game elements, and is mostly a minor strangeness. Agenda for Subsequent Release: This mod, as is, provides sufficient functionality for an Anders romance change outfit. As adding the additional features I want would delay the mod by weeks, I have elected to release this version as-is. In future releases, I would like to implement the following: -An automatic outfit change for Anders during the post-sex scene, which I am not currently able to do now. -Changing the Anders model in the party picker screen to show his romance outfit as well -Changing Anders' hair tie to red. -Automatic hiding of Anders' staff in the Estate (rather than simply using the full "hide weapons" mod.) Notes: I find two additional requests based off of this mod likely: 1. A Sebastian romance outfit change 2. Giving Merrill her own set of house robes. Unfortunately, I am unable to do either on my end as of now due to a combination of inability to export meshes to DA2 and lack of documentation for the appropriate plot flags, but I have provided the source script for this mod with clear documentation should anyone wish to implement either on their end and upload it. Permissions: I freely grant the ability to use this mod in other mods, as well as to override any of the Anders romance outfits with their own, as long as cedit is given and I am told about it (I do not require advance permission; I'd just like to know.) I welcome anyone who knows how to fix any of the issues listed for the agenda above. You are additionally at complete liberty to unpack the source .erf in order to access additional source files and to include the Anders romance outfit mods in any edits, renders, or other fan creations. Suggested supplemental mods: -Anders Romance Dialogue Overhaul: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/4000 Another mod of mine that offers a variety of changes to the Anders romance, including a final kiss in the Gallows for the Friendship route, restored dialogue plot flags, a Karl conversation for female Hawkes, and a selection of additional optional changes to balance out some of the stranger gendering between the m!Hawke and f!Hawke romance routes. -Hide Weapons: http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/2150/? A mod to hide weapons for characters, which should take care of the strangeness of Anders wearing his staff while in the Estate. -DAI Tattoo and Blood Smear Imports (+ freckles): http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/4014/? Not necessary for this mod, but this is the source of the tattoo and nose smear for my Hawke that may be seen in these screencaps. If you experience any issues or have any questions about how to install this mod, please let me know and I will get to them ASAP!
