Description

This is a collaboration work by Mr.BBQ and me.

This mod adds a formal necktie for men, with 45 colorswaps (currently), available for HIMBO/SAM/SOSAM/BILF body.

The tie has HDT-SMP (clothes physics and collision) built-in, but I also provide a "static" version.

The tie uses "35 - Amulet" slot and functions the same as an amulet in game.

Requirements

HDT-SMP (Hard requirement)

Sky Patcher (Soft requirement): If you have "Sky Patcher" installed, then the "Crafting Motif" will be available for purcahse at vendors. With the "Crafting Motif" in your inventory, you can craft all items at the tanning rack or at the forge. If you don't want to use "Sky Patcher", just use "AddItemMenu" or "Screen Archer Menu" to add items into your inventory.

If you use SAM: SAM Light High Poly

If you use HIMBO: HIMBO + BodySlide and Outfit Studio

If you use SOSAM or BILF: SOSAM

If you want to build your own body preset: BodySlide and Outfit Studio (If you use HIMBO, this is a hard requirement; if you use SAM/SOSAM/BILF, this is usually not needed)

If you are not using the latest game version, you also need: Backported Extended ESL Support

Installation

First download and install main file. Choose your desired body during FOMOD installation.

Then optionally download 4K textures. 2K textures are default and included in the main file.

BodySlide files are uploaded as separate download. Note that the weight slider in bodyslide is 1-0 for SAM and 0-1 for HIMBO.

If you use HIMBO body, remember to build the meshes in BodySlide. The group name is "HIMBO Invincible69 Formal Tie Pack".

Items

Get in Game

Purchase "Crafting Motif: Formal Tie Pack" from any general vendor (such as Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun), keep it in your inventory and craft them at the tanning rack. No perk is required for the crafting. They can't be tempered. They function the same as amulets. Leave the book at home so as not to clutter the crafting menu.
