About this mod

Adds several outfits to every squad mate for LE1, which can be applied with Appearance Modification Menu LE1 (required).

Permissions and credits
Adds a bunch of new casual outfits for all squad members. The main outfits are various refits of the N7 hoodie and a new outfit based on Nyreen's cloak/tunic. Want to have Kaidan Steal FemShep's hoodie even though it's too small for him? You can do that now. Want to have Tali steal BroShep's big hoodie? You can do that now. Maybe BroShep just likes to get hoodies that are several sizes too small and show off his body. He can do that now. Maybe FemShep likes to be cozy in an oversized hoodie. She can do that now.

All outfits are available within Appearance Modification Menu.

Hoodies
Now everyone can steal Shepard's hoodie and wear it. By default, all will be the N7 hoodie ported from LE3, but if you also have Audemus' Squadmate Appearance Pack, Alliance hoodie variants will be available, and if you have Becka's Spectre Hoodies then blue and purple Spectre variants will be available once Shepard is made a Spectre.

Ashley, FemShep, and Liara will all get a fitted hoodie (ported from LE3) and a baggy hoodie.
Tali will get a small hoodie and a large, baggy hoodie.
Kaidan and BroShep will get a tight hoodie with three different levels of buffness, the standard hoodie fit (ported from LE3), and a baggy hoodie.
Garrus and Wrex will each get a massive hoodie suitable for their frames.

Tough Tunic
I used assets from a few LE3 Female Turian (AKA TUF in the game files, thus the name) and refitted it to other characters to create new outfits.

Ashley, FemShep, and Liara will each get two color variants of the tunic, with and without gloves, with the hood up or down. Note that there are several different hood up options for Shepard to work with different hairs. Try it out and pick the one that looks best, or stick with the hood down version.
Tali will get a few color variants of the tunic and underlying environment suit.

Installation
This mod must be installed using ME3Tweaks Mod Manager, and Appearance Modification Menu LE1 is required for it to work. It can be safely added or removed any time in a play through. 

Compatibility
As mentioned, this mod is designed to work with Audemus' Squadmate Appearance Pack and Becka's Spectre Hoodies. Install order does not matter; if both are present, extra outfits will be available. 
If installed after the excellent Children of Rannoch, this mod will auto patch and all of Tali's new outfits will be based on the Children of Rannoch model with the visor opacity you selected. I will consider better compatibility with other Tali appearance mods in the future. Let me know if you are interested. As it is, this should work with other Tali mods, the new outfits will just be based on the vanilla model for Tali.
There are no other known compatibility issues.

Permissions
Everything in the main mod (excluding the Children of Rannoch compatibility patch) was made by me based on vanilla assets. You have permission to use these assets however you like, though credit is appreciated if you make something using them. I intend at some point to make these outfits available in LE2 and LE3, but if someone gets to it before I do, that's ok.

Known Issues
There will be clipping and weird stretching, especially around the armpits, and especially on the baggy outfits. This is unavoidable, and I have cleaned it up as much as I reasonably can. This game engine was not designed for baggy clothes (there is no cloth physics) and even the vanilla outfits have rampant clipping. The outfits are recommended for casual use, but should be set up for combat if you want to do that using the mod settings of Appearance Mod Menu. Wrex's hoodie outfit in particular will have clipping in many animations. The baggy clothes will look weird in certain poses; again, there are no cloth physics in this game engine. There will also be neck seams in certain outfits. This is also nearly unavoidable, but they are no worse than the vanilla neck seams, as they are based on vanilla outfits. I hope to add more color variants, and maybe improve the refitting, but the known issues here are unlikely to be fully fixed.
I have used hardcoded strings rather than stringrefs, which I know makes it much more difficult to localize it. I intend to rectify this at some point, it is just a lot of work to set up, and I wanted to get this mod out there.

Credits
All assets in the main mod are ported and modified by me from vanilla assets.
I used the excellent Tank Top Casuals for Shepard from horography as a reference to make sure FemShep was appropriately buff in the Tough Tunic outfit, though no assets from that mod are shipped here. Thank you to horography for making this mod and for making the permissions open.
Models in the Children of Rannoch compatibility folder are made by Mith and NaNuke, and modified by me. Thank you so much for permission to patch with your excellent mod.
Textures used for the Alliance and Spectre hoodies are made by Audemus and Beckaboo. They are not shipped by this mod, only referenced. Thank you to both of them for allowing me to reference your assets to make more outfits available.
Thank you to all the other mod authors for your feedback, encouragement, and help learning Blender. You inspire me to learn new things and make my silly ideas real.
