Nezha Lady's Slops 'n Socks

- Now an equal-opportunity mod for 2025!

This mod takes the Nezha Lady's Slops and turns them into separate shorts, socks, or both, fitted to three sizes of Bibo+ bottoms, for all talls, and TBSE, also for all talls. Also included are a custom texture which makes most of the ivory-colored sections transparent (letting your skin texture/tattoos/scar/etc show through), and some colorset edits to update the whole thing to Dawntrail shaders and make the bottom-most section of the socks match the shorts color.

I talk a lot and I'm very sorry. This mod likely has a TON of redundancy in it due to me being a newbie, and I'm also very sorry for that.

Colorset/shaders:
If you don't want the secondary dye to be metallic-looking, colorset edits are very simple!
- Just open "Advanced Editing" for the mod, go to the materials tab, and load up the right material file ("mt_c0201e6045_dwn_a.mtrl" for all shorts/both versions, and the socks-only versions are the ones that start with "socks large" etc).
- From there, go down to "color table", find "physical parameters", and in rows 3/4/6/7 where it's currently 20% roughness and 90% metalness, just put it at 10% roughness and 0% metalness.
- Play around with the numbers if you like, or make your own test mod to see what the values do, it's capable of some really cool stuff now!

The gear:
* Shorts - Just the shorts, leaving your legs mostly bare.
* Socks - Just the stockings, and here's where it gets a little tricky, whatever your gender.
* Both - The standard appearance for this gear, making the only upgrades the texture and colorset edits, plus whatever sizing/model you pick.

IMPORTANT: When you switch genders, or from shorts/both to socks only, adjust the mod settings so that every combo you DON'T need is on "-Do not install-". I mean it. You'll get weird layering and flickering and not the intended effect otherwise.

FOR THE STOCKINGS TO WORK — BIBO+:
1. Equip Bone Ring (left), whether that's actually equipped, glamoured the vanilla way, or using Glamourer.
2. UNequip your Nezha Lady's Slops or whatever you're wearing for bottoms that's glamoured with them.
3. You are now free to move about the cabin, as well as equip/glamour whatever you like in the way of underwear, different shorts, a skirt, or just show off your coochie and pubes for a sexy time.
4. However you achieve this look, dyes on the Bone Ring (left) will appropriately dye the stockings.
5. If you're wondering why this is categorized as a NSFW mod, it's because I used the naked Bibo+ legs rather than the smallclothes ones. Unless you use underwear modded to some bottoms, you're just going to have everything hanging out.
6. This also means that unless the other bottoms you use (underwear or not) are also sized for Bibo+, the socks may be way too big, plus any custom skin textures or overlays won't show through.
7. If you use multiple things that hook into Bibo+, you'll need to make sure you have the correct leg size set in ALL of them. During testing on the socks, I had serious clipping on medium and small and couldn't figure out why; it was because I hadn't changed the size in the Better Pubes Framework. Don't be dumb like me.
8. You need Bibo+ installed at a lower priority than this mod.

FOR THE STOCKINGS TO WORK — TBSE:
1. This is super duper simple compared to Bibo.
2. Equip Bone Ring (left) however you choose.
3. UNequip the slops, or whatever you're wearing that's glamoured with them.
4. Change your settings in TBSE for what you want to look at, and then change what you're wearing for bottoms accordingly! For example, if you want the socks with TBSE A Erect, you'd put TBSE on A for Emperor's New Breeches, and then either equip, glamour, or mod your outfit so that you're wearing Emperor's. For flaccid, remember that it's just "Nothing"; there is no player Smallclothes item.
5. Dyes on the Bone Ring will dye the stockings appropriately.
6. Unfortunately this doesn't play as nicely with other TBSE gear as the Bibo version does. If you have a particular piece of bottom gear you want to wear the Nezha socks with, hmu on Discord and I'll see what I can do!
7. You need TBSE installed at a lower priority than this mod.

A BIG CAVEAT:
- BIBO - Knee-high footwear breaks "shorts" and "both" due to boots having their own vanilla skin applied. Thigh-high footwear is fine as long as you have it set to "shorts"; your calves and the stockings will stick out through the boots otherwise.
- TBSE - Really bad things happen with both knee-high and thigh-high footwear, on both "shorts" and "both". I'm very sorry about this.

Credits: Bibo+ refits are FreyaPurrito's (https://heliosphere.app/user/9mjs2qydhh28s15be5fwx6k258), I just took care of the slight clipping issues. TBSE refits are eremm's (https://xivmodarchive.com/modid/122522); I dealt with some slight clipping and the fact that the legs still didn't have skin under the stockings.
