From an admin comment on Clothiers of Vvardenfell on MMH:
Definitely not "the largest Better Bodies clothing collection", which is surely Kat's Kastle (over 1,300 items), though all of its items max at an enchantability of about 10, too. (And its quests are broken in OpenMW. And it conflicts with the preview lands of Tamriel Rebuilt. And the items don't have custom icons) Someone needs to patch both of these so they have Exquisite-level enchantability, given the prices of the goods.
I've looked at Kat's Kastle, and the clothing itself doesn't impress me for the most part. I might actually be annoyed by a lot of it if I cared about lore-friendliness.
The 'fashion shows' would be ruined by openMW-related bugs if they didn't already do stuff like play classic rock music and sci-fi sound effects (and generally have other taste issues, but... I actually like that someone bothered to make Morrowind outfits based on such old sci-fi stuff! Probably still too modern for MW; I think the Victorian stuff pushes it - but I like the Victorian stuff). I like to watch them to see why what goes wrong, does go wrong.
Some parts work just fine, such as the KK shop where one can play a few records on an antique gramophone (clearly an imitation of some dwemer craftsmanship, assuming sound-related physics works the same in ESUniverse as ours. Never assume it does! In places, it is quite apparently the opposite!)
So:
1) Kat's Kastle is apparently the biggest clothing mod?
2) openMW issues
3) if I had tried TR more, I'd have found it conflicts with KK?! Sadface.
4) I wish KK were set up like Adul's mods. Adul has one main mod that adds an 'elevator' room, and a bunch of mods that add elevator button teleporters and rooms, each room/mod being a shop. This would probably detract from the quests THAT I CAN'T DO ANYWAY BECAUSE OPENMW but it would let people who maybe don't want a giant mod on their comp just for a few items they want in their game, do so.
5) KK is a weird mod. Some parts seem way, WAY better-thought-out than others.
6) I really wish there were such a thing as a program that could (and would reliably) convert an .omwaddon file into an .esp or .esm one. So many ideas!!
