Clothing Mod Compatibilities

I am not even intending to get into stuff like, Shop for clothing store/mod A is concealed entirely by mod for clothing store/mod B. I just figure, before I forget again, I should type up the fact that I've tried a few clothing mods, and.... modders can't seem to agree on a single clothing type for their dresses!

Now, robes make the most sense to me, but Clothiers of Vvardenfell dresses/gowns are generally shirts, by which I mean you can't wear one /and/ a vanilla shirt. By contrast, peasant gowns by Korana, from the shop placed in Pelagiad, inside the castle walls, are generally skirts.

I do not know why modders did this. I can think of a few reasons: 'I wanted to wear my dress and this robe at the same time.' 'I wanted to assign my clothes to an article of clothing that I think is underused.' 'I did it because I could.' THESE ARE GUESSES. No modder was consulted by me, about this.

This is important to know. I never thought much about it til wearing a dress and shoes got me all manner of 'You're naked!' comments from NPCs. Well, these comments make sense when you realise that they thought I was wearing a shirt and shoes!

The fix is easy enough for shirts-dresses: put some trousers on! Or panties, because, you know, they exist in the CoV mod. But skirt-dresses? Ehhh....

I want to wear them sometimes, but the reactions get in the way.

There is a mod to remove those, but for some reason when I use it, it interferes with other dialogue. I'm lazy, and it's less work for me to not wear those garments, vs. try to fix the mod.

The oddest to me are the clothing mods that have garments - generally short skirts and Azriel's weapon sheathes in my experience - that are technically left pauldrons. I tend to leave them alone too, but I like some other stuff from those mods.
