Question about moding daily wear of cloths from 10 ticks to 1 tick.
« on: May 07, 2020, 03:14:06 pm »
Is there any way to mod cloths' wear from 10 ticks per day to 1 tick?
The idea is to make leather cloths to last 20 years instead of 2 years.
Is there any way to mend vanilla save for this alteration too?
On an uncompressed save for example?

Clothing wear-out rates are not directly modifiable.
You could possibly lessen the burden of rotting clothes by adding [ARMORLEVEL:1] or higher to every piece of clothing. This will make them military equipment and disable the wear-out effect "civilian" clothing has... However if you do add it to every piece of clothing, that may cause civilians to walk around naked if they're not assigned a military uniform to equip when off-duty (as the game likely looks for [ARMORLEVEL:0] clothes but can't find any to assign; naked civilians) Remember that the upper body, lower body, and feet must be given equipped items in order to avoid unhappy thoughts about missing clothes /uncovered bodyparts.
