"I feel like removing these restrictions would make it feel more like SR2 in some ways. It wouldn't be layering, but it would be better than what we have now!"

About the mod:
The goal of "A Bit More Layering" is to bring as much layering as possible to the SRTT clothing system.Like me, you probably noticed something weird with the clothes in SRTT: the bras would always disappear no matter what kind of shirt you put on, even if the shirt had some exposed part that should logically reveal the bra. Same for the boxer shorts and panties that would be hidden by all Lower Body items regardless of how much skin they are showing. The necklaces and chains also suffered much of the same fate, disappearing when wearing most of the Upper Body items.
This mod removes many of the <Obscured_slot> flags inside customization_items.xtbl and dlc2_customization_items.xtbl in a thoughtful and logical way, in order to be able to see many smaller item when wearing clothes that should not be covering them, while also keeping those small items hidden when wearing clothes that should logically cover them, as to avoid clipping.

Wrists items are now visible while wearing the following item:

Gloves and rings are now visible while wearing the following item:

Legend:
Pink means that the item is only included in the "Female Player Character" version (because there's too much clipping with male characters)Red means that the item is clipping with several other items
Yellow mean that the item is clipping with a single other item
Green means that the item will most likely clip with extrem body proportions (mainly fat and sex-appeal)
Miscellaneous change:
-If using SRIV Customization Items, bottom underwear items will no longer be visible while wearing the "jeans" and "track pants" items (they were visible by default but this didn't add anything except clipping, because you wouldn't be able to see underwear under those pants anyway).-If using SR:TT | Stilwater Swimsuit, the price of the titular item will be 500$ instead of 11$ (500$ is the price of "the go-go" dress in the vanilla game, Admixon replaced it with the Stilwater swimsuit and changed the price asociated to the item to be 11$, I just thought the vanilla price of 500$ was more fitting for such an iconic item).
Before/After pictures:
Compatibility:
A Bit More Layering includes compatible versions for the following mods (and any combination of them) :-Any nude mod
-New Clothing for Sale & New(er) Clothing for Sale
-Steelport Gangs DLC fixes
-SR:TT | Stilwater Swimsuit
-SRIV Customization Items
A Bit More Layering is fully compatible with the following mods :
-SR4 Hairstyles for SR3
-Mamba Leather Jacket Texture Fix
-Shiny clothes for the main character
-Hot Boots variations
-FBI Agent Clothes
-Drive Movie Jacket
-Hooters Tanktop for SRTT & Hooters Shorts for SRTT
-Punisher Logo
-Revy, Black Lagoon in SRTT
-and basically any other mod that doesn't use customization_items.xtbl or dlc2_customization_items.xtbl
*Although don't forget that if you want to use some of these mods together you'll need to use SR3 ASM_PC files updater.
Installation:
-Install any combination of the following mods (if you wish to use them): nude mod, New Clothing for Sale, New(er) Clothing for Sale, Steelport Gangs DLC fixes, SR:TT | Stilwater Swimsuit, SRIV Customization Items. Which customization_items.xtbl file gets priority doesn't matter at this point so don't worry about that.-Run the SR3 ASM_PC files updater if needed.
-Download A Bit More Layering and open the archive. You should now be faced with 32 different files on top of the readme, just open the one that corresponds to your mod list.
-Once you've opened a file you should now have a choice between two files: "Female Player Character" and "Male Player Character". The only difference between these two is that the female version contains a few more modified items that have a lot of clipping with male characters. So if you play as a male and don't mind clipping, you can just use the female version without any problem.
-Once you've decided between the male or female version you should see two or three .xtbl files, put these in the SR3 root folder (where the .exe files are located) and overwrite everything you've previously downloaded. And done!
Future plans:
-Fix the baldness issue with "women's track top up" and "fleur de saints hoodie".-Make additional changes to "decker soldier", "morningstar specialist", "luchador soldier", "Aisha suit"and "Spank me" (I need to do a bit more digging to be able to fully modify these items).
-Completely rework the wrestling and bondage masks to make them work with hats, glasses, and earrings when appropriate.
As you can see this mod isn't quite finished. But I just couldn't keep adding stuff for now. I didn't want to delay the release further, this mod already took way more time than it should have. I barely have enough time to play games anymore, let alone create mods, like most mod makers it would seem...
I am open to criticism, and if you think something should be changed I am willing to consider it. Besides I probably missed a few items that could be improved as well, so don't hesitate to let me know if you see something in game that could use some more layering.
Tools used:
