Editing customization_default_items.xtbl

1.png

The picture is a little too bright to show much detail but you can see the color change.

There is a file in common.vpp_pc called customization_default_items.xtbl
this file contains the outfit that the playa is wearing at the beginning of the game
which consists of the orange jumpsuit, white T-shirt, socks, shoes, etc ...
Well the colors in this file can be changed.

                <Gender>female</Gender>
                </Default>

Note that there are two entries for the jumpsuit, shoes and socks
One is for the male variant and the other for the female.

You can change the color of this clothing. It will not change in the
cutscene but the playa is wearing it once the cutscene ends

In the interest of learning I did try to add a new clothing item
but that did not work. However it did not crash the game.
 
You can change the color of this clothing. It will not change in the
cutscene but the playa is wearing it once the cutscene ends
In the first cutscene, Playa doesn't wear shoes because the default clothing hasn't been applied yet. Instead, the Prison Outfit (from customization_outfits.xtbl) is applied (which doesn't have shoes). If no Outfit is forced in that cutscene, Playa would be naked.

In the second cutscene, Playa will be wearing the shoes designated in customization_default_items.xtbl, because the default clothing has been applied after leaving character creation.

In replays of the second cutscene, whichever shoes you were wearing when the replay started will be worn with the Prison Outfit (from customization_outfits.xtbl).

Tldr: The Prison Outfit (from customization_outfits.xtbl) is used for cutscenes. customization_default_items.xtbl is used for gameplay when starting a new game.

customization_default_items.xtbl also decides the underwear that gets applied in Clothing Stores and the Plastic Surgeon (though changing these items can be buggy).
