Clothes at home

What a person owns and is not wearing is in their home: coats, dresses, shirts and trousers hang on the wardrobe's rail, tees, underwear and socks lie folded in the drawers and on the shelves. The player's wardrobe shows the player's clothes (in the colour, pattern and cut they chose); an NPC's home shows the household's.

#How it works

1. Which garment is where. The home storage (Items/storage.json, its clothing table) puts the player's unworn clothes into the wardrobes and drawers when they come home, as cloth:<garment id> lots. When a home's containers hold no garments (an NPC home nobody stocked with clothes), the household's owned, unworn clothes are spread over its pieces in a fixed order instead; a resident nobody has dressed yet gets a wardrobe drawn from the catalogue, the same one on every visit.
2. How it is kept. The first store rule that fits the garment (category, type, slot) says hang, fold (and which fold shape) or none (shoes, jewellery: kept elsewhere).
3. Hanging. The real garment is put on a hidden morphless figure in the hanging pose (the shop mannequins' forms), baked into a static mesh, pressed flat (flatten) and hung on a hanger on the piece's rail. Each garment, colour and pattern is baked once and reused.
4. Folding. A folded-cloth piece of the furniture catalogue (folds), in the garment's own colour (read from its texture, or the colour the owner picked), pattern and fabric finish, stacked on the piece's shelves or in its drawers.
5. Doors and drawers. A wardrobe with clothes stands with its doors open (doors); one drawer with clothes is pulled out to show them (open_drawers), the folded clothes inside move with it.

Nothing happens in a home nobody looks at: a piece is filled once it has been on screen, and the garments are baked a few per frame.

#A home clothes file

<mod>/HomeClothes/*.ulhomeclothes, JSON. Every mod's files are read in load order. store rules: a later mod's are tried first, and a rule whose id comes again replaces the earlier one in place. folds and hosts: an entry whose id comes again replaces the earlier one. Other fields: the last file that sets them wins.

#Top level

#hang

A garment longer than the space under the rail (the catalogue's drop) is kept but not shown.

#store rules

#folds

#hosts

The furniture that keeps clothes. The last entry that fits a piece is used.

#Notes

• Garments hang at their base fit, as on the mannequins: not shaped to the owner's body.
• A garment's colour on a folded piece is the mean of its texture, or the owner's chosen colour; a pattern is drawn as on the garment; a cutout pattern (fishnet, lace) folds to its first colour.
• Children own nothing above the minors' limit, at home as on their body.
