Replacement for Dressing Room?

I want to be able to swap gear/skill sets. I tried Dressing room and it looks like it SHOULD work great, but it doesn't reliably swap. It looks outdated so I was wondering if there is another Addon that will do the same thing.

Anyone know of a addon that will allow me to swap gear and skill sets at the same time? So basically, have a PvP and a PvE setup and be able to swap between? Or a tank and DPS setup?

Thank you.

    Are you trying to swap in combat? Dressing room works fine for me.

    That update is deprecated since the original mod has been updated itself.

    OP keep in mind you must not be in combat to switch stuff, and you must change bars in order to swap out your secondary bar as well. Remember to always do that before you enter combat or you will only have half completed your swap.

    Dressing Room lets you do that. Just not in combat (but no addon whatsoever will let you swap in combat, that's API limitation).
    There are only two situations where Dressing Room will not swap reliably :
    - You are in combat
    - You use the same item in different slots in two different saved sets (i.e. a sword for your DW setup and the same sword in the other hand for your S&B setup).

    Otherwise Dressing Room works 100% fine.

    That addon just fixed some change of logic in IDs that ZOS implemented in some update. If you saved your setups after the update, the fix was not needed. Which means, it is not needed now.

    Just to clarify, I tried this multiple times while NOT in combat. In fact, I was standing in the bank in Gold Coast where I had just taken my second set out.

    I will try it again.

    I have noticed that the non-activated bar won't swap until you move to it when you use the left side button. If you use just the right side skill bar button it will only swap skills on the bar you have active at that time and not the other.

    Dressing Room works like a charm, unless you've removed part of a set combo from your inventory or try to use it in combat.

    Bear a few things in mind:
    1. Make sure you're using the most updated version. You may even want to reinstall, in case it's become corrupt.
    2. Use the buttons on the right to swap only one skill bar (active one) or gear set.
    3. Use the button on the left (Set 1, Set 4, etc.) to swap everything at once. You'll have to bar swap to get the second skillset to take.
    4. You can keybind the last option to hotkeys, as well. You can also rename the sets to a more useful descriptive.

    Make sure if you've swapped out a single piece for a better trait, different enchant, that you re-save the gearset. It's only as good as they information you provide it.

    100x better than Wykkyd's Outfitter/Macros combo, imo.

    @Meetre , that's kind of a built in "saftey," (Can't pierce armor with a restro staff, it turns out.) You can disable that restriction in the settings, if you choose.

    I'd recommend, instead, so simple expand the number of rows/columns for multiple skill load-outs for different scenarios.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    "Alpha Gears Lives" is a continuation of the original "Alpha Gear," and it works well for me.
