Hide side flap, crotch flap options

Aliyavana

I'm hoping that one day zos creates versions of armor without crotch flaps and side flaps on my armor. Dlc armors only have 1 tier compared to the other non dlc armors and offer more variety of customization... I hope zos adds another tier of dlc armor that has no flaps

From what I have found, Order of the Hour has none of this stuff. Same with Grim Harlequin, although the Chest piece can have a "holster" for something that looks like poison darts.

I put a Heavy Chest and Light Legs on my Magplar and no flippety flappety things to be seen.

I doubt this will ever happen, but I'll say I support it, too. On some armors, like the Khajiit sets, the hip flaps are obnoxiously bad. They look strange when you're not moving and when you run it looks even worse. I'd like the option to turn them off if I choose.

And hide epaulets. Please, that.

On another note, is there a bug with the Abah's Watch armor? My daughter made a set for one of her characters last night and the female cuirass looks almost exactly like the male in shape. On a male character, it looks good. On a female, it looks like she's about sixty seconds away from giving birth to an alien.

I think she submitted a ticket, but I thought I'd mention it since it's clearly a bug of some kind.

Yep grim harlequin is my favorite because of this.

Yes pls.

I use glass heavy but the ribbons trailing cause clipping and look ugly.

I hate these so much. First as a stam dual wield it looks like my weapons just stick right through the hip flaps. So stupid. Let’s design medium armor so the weapons sets have to clip no matter what! That is a great idea.

And then so many great armors are ruined by the stupid physics of the front flap. Why the hell does it have a wrinkle in it half way down??

Definitely hip flaps, why on Tamriel the design team is so fond of them is beyond me.

Yup. I wondered for the longest time if it had something to do with "joins" in armor design (if that makes sense, hiding a join) but then I see armor without them and...well...I hate those things. They ruin so much armor that would be great without them.

Also, most of the low level armors, at least from the original 10 Motifs do not have the flippety flaps. So you can use the Outfit station to make low level pants.

Not sure on the newer motifs as those don't have as much of range of looks from L3 to CP160

I would like to hide the side/thigh flap on most gear. It tends to ride off the thighs, as in you can see air between the legs and armor. This happens a lot with costumes and there way too many I have that do this. I can't use them, hate the way it looks, hate it hate it hate it.

Kajhiit armor never had these flaps. They added thar garbage sometime later.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom we want less flaps

Maybe I'm the weird one on this thread, but I like the flaps. The front/back flaps help cover over a lot of otherwise awkward armor combinations that are especially noticeable now that we can freely combine armor styles and weights however we like. The hip flaps are a little harder to use which they are much more prone to clipping, but I use them to alter my characters' silhouette in ways I wouldn't be able to without an appearance chance.

I do understand and sympathize with those of you who dislike the floating nature of certain flaps. I'm that way with shoulders - I can't stand the ones that are giant and floaty. Give me sleek options that are actually attached to the shoulders any day.

I use Order Hour chests for this reason.
I utterly loathe those stupid hip flaps. Some of them are smaller and more discreet, but the majority of them are huge and ugly.

I dislike both. I never really have liked much of the armor in this franchise. I prefer sleek, simple to pointy, flappy, glowy stuff. Thank goodness for costumes!

the flaps are good but there is certain legs id love to use such as celestial light and the flaps clip horribly through them

I support this message 100x over. I hate the flaps. with a passion. As a matter of fact, the flaps are by far the biggest impact in my decision making when it comes to outfit selection.

I find the flap decisions odd. While I've met a few people who are OK with the flaps, most people I know hate them. I can't understand why ZOS continues to run with the design given this. My only conclusion is someone on the dev team REALLY has the hots for the flaps. Or whoever they're sleeping with does..

Leg plates on the legs? I'd totally be In for that. But please, get them off my hips! I swear the flaps would do more damage to you when moving around and hopping then they'd protect.

Sideflap Crotchflap sounds like a pretty good character name. Well, a terrible name that's fun to say, at least.
