How to get custom character to use custom skins and components?

Followers

I have been reading the LSPDFR articles about what each data file does and how to change the .xml files but my pea brain cannot figure out how to do this. I have british peds installed and was just wondering how, if at all, I can get my custom character to use these? Thanks!

If you have installed British police clothing components that are designed to be used by the custom characters, then you can use these by editing your outfits.xml file.

If you have installed British police peds (i.e. replacing s_m_y_cop_01 etc.) then you can't use these with a custom character as they entirely different things. Instead, you could use a Preset Character which is like the old system. You can go to the character selection menu and choose Preset Characters to look at all of the different presets available.

You can also define your own presets using the data files.

Right okay I get you, thank you for your answer and amazing mod. I will look for british clothing components or even make my own. How would I set this up in the Outfits.xml if you don't mind me asking?

Have a look here: https://www.lcpdfr.com/wiki/lspdfr/04/modding/doc/outfit/

Play around with changing the XML first, see what happens if you change things.
