SE, we want to remove "stuck" sandals

Need to get the real "barefoot". When remove shoes or use "the emperor's new boots"

But, stupid yet stuck "sandals"....

They've answered this before. It's because of the leg models and walk/run animations. The calf muscle flexes a certain way based on the angle between leg and foot. (Which is typically why heels make a person's legs look better). Removing the sandals would present a problem because the legs would then look off. Or they'd clip into the local fauna that's been designed with the idea that our characters will always be wearing some kind of footwear. You can already see some of it happening if you zoom in by stairs and other little hills.

Just another lame excuse why we can't have barefoot, pretty sure it could be done if they really wanted to.

yes i'm sure all it takes is just changing a piece of code and voila!

You're probably right.. but they don't. Because who freaking cares.

There is a mod that allows our character to be barefoot... among other things with no such issues. It literally just erases the sandal model, which the devs could easily do. They just don't want to for whatever reason.

Well we all can tell you don't but other people do as this not the first thread about it.

While we're at it can we remove underwear too?

Wouldn't that mod have your character flying quite a bit over the floor because the sandal model is meant to be a visual placeholder for the height that shoes give your character model off the floor?
