I mean, they patched in stinkin' mounted combat that I don't even find useful but they can't add in a simple clothes change for spouses?

Let's be realistic here, it's a simple fix.

Is there a reason why the 1.9 update doesn't include this fix?

Quite abit of potential spouses wear ugly looking clothes. *coughSylgjacough*

You can own a mansion and become the richest person in Skyrim but your wife still walks around in rags. Make no sense.

I just want my spouse to wear Fine clothes, Noble clothes, or Victoria Vici's wedding dress with the wedding wreath.

Why didn't Hearthfire add in the option?

You can change the children's clothes.

Totally agree but may a lightning strike me if I could know the answer.

Have to agree its silly that I can have loads of money be thane of a city own Proudspire Manor but my wife walk around in dirty miners clothes
