# Location Matching

## Exact Location Outfits

V's outfits: **`outdoor casual`**, **`afterlife`**, **`japantown formal`**

| Where V Is       | Outfit                 | Why                |
| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------ |
| At the Afterlife | **`afterlife`**        | Exact match        |
| In Japantown     | **`japantown formal`** | Exact match        |
| Anywhere else    | **`outdoor casual`**   | No match, fallback |

Press **F10** in-game to see your current location name. See [All Location Enums](https://strahlimeier.gitbook.io/dynamic-wardrobe/advanced/location-enums) for the complete list.

## Separators

Use `/`, `-`, or any non-alphanumeric separator to share one outfit across multiple locations. Separators mean **"either one"**.

V's outfits: **`outdoor`**, **`badlands/coastview rugged`**

| Where V Is      | Outfit                          | Why                  |
| --------------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| In the Badlands | **`badlands/coastview rugged`** | `badlands` matches   |
| In Coastview    | **`badlands/coastview rugged`** | `coastview` matches  |
| In Kabuki       | **`outdoor`**                   | Neither word matches |

## Exact Location vs Region Keyword

Exact location matches always beat region keywords.

V's outfits: **`outdoor`**, **`street tough`**, **`afterlife`**

| Where V Is       | Outfit             | Why                                    |
| ---------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| At the Afterlife | **`afterlife`**    | Exact location beats `street` region   |
| In Kabuki        | **`street tough`** | Region match (Kabuki is a street area) |
| In the Badlands  | **`outdoor`**      | No match, fallback                     |

The Afterlife is both a `street` and `club` location — but `afterlife` is an exact match, so it wins over any region keyword.

## Substring Matching

The mod is flexible with matching — `badlands` in an outfit name will match `southbadlands` in the location.

V's outfits: **`outdoor`**, **`badlands explorer`**, **`southbadlands dusty`**

| Where V Is        | Outfit                               | Why                                                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| In South Badlands | Both match — one is picked at random | `badlands` matches `southbadlands`, and so does `southbadlands` |
| In North Badlands | **`badlands explorer`**              | `badlands` matches `northbadlands`                              |

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to target only South Badlands, use **`southbadlands`** — it won't match `northbadlands`.
{% endhint %}
