Auto Atmos Change Integration:

• If Auto Atmos Change is installed, the "sweater" outfit pool will be used if there's any spritepacks for those installed if the temperature is below 20 degrees C.

Auto Atmos Change Integration:

• If Auto Atmos Change is installed:

Accessory Related Exprops:

• These ex_props allow Auto Outfit Change to categorize bracelets so Monika can pick the ones which will look best with the outfit
• NOTE: Since bracelets aren't fully supported in MAS yet, this is slightly awkward to use. While it's possible to create bracelet jsons, it's not possible to ask Monika to wear them, additionally they have some other issues like clipping for certain outfits with longer sleeves
• NOTE: These expect the bracelet acs to have an acs_type of "wrist-bracelet"

"no bracelet":

• value: ignored
• Flags the outfit such that under no circumstances should Monika wear a bracelet with it
• This is done because it's possible for Monika to change into another outfit, but she'll keep her bracelet on. If an outfit may clip with bracelets, this ex_prop should be used to prevent that outfit from wearing bracelets
