Have you considered...
...
- What is this?
-
The Labelle Litanizer generates random Animal Crossing:
New Leaf outfits. Ignoring the realities of the period
and distribution of your random number generator, all possible
outfits should have some chance of appearing.
- What's with the name?
-
It's inspired by Ian
Bogost's Latour
Litanizer, and his writings about objects and carpentry
more generally.
- Why?
-
Latour litanies confront us with objects in a way that defies
our usual methods of grouping or reduction. In a similar way
the Labelle Litanizer asks us to consider the possible rather
than merely the desirable or expected. New Leaf
contains a huge number of objects you can wear (or otherwise
visibly present with, if you are uncomfortable saying you are
"wearing" an ice cream cone). But that scale and diversity is
obscured due to its grouping algorithms, the small number
presented at any one time, and our cultural norms about dress.
-
Can I restrict it to my / catalogable / easily-accessible items (no
DLC / region-exclusives)?
-
No. Instead, consider how the true Daseine of the
objects you think you have are also inaccessible to you.
- Can you add images?
-
I would like to, but a full set of wearable object images
doesn't exist, and if it did I probably couldn't host it here
due to its size (estimated ~150MB). If you have one and want
to host it, let me know.

It can't generate some valid outfit.
You're missing my favorite item.

with the details, please. I'm certain there's still
miscategorized caps/hats vs. masks/helmets, and plenty of
items I forgot.
