Crimson Desert Spouse Overhaul Mod v0.4.1

                    
In the base game, the wedding ends and your spouse mostly stands around. The Spouse Overhaul mod fixes that with outfits, jobs, summoning, buffs, and real fights at your side. Two parts ship together: the mod itself and an ASI plugin. Since both load through DMM, setup takes a few clicks.
What Your Spouse Can Do Now

Spouse Overhaul: Packs both parts into one 24.7MB zip, with the mod and its plugin side by side.
Dress Your Spouse: Pick from 2,600+ outfits and accessories at the barber under Customize Spouse, with live preview and thumbnails. The Upper Body and Equipment parts sit at the end of the left list. The first option in each list removes that piece.
Keep Their Job: A married merchant, witch, or other job NPC still offers the original job. Aim at them, pick the job item, and the shop opens as usual.
Summon with F5: Calls your current character’s spouse from wherever they are, then they follow you. You can change the key in the settings.
Spouse’s Warmth Buff: Hugging, petting, lifting, leaning on, or enjoying the view with your spouse grants a buff. A heart icon on the bottom-left HUD shows it.
Name and Fight Settings: Choose a new name up to 15 characters. Then pick Fight Together so your spouse joins combat. Restore Name brings the original back.
Combat Gear: Set the main weapon, shield, secondary weapon, helmet, armor, gloves, boots, and cloak your spouse uses in fights. Your items stay in your inventory, and the barber outfit returns after combat.
Remarry: After a divorce, you can romance your former spouse and marry them again, just like the first time.

Is It Worth It?
Your spouse stops being a wedding-day prop and starts acting like a companion. The cost is zero in-game, since combat gear never takes items out of your bag. Still, the mod is young, so expect a few rough edges listed below.
Installation

Download the mod and extract the archive to your PC.
Install Definitive Mod Manager (DMM) if you don’t have it yet.
First, close the game and back up your save before you try any new mod.
Next, import the zip into DMM. You don’t need to unzip it.
Then enable both parts: Spouse Overhaul in the mod list and Spouse Overhaul Plugin in the ASI tab.
Finally, click Apply, start the game, and visit a barber.
To change settings, open bin64\SpouseOverhaul.ini, where each option has a short description.
To uninstall, close the game, disable or remove both parts in DMM, and click Apply. Your spouse then goes back to the original clothes.

Heads Up

The mod needs Crimson Desert 2.04.08 and the Charting the Unknown DLC.
It works with mods that change Kliff’s or Damiane’s appearance, such as Character Creator.
It may conflict with mods that change the barber or the interaction menu.
Your spouse needs a weapon to fight, so they stay out of fights with no weapon or only a shield, as in the base game.
Since the game has no thumbnails for NPC outfits, some hand-made ones look a little different. Outfits made for bosses may still look off.
Job props, such as the merchant’s chair, and the camera may look unnatural during the interaction.
