Jenassa's Armor

[DirebearCoat]

After the fact (of course) I found out that since Jenassa uses leather armor (light armor), she won't wear metal plate armor (heavy armor).

So, after recruiting her into The Blades, she kept wearing her leather armor.  I finally took everything I gave her plus whatever she had with her before.

After not going to The Blades' new hideout, I went back and there she was, wearing The Blades' armor and armed with The Blades' sword.

I looked in her inventory and found that she had absolutely nothing.  So, I gave her a set of Blades armor upgraded to Legendary, with two enchantments, heavy armor skill and health.  The rest of the armor pieces were similarly upgraded to Legendary and had two enchants, each.  Made her some double enchanted jewelry, too.

I gave her a Blades sword, upgraded to Legendary with Fire and Shock damage enchants, and an Ebony Bow upgraded to Legendary with Fire and Shock enchants.

So, Jenassa still had the appearance of wearing the heavy armor, but she won't equip the Blades armor I made for her.  She'll use the weapons, and the jewelry, though, but not the armor.

I'm using Amazing Followers Tweaks, but I haven't tried using that to assign her that armor.  When I get to the part that I refuse to kill Parthaanax, the followers won't be following me anymore, so I think any changes I made using AFT will go away.

Is there another way to make her wear the armor that won't break the game?  I am DEEP, DEEP FAR IN game saves that going back to a save before I recruited her, will erase ALL KINDS of other game progress.  So, that's out.

By the way, as an aside:

Eric The Slayer wears heavy armor, but he keeps taking the Blades armor I made for him off.  When he "departs my service," and walks through a door, when I go through the door, I see he goes back to his default armor.  How can I fix it so that he keeps it on?
