ThosRTanner Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 This isn't the usual question about 'why can't I get Lydia to wear glass armour", I promise. Lydia wears heavy armour, so I give her that. However, she currently has in her inventorySuperior Steel Helmet (a/c 30)Steel Plate Helmet (ac 26) And she wears the latter. And if I give her a guard's helmet, she always wears that, even if it has an insanely low armour class. What is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdonin Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 First off, I want to congratulate you on spelling armour properly. Even my dam.ed phone wants me to spell it 'armor' and by Satan's stained knickers, I'm not leaving out a letter just because the trecherois Americans think it convenient! Any who... Without knowing the coding involved, I have noticed preferences towards guard helmets. Not sure why... As for the steel, I've also noticed that when determining what they wear, followers typically pick the highest unmodified AC, even if given a modified piece with higher AC. It's a math error in how the ai determines superiority in gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHolyFragger Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Maybe she was a guard before becoming your housecarl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notmyhome Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Open console, click on Lydia, type "showinventory", remember the IDs of items you want her not to use, then remove it from her inventory via that code. Warning: might leave her naked after dismissing her as a follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThosRTanner Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Open console, click on Lydia, type "showinventory", remember the IDs of items you want her not to use, then remove it from her inventory via that code. Warning: might leave her naked after dismissing her as a follower.That's not what I want to do. If I give her a guard's helmet (or a cultist mask) to carry, I want her to carry it. Not wear it. I understand that she'd prefer heavy armour to light armour but some of the decisions made are just strange. Incidentally, the SkyRimUI mod invariably flags guard/cultists helmets as 'best choices' in your inventory, so there's something plain strange with them Edited July 8, 2014 by ThosRTanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neehsen Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I use Amazing Follower Tweaks (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15524/?) for that. There is an option where you can assign two inventories for your followers. One for the stuff he or she is wearing and one so called backpack where you can store all the loot.
