Capes for NPC-Construction Set

[DariusMoranda]

Ok I came back at home ,thrilled and excited to continue with our mod progress, but I had to run on a 'cape' problem.

 

Why do NPC's refuse to wear a cape when you put it in their inventory?

 

I tried with the 'amulet' thing, nothing.Tail slot as well.

 

Is there any possible solution for this?

 

Thanks in advance

What type of clothing slot does your particular cape use? If a cape from a certain mod used an amulet slot, then you would want to be sure that the NPC had no other amulets to wear instead.

 

I am pretty ignorant on this, but I would think that a mod which used a cape which utilized a tail slot cape might require a special skeleton for all characters who were intended to wear this cape. But I am not certain of that.

 

What cape mod are you using?

 

Is your cape dependent upon having another mod activated?

 

I saw this mod that addresses the problems some people are having with some mods: CAPES AND CLOAKS in the Amulet Slot for Companions to Equip

I did ran across that mod a couple of months ago.It didn't work for me in game at all,though,for some people it did.

 

I don't use capes and cloaks mod, I use an armor mod which comes with a cape as well.

 

The cape is added manually,without an esp dependent . It uses a tail slot, I saw it when I loaded up that file only to see if I missed something,so I made the same one, but still had no luck. And I moved everything else from the inventory to see if that helps at all, and again, a failure. :wallbash:

 

Bethesda should have made some capes for this game. :wallbash:

A good friend of mine Unavi managed to make his cape animated. (When you jump it has fall time)

 

It's not amazingly hard to do either and it looks awesome :)

 

but I don't really know how to get the cape to go on, it should do it.

1. NPC won't wear any tail-slot item. You can use force-equipping mod like LT_EquipTailItem, but do not try to make many NPCs wear them. The author warned it can make the game crash.

2. If the NPC has tail, wearing tail-slot items will cause losing tail.

The best way is to just make a custom cuirass/shirt and combine them. When they wear the shirt/cuirass, the cape goes with it. :thumbsup:
