Add items to NPC

[ThieuxTaffer]

Hi Folks,

 

Is it possible to add items to a NPC? For instance by using a console command? If yes, what do i need to do then?

 

And will NPC's equip new cloths i give them?

 

Thnx.

what do you mean??

do you want a specific NPC to have these items, or do you want to add them to spawned NPCs, like bandits or such??

now, i think that if you find the NPCs ID, you can do this:

 

NPC ID.AddItem ItemCode #

 

but i'm not 100% if this will work

though it is very easy to add an item to an NPC using the CS

all you have to do is find the NPC's inventory, and add the item you want to that inventory

 

hope this help :)

I know i can use the CS, but it's more for role playing. I would like to give some ladies a new dress ingame (from the great dress mod Morrowind Dresses). I'll try the console command you gave.

there are two things you need to remember

the first thing is, i'm pretty sure you need to use the characters ID, so for that you probably need to check the CS

the second thing is, they might not use the dresses, unless they are better than what they have

so you might not see them wearing the dresses, even though they have them in the inventory

I'll try RemoveItem too then. ;)

Well, i tried something out with Jensine and it kinda worked! :D

 

What needs to be done are these steps:

1. open console

2. click the target NPC to set it active

3. type: removeitem <itemID> 1

4. redo step 3 if more items need to be removed

5. type: additem <itemID> 1

6. redo step 5 if more items need to be added

7. close console

8. leave cell (for instance leave the house or store you are in)

9. open console, type: pcb (perch cell buffer) and close console again

10. return to the NPC's cell and check out if it worked --> it worked for me

 

You probably need to leave the cell and come back so that the game loads rings, amulets, capes, wigs, belts etc too. The game loads the changed cloths right away, but refuses to do so with jewelry and other stuff too.

 

Btw, I use the great mod FormID Finder 4. So that I can easely see what the NPC is wearing. :D

"NPC ID".AddItem "ItemCode" # does the job too btw....

[WastelandAssassin]

it should do it, but the NPC doesn't always change the clothing (it depends on the NPCs AI, as far as i know)

 

glad i could help you out :)

[ThieuxTaffer]

Sure you did! Thnx!

If you have the item(s) in your inventory, you can use the Active Inventory Spell to add them to anyone you want to. You can also remove any other items to make sure they use yours.
