How can you make companions change equipment?

Certain armor she'll equip automatically. I was able to give her Power armor, leather, and some merc armor to wear, but she always kept on that stupid hood. There's a mod here called "companion dress up" (or similar) that fixes it, and let's you change all their clothes. It works well and bug free for me, with no issues.

What about weapons?

This new companion wheel looks nice but it causes all kinds of problems. I prefere the "old" style where you could access the inventory directly and without ambiguity.

 

Also, not been able to "talk" to your companion is boring and for RP'ers a real immersion killler. Would be nice to have a conversation with your companion every now and then.

 

Btw: has anyone figured out how to dismiss a companion?

I'm curious what problems the wheel has caused you? i havn't seen any, but that doesn't mean there aren't. Oh, and to hold conversations with your companions, just select "talk to" from the wheel.you can dismiss them from the resulting dialog as well.

They'll change weapons if you give them one better then they're current weapon, and ammo for it.

Specifically, the weapon has to have a higher DPS then their default "magic" weapon. Veronica uses a 10mm pistol by default, so look at the list of guns in the wiki and find something with a higher DPS. Good choices are the Lever Action Shotgun (20ga) with slug ammo or the Hunting Shotgun with 12ga slugs. Or you could give her a 44 magnum or .357 pistol with the heavier ammo, but one of the two shotguns is my preferred choice at the moment.

 

Even with the better weapons, she'll still switch to her melee weapon (she has the unique "Pusher" that I found) when enemies get too close.

 

Armor - is probably based on the DT value since there is no DR. Give her higher DT armor, she'll equip it. Her hood just has very good DT and it's nearly impossible to find something better.

 

I never put explosives into my humanoid companion's inventory... I just don't trust them not to *ban me* up along with the enemy.
