There's Something about Raider Power Armor...

[BlackDragonETM]

So I have no idea if anyone else has noticed this but I'm putting it out there so modders might be able to pinpoint what is allowing the raider PA to stay racked properly with certain mods that like to constantly reset the armor. I stole the armor, brought it back to sanctuary, threw it on a rack, opened console, setownership making it mine, modded it, and been back and forth dozens of times. totalling 3 raider suits and now and atom cats suit all staying adjusted how ever I tweaked it and not resetting back to t-45 basic.

 

The original first suit has been reset numerous times when the others hadn't. Before I leave I change the pain on the original suit and when I come back it's back to basic while the stolen armors are the same. Now up to 3 found suits as well. I disassembled the t-60s and put their parts in a player made locker. I haven't tried clearownership then setownership but I have done setownership on the suits.

 

Sum up stolen armors with setownership are fine found armors with setownership are not.

 

Hopefully with this information the modders can track down what ever it is they need to to fix this so we don't have to wait til geck or use store bought frames to keep our shiny suits...I got a lot more suits I want to put on display!

Ah yes, the cell-reset error. From what I've been hearing, there's no true fix for this without the GECK. However, I think the changes are cosmetic-only? As soon as you access the armor's inventory, it should revert to the actual components, rather than the parts you found on it originally. The only current workaround I've heard of is not storing your armor inside a settlement cell, but that comes with its own problems.

Use bought PA frames, for some reason these are excluded from the cell-reset error and won't revert to their starting values.
