Swapping T-60 Power Armor in Pre-War Intro to T-51b

And it's just not working. Using FO4Edit, of course.

 

Trying to make a mod that alters a few key aspects of T-60 lore to something that, to me, makes way more sense than it being a Pre-War prototype. Namely that it was developed by the Capital Wasteland BOS after defeating the Enclave at Adams AFB using reverse engineered tech from their pre-existing T-51b models and salvaged APA MkIIs, with the 'tried and true' T-45d serving as a framework to build around. Cost-effective, durable, dependable, powerful, etc. Because that's kinda what it looks like to me >_>

 

Anyway, the Loading Screen text of the T-60 worked just fine, even though there's a 255 character limit that I'm really hoping is removed at some point in the future, but no matter what I can't seem to force the two soldiers at the military checkpoint to spawn in T-51b Power Armor. (MQ101PowerArmorSoldierMale and MQ101PowerArmorSoldierWithLaser) My first instinct was to swap out the PFRN (Power Armor Stand) value from the default PowerArmorFurnitureT60_Military for a custom one based on the PowerArmorFurnitureT51 PFRN (copied it as a new record, added a 'b' to the formID and swapped out the default LL for the T-51b set), since, well...that makes sense, right?

Didn't work, though. Still spawns with the T-60. I've tried shoving a full set of T-51b pieces into their inventory, but that didn't work either (I didn't think it would). I've tried doing the same thing to the custom PFRN, and changing their default outfit to those armor pieces... I even tried just swapping out the Leveled List in the default PFRN to the T-51b, since I thought maybe if the name was the same it'd magically work, but nothing seems to change their Power Armor. And yet, I can give them any weapon at all and they'll equip it just fine.

 

I'm at a loss here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

i could not agree more with you, i love the T-60 but bethesda (maybe to exited about their new awesome power armor model) really f***ed up his lore, instead of being a post-war overhauled version of the old but trusty T-45, wich would not only make sense but actually bring a really interesting new lore point (the brotherhood now being able to not only salvage and repair old suits but to build their own to some degree) they decided to just say its a pre-war prototype that for some reason was only implemented on the national guard during the last days riots in the U.S.

 

that makes me crazy, the T-60 should be a brotherhood exclusive, something that only they could give you simply because they are the only ones who knows how to build.

 

same thing goes for the X-01, i could stand the fact that his apperance in Boston is somewhat another lore hiccup, but for her to appear everywhere after level 30 or so is really anoying, at least for me

 

if you ever make a mod that fixes the T-60 lore i would actually be willing to pay you for it, and if, while you are at it, can also fix the power armor spawn, that would be great
