Change npc clothing while in game

[foxgrin]

I know there is a spell with the Carcernus Prison mod that allows you to remove target items and everything in thier inventory vanishes. Tho you don't get thier items using that spell, they just lose them.

 

I believe there are mods that alter what npcs wear but it's a change in the files before you load your game. So what they are wearing when you see them is what they continue to wear in the game. I don't have any mods like this so I'm not sure how they work exactly.

 

What I'm hoping for is a mod that allows you to give npcs clothing while IN THE GAME and they put it on. Maybe weapons and other items too. I know it's been done for companions but could it be done for npc's?

 

I've tried using the console to 'kill' an npc and then took thier inventory items and replaced them with what I wanted them to wear. Then I resurrected them. Once alive again they wore what they were wearing before I killed them. When I killed them again they still had the item in thier inventory that I had given them to wear. I even tried following an npc around for days hoping they would put on the item I gave them (that I knew was in thier inventory.) No such luck.

 

Could a mod like this be possible or impossible?

This is very possible. All you would have to do is add the items to their inventory and have them equip it (using scripting ofcourse) but you could only do 1 outfit per spell and thus would need several spells.

Thanx for the info. I'm really hoping there are modders out there who might like this for themselves as well and use this idea. I'm not a modder and don't have time to become one right now. Having clothes and other items be equipable on npcs in game could add an interesting angle to game play, especially when you equip weapons or armor on them. The fighting could become more intense or easier depending on the situation;<)

I think what you are looking for is called Toaster Says Share.

 

If you want the NPC to wear what you give them you will probably have to take away their regular clothes. Also, most NPCs reset after so many days. to prevent this use the Construction Set to remove the respawn attribute.
