Get an NPC to equip a new legendary item.

[MoneyBagsModmann]

So I followed this tutorial on creating new legendary items to create a unique version of the standard flannel shirt under armor and set it up so that when the quest runs the outfit spawns inside a new NPC's inventory.

 

Problem is that I want the NPC to be wearing the new legendary outfit when the player first meets them and spawning an item in an NPC's inventory no longer means that they'll automatically equip it. I've looked at the script form and there doesn't seem to be a way to get it to be added to the NPC's outfit.

 

So I was wondering if anyone has any kind of solution to this, Thanks.
