Replace Brotherhood Power Armor With Modded PA?

[Daedalusapollo]

I'm trying to replace the Brotherhood Power armor with a specific power armor mod, so as to fit a thematic world I created, is there a way to do that?

 

I remember in the past it was easier to do it for normal armors, which I was able to do for their standard jumpsuits, but not for the PA.

It's been a while since I checked the game's esm, and I don't have it handy with me right now. But I believe the Brotherhood PA is the T60 pieces with a texture skin paint. So you'd have to replace the T60 meshes and the BoS texture and that should give you the result you want.

 

This would obviously change everyone's T60 armor mesh not just the BoS ones. There is no easy way to handle only BoS without doing a lot of plugin editing/overwriting of records to change the BoS to use it's own set of meshes and then material swaps for textures.

dangit, I was hoping there was a way to just replace the power armors the agents of the brotherhood of steel use by just going through each BoS member which wears them, and select which ones they use, or at least Danse.

I'd have to re-check how to do it, but you can make danse wear non standard armor and make it never break. I don't remember if you just had to equip them with console commands, or if you had to do esp edits to flag them in some special way. Then you could have only danse wear your chosen armor and it never breaks just like his original. If you don't care about breakage and fixing it then you could just give him regular stuff and tell him to wear it.
