How can i dress people ??

[LordHeken]

I'm totally noob with modding and comands !!

 

Yesterday i learned how to undress my wife with the comand removeallitems...My first comand !! but now i want to dress her too and if it possible with a new clothes... I can download some clothes mods, but can i dress other people ??

 

Sorry for my english !! :unsure:

You can undress any NPC, but if you cycle the cell, the NPC will revert back to the default outfit when the cell loads again. There are ways to mod the actual NPC record in an esp, but it breaks the localized name of said NPC. Once the toolset is out, this should not be an issue and make changing default clothing pretty simple to do.

Well, then your reply i realize that i needed to learn first other things...Now i know what is a cell, or how to remove items and equip new items on the NPC , the problem as you says is the reset of the items when we leave the cell...Ok... when you talk about a toolset you are talking about a especically tool for dress and undress NPC's without the name problem ??

 

Thanks a lot !!

 

By the way...What is an esp ??

Toolset as in the "Creation Kit" dev tools we are waiting on Bethesda to publish (next month). An "esp" is a mod plugin file used to change or add things in the game at the data level.

Firstly I am very new to modding games so please bear with me if something I say is slightly wrong or vague, but please do correct me and ask questions re my reply :-)

 

I have just done this by editing a mod I downloaded; I don't know how to create an esp from scratch yet, but here is what I did (beware though it is not as easy as just click click go!):

 

I downloaded the 'Housecarls more feminine stance' mod http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3788

Install FOMM for skyrim (google this as there is some changes to make for getting it to run with skyrim, which I'm not going to get into here, but google will help with this)

Make sure skyrim isnt running

Open FOMM

Select Tools -> TESsnip (opens in a new window)

Select File -> Open and open the mod to use as a base (It may be a good idea for you to download the mod above as I did to use as a base)

 

Drilling down into an NPC in FOMM, find the DOFT record and double click it to open it. You will see the FormID field populated with a hex code. This represents the outfit FormID in Skyrim.esm.

 

Now:

Open Skyrim.esm in TESsnip (in the same window as your mod is already opened in. It does take some time to open (at least for me) so leave it a few seconds.

Drill down and find GRUP (OTFT). this is the group for all the outfits. Drill down to the outfit you want the NPC to wear, say 'CourtWizardOutfit'. Double click that to open it and you will see the FormID at the top. Copy this ID.

Goto the Mod you first opened (in my case the mod above) and find the DOFT record for the NPC you want to change, double click to open it (which you should have seen from earlier) and paste the FormID. Then click to button to the left of the FormID field and you should see the hex code change in the top of the window.

Click Save.

Highlight your mod and then click File -> Save.

Making sure the saved mod is in the correct location (Skyrim\Data) run Skyrim and the NPC should be wearing the outfit that you changed the FormID to.

 

To add a new NPC to the mod:

As above open Skyrim.esm and your mod in TESsnip. Locate GRUP (NPC_) and an NPC you with to make changes to. For instance, I chose Muiri as I married her (NPC_ (Muiri)). With the record highlighted select Edit -> Copy.

In your mod highlight GRUP (NPC_) and select Edit -> Paste and you will see the record appear in your mod.

As above drill down to the DOFT record and change the FormID.

Now (for some reason I am unaware of) you have to edit their name otherwise the NPC may appear with random characters for their name.

Under your NPC drill down to find the FULL record (as in full name, I assume) and open it.

In the top right of the top part of the window edit the random characters to their proper name.

Highlight your mod and save it.

Run up Skyrim and the NPC you have added and edited should be wearing the outfit you have chosen for them, permanently (except for a follower which should change back into their armor when on a quest etc)

 

I hope this helps. As I have said, I'm very new too all of this and this is just what I have found out from messing about with TESsnip. If vague or incorrect, or even a better way of doing things, then please do mention :-)

With only console commands:

 

**you will have to exit the console after each one of these steps**

and make sure you are highlighting the character you want to do this to, sometimes this is tricky

 

1/ removeallitems

2/ additem <ID of clothes you want her to wear>

3/ equip item <same id you just used>

4/ removeallitems

Does this make the change permanent, or temp until the cell reloads?

Thats really wierd, but i am doing the EXACT same thing you are doing and Muiri (even the same npc) stays naked all the time. Tried different clothing and still same issue... i guess she really loves staying with underwear lol.

 

UPDATE: Heh found the problem... the FormIDs i was getting were not from OTFT.. not even the basic items like "fine clothes" are OTFT, they are all ARMO.

So, after a long time of "tryhard" I finally got it and Muiri, my Wife, weres the Barmaid-Otfit like Hroki. Thats Great, thanks for the explanation :)

 

Is there any way to dress her with single parts, so i could give her a nice circlet or necklace? Or is only the changing of the whole Outfit possible? I dressed her up with the console with the nocturnal outfit (Hatless version, thats 00088952 ARMOR) and some nice shoes and jewelry, but i cant find a guide to do it permanently like ive done it with yours and the ARMOR FORMAL_ID doesnt work with the DOFT. The Nocturnal FORMAL_ID in the OTFT Section is with Hat and without shoes, so it doesnt fit her so well ;)

Can anyone help me?

 

Kind regards,

JS.

 

PS: English isnt my Mothertounge, so its perhaps a little confusing, but i hope u get the point ;)
