As the title suggests, is it possible to add more equipment slots? for inductance earring slot, bracelet slot, clock slot, wig slot, Ect or dose that require changing the game programing?

 

PS. sorry for the misspellings.

The amount of biped slots is hard coded I believe. So near impossible, would probably take a huge rewrite of the core engine.

It is hard-coded. As a modder, you cannot add more slots. You would have to be a computer programmer and build your own video game.

 

You could however use slots for strange purposes. Like a beard mod might place beards in the tail slot, but have the object show up on the face rather than at the base of the spine. A ring slot could be used for a bracelet that shows up on the wrist instead of the finger.

For personal usage, you can also combine objects at the nif level. For example, combining boots, lower armor and upper armor into a single piece, which you could then assign to use the upper armor slot only, leaving you with two slots in which to stuff other items.

Most anything should be able to use any slot, provided it's properly weighted to at least one bone.

 

For arbitrary items, you could write a script utilizing nifSE to whip up a temporary ("temporary" in the sense that it's there until deleted and can't be written to disk without a special version of the plugin) nif comprised of all the pieces of the player's current outfit, then assign THAT to a single slot. It'd take a lot more doing, though, and it stores the modified nif in your savegame (an issue if you already have a bloated save).

or make the items slotless so they can be eqquiped in ad nauseam amount, I believe there are already mods wich do so for rings and amulets.

 

Edit: the problem, of course, is they are invisible on the character but normally enchantable and having the effects applied when "equipped".
