How make an NPC with armour from another mod

[DarkLord2832]

I wish to create an Npc (with the creation kit) which will use an armour from someone else mod (not for upload, just personal use) but i have no idea how to do so, any help would be appreciated

The quick and dirty version.

 

Open the editor. Load the plugins for the base game, and whatever armour mod you want. Open the actor list, pick the first character on there, and double click. This will open their Character Editor. Change the characters Base ID, and click save. You'll get a prompt saying the ID has changed, and asking if you want to create a new save or overwrite the old. Create a new one.

 

Then, find your new character in the Actor lost, based on the ID you entered, and open up their charactr screen. You can change their look, name, AI scripts and inventory from there. To add items to their inventory, simply find the items in the Item Lists, and click and drag them to the inventory tab on the character editor.

 

You can create base characters from scratch by right clicking Actors and selecting New, but for inexperienced modders its often easier to duplicate existing NPCs and change the duplicate, so you don't have to play with AI settings.
