My custom follower won't equip any armor

[vault75]

Hi everyone

 

So, I'm working on a follower for Skyrim, and although there are a few bugs that need ironing out, there's one thing that I cannot figure out. I've created her an outfit which is basically prisoner rags so that pretty much everything else in the game is better - but even if I transfer Iron Armor or Steel Armor to her, she doesn't automatically equip it like the vanilla followers do (although weapons are fine, plus she will pick up better weapons if she finds them).

 

Basically what I'm wondering is, is there any Papyrus script I need to deploy for when something is transferred to her inventory which I've forgotten? Or maybe there's a setting I need to change?

 

Any help on this is appreciated as she's pretty useless in a fight without armor!
