[LE] Making Pre-Dressed Mannequins

[Kagedomo]

I'm trying to make a couple of pre-dressed mannequins for a dungeon. I have made a couple copies of mannequin objects then edited them to change their default outfit. When I place them in the render window they are wearing their outfit, but when I go in-game they aren't.

 

For troubleshooting purposes I followed the instructions in the link below on a couple of them to see if anything would change. I could access their inventory and add armor but they still wouldn't spawn with the outfits I had chosen on.

I also tried doing it with the object DLC2dunBookDungeon03Mannequin01, which comes pre dressed in Imperial garb, but there was no difference.

 

All mannequins have the mannequin activator script attached to them- could that be what is removing their armor? Anyone know a work around?

 

By the way, it is unimportant to me whether or not you will be able to take off the armor. I just want them to be wearing it for decoration.

 

Thanks!

I believe there's a means do to so by placing the items in the world and linking them to the mannequin. The mannequins in the Dawnguard HQ do this.

1. Add your mannequin setup correctly as normal.

 

2. Place the items you want it to wear on the floor near the mannequin.

 

3. Add the script - DefaultAddToLinkonLoadSCRIPT - to each item

 

4. Link each item to the Mannequin.

 

5. If you don't want the player to be able to remove the items; make a copy of them and mark the copies as non-playable and use those.

Excellent solution very simple to follow as well. I went ahead and did this as well. Used the "Force" as opposed to "should" in properties.
