LE Help with adding to leveled lists

[tehx3n]

This isn't going to be terribly in depth, but I've been having a problem with leveled lists.

 

My mod adds some custom Armour sets to various leveled lists, but they don't seem to show up on anyone they're added to. I put a large group of the same npc (all with the items in their leveled lists) in a test cell, but the ones that would have had them show up naked. If i try making a new list with only the items in question in, and setting it as their only list they all show up naked. however it randomly seems to work, I don't know why, and if I try making a new esp file in exactly the same way they show up naked again.

Is there some amount of time that needs to pass before items in leveled lists start working properly or something?

Levelled lists are determined by chance and level as you know so they will not always spawn on an NPC unless they ONLY have your set in their inventory. Keep in mind if you are testing with a lv.1 character then you will rarely see your additions. Try spending some time travelling to other areas with the relative NPCs while setting your char at various levels, and it may be worth trying the waiting indoors trick if nothing shows up at all.

Thanks for the help, I've already tried setting it as their only item, going to different places at various levels is worth a try. Could you explain what this "wait indoors trick" is though?

Well not that I had to use it but I hear a lot of waiting indoors for 3 days for a mod to become active but if you have seen your results in some form in-game then you should be fine.

 

If your gear isn't showing all the time but is the only item in the inventory you might need to check that the "chance of 0" is set to 0, putting a variable in this box determines the chance of the item(s) appearing so adding 50 will give a 50% chance of the gear appearing and 75 would give a 25%.
