Removing starting armour on followers?

[Ramirofam]

I know this must have been on forums a lot, but when i search it up i cant find anything. So i was wondering if there was a way to remove your followers starting armour without it just respawning when you enter a new map. I want to make my follower use a different armour, but their armour rating is so high, so i cant. Someone please answer, and thaks in advance

I've been looking for a fix for this as well and so far I haven't found a solution except for the NPC Editor which I didn't want to have to use. It's also annoying because it means that you can't give your Stewards and Housecarls better armor (well you can but they'll unequip it as soon as you dismiss them and leave.

Play the PC version?

 

Get the UFO mod. Just pick it up on the Nexus and it has the option to tell your follower you don't like what they are wearing. So when you give them new stuff their starting equipment becomes available for you to take from them. It also comes with other neat goodies such as having multiple followers, being able to teach them spells, and they can ride horses.

UFO or AFT (Amazing Follower Tweak) or simply "NPC outfit changer" would do the trick

Ok, yes I play the pc thank you a lot, those sound like neat mods

I have UFO installed (since a long time..)

 

Blades Armor ..

 

 

after Marcurio was recruited by the blades, not possible to delete the Blades armour.

 

I tried lot of things ..

 

It’s not possible with the consol command “inv” to delete Blades armour.

You can delete four things but I you try to delete all the set, the entire armour reapers !!

 

If after deleting some Blades armour pieces, you try to see your follower in underwear by taking off her armour and clothes (that you gave him) in his inventory, it result that your follower is wearing with Blades armour, including helmet !!!!

 

If you ask to your follower “what have you got for seal” you can see in his inventory the entire set of Blades.

If you buy all the set, close the discuss, reopen and ask again.. the full set is one more time in your follower inventory.. etc etc .

 

Another disadvantage with the Blades armour set : Its weight is very important ! It prevent the player to give some things to the follower, because the weight content to the inventory is limited.

 

Console command “removeallitems”, It does remove all the items, but .. once console close : Blades armour set reapers again !

 

 

Possible to correct with the CK ? >>>> Tried, result = negative !

 

I found this on Tesnexus forum :

"When you sacrifice the follower to the Blades, that becomes his default armor (like the mage armour (for Marcurio) when you first meet him).

Followers are scripted to have their default armor at all times to keep them from being naked, which is why we have the 'decreased carrying capacity' bug (every time you dismiss your follower, the game adds a new set of default invisible armor and weapons just to make sure they never go naked - and this adds up over time).

 

There are settings for the NPC's clothing called "Outfit" and "SleepingOutfit"; the outfit is usually called something like "CWGeneralTulliusCoatNoHelmet" and most NPCs have the "default" sleeping outfit, which I assume means that they sleep in their normal outfit.

 

Outfits respawn in the inventory if every piece is removed, and can, apparently, be changed in-game, as Brynjolf, Karliah, Delphine, Esbern, Astrid, and any followers recruited into the Blades all change equipment. You'll know what pieces are part of the outfit if you click on them in the console and type "inv"; this will list everything in their inventory."

 

I know how to change a default outfit in CK AND it doesn't work !

In the CK Blades armour don’t appears

 

 

Another way I tried :

 

Create a .txt file (let's call it EQ.txt) and put in the following commands:

prid <follower's ID>

equipitem <item1 ID> (blades armor)

equipitem <item2 ID>

equipitem <item3 ID>

equipitem <item4 ID>

Then save it.

When playing, you open the console then type "bat EQ", and it will execute all the commands.

 

Some people suggest that ‘s possible with the mode UFO, I have the mod installed and NO it’s not possible.

 

 

Another way I tried

 

Removing Followers from the Blades

Is it possible to use PC console command codes to permanently remove followers from the Blades faction that you had brought to Delphine, thus returning them to their normal locations and equipment?

 

Even with the faction code I learnt via help command didn't help.

I tried both "removefac

" and "addfac [code] -1" methods. 

 

Removefac “faction ID”

 

The 2 Blades factions are:

BladesFaction: 72834

BladesRecruitsFaction: e652d

 

 

And.. I tried with NPC EDITOR It doesn’t work.

 

 

 

Conclusion.. for now I haven’t find a way to resolve the problem with this Blades armour for Marcurio , and Marcurio has never slept in his default "SleepingOutfit" and never wears his normal outfit when he is relaxed...

 

If someone has a solution, thank you in advance

 

(and sorry if I take mistakes, English isn’t my native language..)

 

 

Last possible solution, I haven't use :

Kill :( and ressurect Marcurio
