Tron91 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Is there a way to make an armor/cloth specifically for Females only. So that Skyrim's Engine doesn't have to decide Male model to render or the Female model to render.
Alter Native Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 You can assign different models to each sex in the CK. But without scripting there is no way to prevent a male to equip a female armor... there might not be a model assigned to the male version or just a default vanilla one. But each time an actor equips an armor the engine load the model assigned to that sex.
Tron91 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 Recently faced a strange problem due to this. I had given bikini armor to 2 followers and left them in Riften. When I fast traveled back to Riften, found their bikini's unequipped. Tried to trade the item back to them, but they were not wearing out. Through console found that the slot 52 got added to those, which happens to male armors probably. This was conflicting with the thongs slot cause of which the thong was equipped but the bikinis got unequipped. Reloading the save fixed it.
Tron91 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 What will happen if we don't define the Male model in the Armor Definition [ARMOR ADDON] section? Will game crash?

Are you sure the thing you're trying to fix has to do with male/female armors?

Female uses 32 (bikini's), 52 (thongs), male uses both 32 and 52 (schlong) by default for any body armor. This caused me the strange problem when I found that slot 52 was added to bikini by the game randomly causing the follower to unequip the bikini and just wear the thong as it had better armor rating. Reloading the save fixed it. So my guess is that the engine faulted in deciding the render model for the body armor. That's why am interested in learning if there is a way to make any armor female only, so that the engine doesn't goofs up.

I see, the 52 thong thing can be used by some mods but doesn't have to be used. Like many mods add the thong on 40 or whatever or make it a ring or circlet. You could try reducing the armor rating of the thong (maybe you're right and it's just an AI thing where they just decide to wear the better armor). Either use the CK for that or TESV Edit. If that doesn't fix it you can just try changing the thong slot to a different slot (like 40) many slot error can be fixed by just using a different slot. Be aware that you have to change the slot in the .nif, in the armor addon and in the actual armor. Also some armor's ask for multiple slots. I don't see how the male female thing and SOS plays into that whole problem tbh.
