Force Npc To Wear Custom Armor

[boppo]

I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to force an NPC to use custom armor from a mod using the Creation Kit.  I know where to set the armor, but the armor I want them to use is not listed.

You should be able to do that in game with the console. Just open the console, target them (click on them), then type "equipitem 'item ID' 1" and they'll have it and have it equipped.

 

Not sure about doing it in the CK, though.

If you want to make someone use a custom armor using the CK do the following in the CK:

 

In the Object Window, go to Items then Outfits

Right Click in the area on the right and create a new outfit list.

Open your new outfit list and add the armor pieces you want the NPC to use (drag and drop)

Close the new outfit list

Open the NPC and go to the Inventory Tab

In the Outfit dropdown near the top, select your outfit.
