all hold guards suddenly naked!

[SapphicSoul2]

they have boots and weapons but nothing else.  the only mod I have installed and uninstalled recently is all female housecarls for hearthfire.

 

any ideas?

 

 

 

 

 

update. i have verified the game cache and checked my load order. everything is normal apart from the guards only having helmets shields and sword/axes

 

 

if it means anything, I noticed Aela without armor too.

 

I'm flummoxed.

You basically uninstalled a mod that added modded armor too all those NPC's and it really is as simple as that.

 

All the item data is stored in your save file and since the save file is looking for Chest items that no longer are present in the Load Order well that means they are now naked.

No the removal of mods that add mod armor from game do not "reset NPC inventories" and its been that way for Bethsada Games ever since modding was a thing.

I agree with Gameplayer, but:

 

the only mod I have installed and uninstalled recently is all female housecarls for hearthfire.

 

That doesn't compute. Can you give a link to that mod to see what specifically it changes? From the title i would assume it only changes, well, housecarls, but the formlists of the outfits of guards and of Aela have absolutely nothing in common with the playerhousecarloutfit-formlist.

If you pinkyswear that you didn't change or touch anything else, something is off. Or that mod changes way more things than it should.

I am in the process of disabling all  my clothing/armor mods one by one to see which one it is that is causing the problem.  I noticed this morning that it wasn't just Aela that was without her Ancient Nord armor, Ria was without her Hide/scaled  armor too.

well that didn't change anything. so It's I'm going for a complete reinstall. that will defo sort it.

The problem is that even disabling the mods only affects the inventory of the BaseID of the actors. As soon as you entered a cell the systems spawned a unique RefID of the actor however and assigned the inventory. Just removing the mod won't suddenly fix that. Respawning Actors like your common Guard should theoretically refresh within 3 gamedays but not Unique characters like the followers.

 

I'm still puzzled how that could possibly happen though if that Housecarl-mod was really the only culprit,unless that mod for some reason messes around with all kinds of formlists.

after a complete reinstall of the game and all my mods. I ran fnis one last time for luck and then Loot. I cleaned the update, dawnguard, heathfire, dragonborn esms with TES5edit following Sacramas's instructions. I cleaned the mods that Loot pointed at too. brows, eyes of beauty. sorted my load order with Loot. manually then placed Amorous Adventures last instead of halfway where Loot puts it. started a new game. everything fine. all mods working.  until my new character and Ralof are walking down the hill from the stones. ctd . I try again. this time the ctd happens when my character and Ralof are about to fight the wolves on the way to Riverwood. 

 

I used the steam " verify game file cache " out of habit.   5 files were missing. ? ? ?    that's on a new install.  loaded my save game and  as my character and Ralof reached the point where the wolves attack.    ctd again.     I really don't know what to do any more. 

I have the latest versions of SKSE FNIS SKYUI Racemenu and Bodyslide installed.  

 

my load order.
