Marine Wetsuit

[myshiatsu]

The console gives me a refid for the marine wetsuit, when told to. Yet, the console says it's an invalid item number when I try to obtain a second one. What gives?

You may need the Base ID, which is something else. Don't quote me on that though... I know it's needed for NPCs, because their refID is different from their BaseID and commands don't work on the refID. I usually google for the NPC BaseID I'm trying to effect.

If you're clicking on an existing wetsuit, you'll get the reference ID (as Cakefiend was suggesting). That reference ID is for that specific copy of a wetsuit, and will never be used for more than one item in the game world at a time. You can't make a second one of that, because it's the ID for that wetsuit you can already see right there, in that exact place.

The base ID is what you want, because it's the basic data in the game files that is used to make each new copy of an item (base IDs aren't directly used in the game world, they just serve as the source for making reference copies). You can find base IDs by either finding an online listing, or using the console's help function to search for the item's name.
