Curie going to default in Battle.

[Serpoman]

This is the first time this has ever happened with any companion in this play through. I gave her a Red Dress with Ballistic weave and a Battered fedora with weave and as soon as a fight starts she goes to default with her clothing, but uses a custom shotgun I gave her. So I gave her a custom lazer to try another weapon and as soon as battle broke out she converts to default clothing and switches back to the shot gun. Now it seems she starts to act like an assault tron and other times like a sentry bot doing the choo choo train sound. Was there some kind of charactor update recently? Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks

What mods are you using?

[Serpoman]

Sim Settlements, HUD Framework, Lower Guns, True Storms. I have used these for the last 2 playthroughs and Curie was fine. The only mod that has been updated recently is Sims Settlements and I do not see how this mod could possibly cause what is happening.

[Ghadaro]

I haven't used any of those mods so I'm not wure whether any of them can affect companions.

If you haven't done already I would take Curies original outfit away from her after equipping her with what you want her to wear.
If she strips off as you enter battle she is definitely re-equipping. If she reverts to her default clothing in battle it may just be a visual glitch

[Serpoman]

When I put the dress on her no other clothing appears, I tried that. Some kind of bug I guess!

[Ghadaro]

Try equipping her with a full set of armour pieces see whether that drops her outfit to the inventory, if that doesn't work telling her to enter power armour might. (the power armour doesn't need a fusion cell)

[Serpoman]

I equipped her with armor and a Harness and no default clothing appeared and once battle starts or I teleport to a new location she goes back to default in clothing, not weapons. I wonder if there is a way to reset a companion?

Hmm thats an interesting one. Maybe if you send her to a settlement and change her equipment using the trade with settler command that might fix it.

Console wise you could open the console, select curie then use disable followed by enable.

That's because clothing and underarmor normally occupy body slot 33. The dress you're giving her is assigned a DIFFERENT slot. Curie is STILL wearing whatever is assigned to slot 33 but you don't see it because the dress is covering (overwriting) it up. That's why when you tell her to equip the dress, her default outfit never appears in her inventory - she's STILL wearing it. The only way you'll see her outfit in her inventory is to give her an outfit that ALSO occupies slot 33.

"The only way you'll see her outfit in her inventory is to give her an outfit that ALSO occupies slot 33."

What clothing would that be?

There's a glitch that I ran acorss in the vanilla game where a companion instructed to activate one of several trap types (such as grenade bouquets and flamethrower traps) will revert to their original clothing, even if they don't actually have that clothing (with some companions it can allow you to obtain additional copies of their original clothing).

I don't know if it's related to this case, but if it's causing the same effect somehow, it won't matter whether or not she has her original outfit.

Just some examples:

Underarmor and clothing outfits (harnesses, vaultsuits, dresses, farmhand outfit, scavenger outfit, bomber jacket outfit, baseball uniform, BoS uniform, etc etc etc)

FULL armor outfits (cage armor, spike armor, etc)
