Who can be dressed up?

[boeriemore]

My companion can be dressed according to my wishes by placing a particular piece of clothing in their inventory and then equipping it. In my settlement at Sanctuary e.g. traders, there is no such option. Options to trade or barter but no equip. At one time I had Preston Garvey's right hand man, can't remember his name, walking around in a dress. Can someone please clarify who meets that criteria. I want to see my trader store merchants dressed smartly in my five star establishment. lol.

I've been able to dress the Settlers in all my settlements however I want. I.e. those assigned to Guard Duty in armour, those assigned to farming in farmer gear and those running stores a little more smartly dressed. You'd need to dress shop keepers either before you assign them or when they're off duty though, else you'll get the Barter dialogue instead.

Scoob.

Wow I had no idea. But you can trade items with them. The only one that you can't change outfits on is Nick.

You can catch them after store hours
You can temp assign them to non-shop task
You can open the console and click on them and type "openactorcontainer 1"

any one of the above will work

Really? You mean giving him an item of clothing and pressing "t" to equip it doesn't work?

Hm, I've been able to dress up my traders while they're working. I like to give them all clean suits and dresses.

Wish we could do more with Dogmeat, though. Hats, sunglasses (instead of just welding goggles), and doggie shirts, maybe. Some deely-bobbers, perhaps.

Can Provisioners not be dressed up?

Equip option is available if trade dialogue option is available and you are able to look at the personal inventory of an NPC, but be aware that, if a settler is currently working as store keeper, their trade menu will only let you trade based on value, just like other traders. These settlers will only be available to switch equipment once they close their stores.

For any other case, simply talk to the NPC, and they will open their inventory for you to modify what they are currently equipping.

I am putting dresses on all females, irrespective of their duties and suits on all the men. The people manning the trade stores, when not on duty are nowhere to be found. Currently they are dressed the scruffiest.
Mamma Murphy looks smart in her long dress.
I would like to find a merchant who sells quality formal clothes.

That's only true for clinics. Any other storekeeper will have both "trade" and "barter" dialogues, and the trade one is the usual equipment-swapping.

Clinics are an exception because they have two store-related options -- "barter" and "cure me" dialogues, so you do need to catch 'em when they're not working.

I've never had a problem with changing clothes on a trader who was still working at his store. If a script is running, yeah, you have to wait for it to finish to be able to do anything with that NPC, but otherwise, I have changed their clothes and equipped them with better weapons while they were at work.

And yeah, doctors are a special case.

They're treated like any other settler, so yes, assuming that the provisioner is human or ghoul and not, say, a Mr. Handy.

Giving them mining helmets is a fairly common thing so they stand out more at night.

I have provided the settlers with suits and dresses but need more formal wear.
Where can I find or purchase them?
