Hide armor and show another keeping the original stats?

[WilliamC1514]

I've just installed
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28902
and I was expecting their adult armor to have limited protection so I'd have them don realistic armor. They have an alternative on them not looking like a stripper outfit, but would likely get cat-calls and snide remarks. Both of these have incredible stats and I'd rather keep them.

Is there a way to hide their armor and and show another while keeping the original stats? Perhaps they would become naked or in underwear, and I'd don them ineffectual armor pieces? Or maybe there's a way to increase the effectiveness of an armor so it would match their default ones? eg the new armor has 264 DR, 235 ER & 25 RR, so I'd run a command or don a custom-made non-armor-slot-taking item adding 236 DR, 265 ER & 475 RR, 500 fire & cold resist.

Thank you kindly

That is a companion mod you are linking to and not armor or clothing. It adds new companions. Custom companions often use existing armor mods and then often modified. Seems here be the case. Keep in mind that not all armor can match together and you end up with a disappearing body or other weird effects. And be sure you have all the requirements. It won't work with vanilla.
Next to that better use the reactionform at the mod you use over at nexusmods. This forum is not the place to solve problems related to mods. You really have to be for that on nexusmods.

I'm asking for a suggestion to another mod that would counteract what displeases me. I don't like bikini armor, an euphemism to what they're really wearing.

I was coming to edit the OP and add another alternative: some kind of bulky rain suit or loose track suit that would cover the whole body letting hands and boots through, which would not take any slot a regular outfit could take (eg ring).

you're going about this wrong... these are just variables, if you're using mods you're "cheating" already, so why go though all this? just raise your (you, sole survivor, not any particular armour) base damageresist radresist fireresist coldresist etc actor values with a console command or two, just a little, a huge amount, no one cares... it's not like you have to stop and repair bullet holes anyway, nothing degrades, things are permaperfect in 4.

What? Seeing bikini armors, or showing even more skin like this one, decrease my enjoyment of the game.

The OP mention multiple times the armor is of another character, thus an NPC.

no no no, you miss the point - as did I though, so it does happen :-)

AVs actor values, you can change them directly, you don't need to wear ANY armour to tweak these, be it an NPC or yourself; that way you can have the stats you want, and still wear what you want, be it on a companion or yourself or any rando or unique NPC. They're just variables. The game can set them, a mod can set them, and you yourself can set them... to literally anything you want, no matter how ludicrously over or under-powered.

It's a simple fix that doesn't involve ripping someone elses' mod apart, taking their values and applying it to another armor set, or replacing their diffuse and specular and transparency texture files to get rid of something you don't like, it takes just seconds.

OP = YOU! You're the original poster! stop confusing me!

I'm a little scared of console commands. Some of my saves were somewhat affected, not to the point of blocking any quest or preventing me from receiving any item, but they added a good amount of CTD.
Instead of running the command on the NPC, is there a way to rename a ring (starting with 'z' to avoid scrapping it by mistake), drop it on a desk, select it then run the commands I would have set on the NPC, so the bonus would only be granted while donning that ring? That way when I receive her companion perk I just unequip the ring, store it somewhere no NPC can reach, and be much less afraid of corruption because of that.
