Serana won't keep clothes on inside Hearthfire homes

[emitfudd]

I am using AFT. If I use "dismiss but hang out here" inside a hearthfire home she will always be undressed. Anywhere outside and she keeps her default vampire outfit on.

She aint bad for the undead... from me....

Check around AFT features for Housing Clothes or Outfit. It may be an option but you haven't assigned any. Not too familiar with AFT. Never used it in Skyrim and only used it a little in Fallout 4 (Not sure how many Features they share).

I didn't assign her different outfits for standard, city and home so that is probably the issue. The problem is I don't think I have that option with her unlike all my other followers. I'll look again.

I just remembered. I BELIEVE she can't be added to Framework Mods like other Followers. It might mess her up. I think after Dawnguard quests are done it might be safe, but I am far from a Serena Expert and definately not proficient with AFT.

Yes, Ihateeverybody is correct in this. Until the player has completed all quests related to Serana, using a follower framework on her runs the risks of breaking her AI and any quests that she is required for. Once all related quests are done, however, it should be safe to use a follower framework on her - should be, but can't really say for sure.

Yeah, Serana can't be used with AFT (or not recommended)
Many Serana mod authors have said the same thing.

But anyway, I hope that in Skyrm you could give your followers a new home on vanilla.
Bloodchill Manor(CC content) would be a good place for Serana to live andnot some Fort Dawnguard.

I didn't add her to AFT until all the Dawnguard quests were complete. She is working fine with AFT except this issue. There is the same option as with other followers to assign her different outfits for standard, city and home but after activating the home outfit option she won't equip it. I am also using a mod that adds a pool to Heljarchen Hall so I will just keep her outside by the pool and then it doesn't look out of place for her to be in her skivvies since everybody else is anyways. She will just complain about the sun. LOL.

If you still want to use AFT features on her then I recommend place AFT bottom of load order as much as you can.

But note this, this can interfere with other mods as well, this is why I have AFT placed as high as possible, because I only wanted Essential for followers and this is why I don't use AFT features on Serana because it's already Essential by default.

For example, serana mods don't like it if AFT overrides them.
1.AFT
2. Some Serana mod

Result: some AFT features do not work(well) on Serana

1. Serana Mod/other mods which effect to her
2.AFT

Result: AFT work(maybe) also on Serana but cause black face issue etc etc etc.


You probably already know this, but if you don't, I recommend you try it:
