Serana not putting on Dragonbone Ebonsteel Armor

[SleepinGriffin]

I already have UFO and Seranaholic installed for my game as a heads up.

I made the Dragonbone Ebonsteel armor for Serana and my other Followers and the only one not to put on the armor is Serana, but she will put on the boots and gauntlets. in the first place I just gave her the armor and she didn't put it on, so I took it from her, saved my game, and used the console commands "removeallitems" on her, which took all of her clothes and then I gave her the armor. As I gave the armor back her normal clothes came back and she wasn't wearing the armor again, she was wearing the guantlets and the boots again as well.

Is there a mod that just makes it so that I can force followers to put on the armor I give them?

lvl up you pickpocket then get a armor with high lvl like elven echanted then give it to her then part ways then pick her clothing not shoes or she go to default then ask her to rejoin you then give her the ebony or any outher armor or clothing you have then take away the ones you not want her to have boom changing clothing on npcs enjoy

If you open the console ... while looking at Serana. Then click on her face so that her ID appears on screen. Type in showinventory ... will bring up a list that you can scroll thru with the page up and page down buttons.

The armor you have given her should be among the list with the armor/ clothes she is currently wearing. The clothes / items she is wearing will have 'worn' listed at the end of the line.
So you can see the ID of the clothes she is wearing.

You can use unequipitem ( clothes ID) 1 ... there will be a message for the success of that ... and at times you will need to do that twice.

Then the armor you want her to wear
(again all while in the console with her ID shown on screen.)

type equipitem (ID code you can see in her showinventory list) 1

If you want to be thorough and don't want her to revert to her standard gear
You can removeitem (ID code from her list) 1 ... do that twice or until it says she has none of them.

Just as a friendly warning ... using the console to change stuff in skyrim ... can start all sorts of issues.
It can cause areas to take a long time to load ... as all the changes you make take effect. Or at worst you may get crashing when ever you approach a area.

So make Named hard saves that you can go back to .... before any tinkering.
Named hard saves can be done in console "save ThisIsWhereIStartedToRuinSkyrim"

Another suggestion when you make a hard save through the save menu .... delete your quicksave. So that your quicksave doesn't have remnants from all over skyrim.

I just forced Serana's Heavy Armor skill higher than her light armor skill. I though the set of Dragonbone Ebonsteel armor that I gave her was light armor because it is modeled after the Dragonscale Armor, but that's not the case an I just gave her like 95 heavy armor. She put the armor on right away.
