Negative Armor Rating? *Lost Cause* (dead thread)

[RedOptic]

my friend was messing around with skyrim on my pc when he was at my house a few weeks ago, he was looking at the console commands. i just reacently started playing again and noticed that i was dying instantly so i looked at my armour and my armor rating looks like this https://gyazo.com/e2785af2b1afd7a1b8a5952ee326ae37

Its like this for ALL of my armor peices even the new ones i find!

Please help! i dont want to play in god mode forever XD.

player.forceav damageresist <armor rating>

If this doesn't work- you might want to talk to your friend lol

Contemplate that the save games with that in it are borked.
Delete them after you have gone back to pprevious saves where that is not the case.
That is a lesson not to play with console.

It can also be that in overuse of console the game actually give you negative numbers because of really OP items. So go to a chest remove everything from inventory and armor slots and see if there are still magic effects on your charater.

If nothing is working, then start over, a negative armour rating isn't something you are going to fix by playing on, and console commands going wrong is usually unfixable, so either load an earlier save or start a fresh.

Oh, and don't let your friend mess around on your computer, nobody needs friends like that.

player.setav damageresist <default amount of armor you want to set>

OR

player.modav damageresist <amount of armor you want to add to your existing armor rating>

modav also works if you want to subtract the amount just type - before the number like this:

player.modav damageresist -500 (to subtract armor rating)
player.modav damageresist 500 (to add to the armor rating)

try these instead forceav if they don't work (they should) then the problem is rooted deeper than you originally thought.

Tried this prior it does work but it sets all my armor to said number wich is really annoying when you have "party clothes" that say 500 armor i would prefer to get to the root of the problem this would be a last resort fix

then set it lower till you reach the default 0 armor witohut any armor pieces
you don't have to type 500 armor type in whatever the amount to negate the negative amount.

everything works fine its just the armor is in negative and get me one shot. plus theres probably some way to fix it like a reverse command... and i let my friend screw around with the commands so dont tell me what kind of friends i need...

the thing is all of the armor is at different numbers except for the ones that default at 0 they stay at 0
(Edit: NVM there all set at -2147483648 , except for the ones that are default at 0)

Look you aren't going to fix it, start over or reload an earlier save, those are your options.

And if you let friends mess around with your game, this will keep happening, the key here is that when you mess around with your own game, you limit yourself subconsciously, not doing anything too stupid. When you mess around with someone elses game, your don't have the same subconscious limiting factors in play, meaning you can really screw it up. So don't let them play around with console commands on your game, let them try stupid stuff out on their version, I'm betting they won't do it.

Skyrim doesn't work like that there are many things and commands that can pernamently break your save and your only option is to start over or load save before the incident.
