I want her to wear a circlet or some headset that doesn't hide her hair. Is there a way to do this though the console without installing a mod? I tried to remove the helmet through the console, but it only works temporarily as the hide helmet gets respawn after you leave her.

    It seems like even mods have trouble changing NPCs’ outfits permanently. But there might be a way...

Reset to default

I tried this myself and it worked for me:

  1. Open the console, click on the NPC
  2. type 'openactorcontainer 1' and put the cloth you want to equip from your inventory in there

  3. type 'showinventory', there should be a list of items the npc has. Try to find the ID of the item you want to remove, a line could look like this:

    Boots (001b1be) (100,100.00%) - Worn - Outfit

    in this case, '001b1be' is the id of the item

  4. type 'removeitem [ITEM ID] 1, in this case: removeitem 001b1be 1

  5. now search for the item id of the item you want to equip and type:

    'equipitem [ITEM ID] #', e.g.: equipitem 001b1be 1

    the 1 behind the ID means that the outfit cannot be removed

If the default outfit should be reequiped for whatever reason and its not permanently, you could create a textfile inside your skyrim installation folder and write in it:

prid [follow id]
equipitem [item id] 1

save it and type ingame: 'bat [name of the txt file]' whenever you want to overwrite the npcs default outfit. As far as i know, thats all you can do without using mods, but i hope this helps.

  • I can't remove the item, because it's not in the inventory.
