One way to check this (I have not got that pickpocketing perk yet, so can't) would be to give the NPC clothes with a minimal armor rating, like robes. If you give an NPC only clothing with no armor rating, that would result in the NPC undressing every time they cross the door. If the NPC has no clothes with a rating above zero in the inventory, this would result in the NPC staying in underwear.Īnother question here indicates that NPCs may "reconsider" their clothing at certain times such as leaving or entering a house. Now, I can imagine that the algorithm for this simply undresses the NPC, then tries to maximize the armor rating. An NPC with the perk that provides a 25% bonus when wearing all light armor might forego a heavy armor part and prefer to wear no part (or an inferior light armor part) in that place, because the bonus for the other armor parts is higher than the heavy part's rating. My guess is that NPCs try to maximize their armour rating.
Is this a known bug? Is there any way around it without using the PC-only console? But if I leave them at home, I'll return to find them bare. They'll all wear their clothes immediately after being given them. I found out this is also the case with Lydia and Jordis. Later, I figured out this continues to happen even if I leave a full set of Legendary-quality Dragonscale Armor with her.Īnd, later on. So, she had no good reason not to be dressed in what had been handed to her. I checked her inventory, and found the clothes I'd given her were still there and her armor wasn't. However, when I later left and returned to the house, I found her wandering around in her undergarments! After that, I gave her some more suitable house attire (via "Follow me." -> "I need to trade.") which she gladly put on. So, after I finished leveling and perking up my pickpocketing, I stole the Steel Armor straight off her back. I couldn't seem to get her to un-equip her standard armor, and she wouldn't put on regular clothing or lesser armor while it was equipped.
I pretty much just leave her there most of the time anyway, so there's no point in her being always dressed for battle. So, I was interested in seeing if I could get Iona to wear some more common clothes around the house.
