Vilja's attire

[Sniffles]

Apologies to all who worked on it but I am avoiding using Vilja's wardrobe for a variety of reasons.

IS there or could there be a simple way of telling Vilja, maybe in the dialogue menu 'let me check your gear', to wear a specific item? IE, "Vilja, please wear this" and she wears it until you remove it from her inventory. Something really simple. Perhaps, a way to temporarily set an extremely overinflated value or rating the forces that game mechanics to tell her to use the item??

For example, we had to crawl a dungeon and we both got a serious ass whooping and barely made it out alive. Well, Vilja is revealed in the moonlight, slightly indecent and lovely and wrong wrong wrong! I check her inventory and she had put on armor one half the rating of what I had given her because it had a slightly higher base value.

Worse yet she had found a gold diamond necklace, bracers and helm of a higher base value than the enhanced enchanted items I had given her. In one swell arbitrary foop her protection was halved and her one handed attack went from saber toothed lion to small kitten.

So we were thinking, if it is possible, to have an addition to the menu when giving her items to have a 'Please wear this' over-ride.

PS Please don't go into her wardrobe. Between it's complexities and our world class game crashing abilities... Let's not go into details.


To ramble on and get ignored... Examples. We change armor or clothing constantly. What looks good in the moonlight, looks good in the morning, looks comfy in the rain, looks nice in the evening and so on. We don't go by location and circumstances. In the city wear this, in combat that and blah blah.

And then, well take Vilja right this moment. Go to a certain dungeon and get some goodies then go to a certain forge and make some non body slot apparel- armor. Then do some smithing and a little enchanting and tada... >>> Black calf high boots, dark green leggings, foresworn topless armor over a fur skirt, dark green tunic and arm bands and a matching dark green jeweled circlet. But she absolutely refuses to combine non body slot and regular.
So Vilja gets dressed. Bare boobs and skimpy skirt, the boots, wolfcry helmet and ugly bracers. 3 freaking hours getting her new look all spiffed up!


Squishy: "Hey, come look at this! Was this your plan? Dumpster diver rat woman?"

You can create up to 5 specific outfits for Vilja. Through the dialogue you can tell her to wear one and she will do so until you tell her otherwise.

All you need do is via Vilja's dialogue select "Regarding your outfit" then "Lets select your various outfits" followed by "Lets look at your outfits". Choose one of the outfits from A to E and as long as you have already given her what you will want her to wear you just allocate the items to slots in the outfit. Afterwards you can go through the first two dialogue options again to tell her to wear the outfit. You don't need to fill all of the outfits if you don't want to. You could allocate one for armour and another for clothing.

If you don't do this or alternatively create a wardrobe she will always select the best armour she finds in her inventory when entering combat or told to wear armour.

My experience when using either the outfits or the wardrobe was nakedness on fast travel and even when changing zones like within a city. I put this down to a slow computer which has trouble rendering the changes. I have since followed the practice disabling autochange and giving her only one set of armor and telling her she should wear it or not wear it. She stays in her armor unless I tell her she does not need to wear armor in which case she changes into her wedding outfit. If she is still in armor when we start to perform somewhere, she will change into her dress even if I have failed to tell her she needs no armor. If she is wearing no armor and we fast travel somewhere, she often lands wearing armor even when I have told her she does not need to. In that case I tell her to wear her armor (even though she already is, because that is the only dialogue option about that) and then tell her she does not need armor. Dressing her in a bunch of different outfits to suit every possible occasion or weather change is simply something which does not interest me and I have found my little method works just fine for my needs.

Meaning no offense to the well intended suggestions, but mix and match and what looks good and when seems to be beyond the male of the species to comprehend. And my partner. Jeans, a tank top and a heavy leather fur lined jacket does not cut it either.

Yeah, you are probably right, and I think I will just STFU:)

[Sniffles]

Baggy jeans have been and will always be the most sought after fashion statement. Walk into just about any public place and yell, 'ANYONE WANT TO GET IN MY PANTS?'.

Any ideas as to why Vilja is confused about her attire? I'm not, nor have I ever, used the Wardrobe mod..
She's sleeping in her armor, goes naked after combat, changes into her dress when we enter a store - and sometimes after a dialogue in the wilds.. the only thing I've told her to do is not wear a shield indoors. :?

[wotan]

You can tell her whether or not to use armour. This allows or disallows her to wear attire with an armour rating. If she has no clothing piece (armour rating 0) assigned to an equipment slot she will appear naked (no leg or chest pieces assigned)

[Cybersquirt]

She has her default dresses and boots.. besides, it's the least of my worries.

[Cybersquirt]

Is there a way I can tell her to just always wear her armor except when she sleeps?
On entering one of the hearthfire homes, she went naked.. she's going naked in dungeons as well, and she seems to even get confused as to her hair color - which is disturbing as I've not added any Vilja-specific mods.

ps: I will also echo Sniffles OP.

edit - btw, when I did go and try to navigate the wardrobe function she only showed the basic wolfcry armor, not the legendary armor I turned it into.. :?
