A tutorial in how to switch armor slots with FO4Edit. 

If you have any questions, I'll try to answer. Just know, I am not expert, I am learning like everyone else. 


Typed intructions -- for those who prefer it. ^^

Download FO4Edit

Run the FO4Edit.exe. A window will pop up with all your mods/plugins from your load order.

1st step: Select the mod plugin(s) that you want to edit: in this case, Survivalist Go-Bags.
Wait a few seconds for the program to run the plugin(s). Once it is completed, it will stop and say finished at the bottom.

2nd step: On the left side (Form ID) section, select the mod plugin, Survivalist Go-Bags.esp,
Once it is expanded, select Armor Addon, which will now display all the backpacks.
Select the Backpack you want to switch the slot #.  

3rd step: On the right side, on the top it will say Survivalist Go-Bags.esp (or Survivalist Go-Bags_AE_AWKCR.esp).
On the Record Header column, search down until you find BOD2-Biped Body Template/First person flags.It will display slot #58; Right click the numbers on the right and select edit. Click yes to the warning.A window will pop out showing you slot numbers, select the one you want switch to (54 un-named).
You can do this for one or for all the backpacks individually in Armor Addon now.

Almost done!

4th step: On the left side (Form ID), minimize "Armor Addon" and 
select "Armor"that is below it.
Do the same as above, BOD2/FirstPersonFlags, change the slot #58 to the same slot# choosen above. In your case, 54.
You can do this for one, and if you edited all, do it for all backpacks.

Done!

Due note, the slot# needs to be the same for each corresponding backpack. For example,
If I used slot #55 for BackPackBRNMachete in Armor Addon section, I must use the same slot #55 for ArmyGoBRNMachete in Armor section.

These are the same backpacks, so they need the same slot #, or else, they won't appear in-game.

Hope I helped. :]

For those who'd seen it, I re-uploaded cause I made a few changes to try to make it look cleaner.

    This used to work and still does but for some reason I still have some items become invisible despite having same slots selected, and mostly after Vortex asking to keep newer file. Can be a pain at times.

    Hi,

    Is there a way to batch or automatize this process? any other way than one at the time?
