I don't know if anybody is checking this, but I do hope so. I've a problem where, after giving new gear, the follower is always naked whenever returning to where they are (so for example lydia in breezehome)
Actually I'm having the complete opposite problem. When I installed the mod for lydia she still has on her base equipment, and her head is discolored. what mods are you using If you don't mind me asking.
I thought this was supposed to keep the new equipment, rather than have it default when the character leaves a building. Vilkas looks great in Lakeview, but is naked if he walks outside. So much for "no default." He's naked because he's reverting to his default armor, which I took from him. So much for my excitement about finally giving him some normal stuff to wear.
Tried UFO before? The Ultimate Follower Overhaul works best for me. Adds some options for mortallity and levelcap, via speech, mostly immersive. "Everyone has to die at some point.(removes essential tag)" Boasts many localizations aswell; https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14037
Ok--- I'm Looking for a Mod that will keep the Default Armor from being put back on after zoning or whatever. I thought this was it. I Manually Downloaded the 1 for Adelisa. Perhaps I did something wrong but here is what I did. Adelisa Download sent to Desktop---I went through Steam/SteamApps/Data---Opened up that Data Folder--Used 7zip to Extract Here. Took Adelisa outside of the Bathing Beauties Luxury Suite---Used the Need to Trade and Took all her Inventory---She had on Nothing then--Zoned to Whiterun Stables and she had Armor back on. Exited Game--I had a Clean Save done). Tried this again Using the Console Command--removeallitems---same result--Armor back on again--- So, lol---what did I do wrong?
It always disappoints me when I look at mods like this and don't see poor Teldryn Sero on their lists. Just because he lives in Solstheim doesn't mean he doesn't deserve any love! Sure, he's not a terribly spectacular follower, but he has more personality than a lot of them, and he's served me faithfully for several days as I started out on my Alternate Start save that plonked me down just southwest of Miraak's temple.
Thanks so much for this. I rarely see mods that gave Vorstag some love, so i'm glad when i saw his pic in the images section Love the new face you made for him. Now i can make him wear that bare-chested fur armor :p
(WARNING: I DO appreciate the work done here by Aoki, I could never do something remotely similar to this, and I DO know this worked for some people. This is only for those, like me, who couldn't solve the default outfit problem with this mod)
I FINALLY found a solution for this brainmauling issue... actually two, you may choose which one fits you.
Option 1:
For this one you'll need a mod which I think everyone who enjoys having followers should have, Amazing Followers Tweaks by Dheuster. In my opinion is by far better than most of other followers mods out there as this one allows you modify pretty much everything in a friendly way, and atleast in my experience I haven't come into any bug with it:

Ok, first of all you'll need to hire (of course) the follower you want to change. Once he/she is bound to your will talk to him/her and click on "Tweak Options". Go to gear and select "Unequip All". As you follower goes naked (Don't get kinky), for some reason I can't explain he/she WON'T gear his/her default gear but will stay that way. While still naked click on "Remember this outfit" and the select "Standard". Wait for it to load and once it's done it'll say that your follower will remain forever naked. After this, if you wish, you may dismiss him/her and go hire him/her again in order to verify if it worked. Once you succesfully edited his/her default gear, which is nothing (Again... don't get kinky), trade and remove all the supposed to be defaul gear (Example: Ancient Nord for Aela) from his/her inventory. After that give him/her the gear you want him/her to wear. Once it's on click on "Remember this outfit" and select "Standard". Done with that you'll follower will wear whatever you gave him/her forever and ever, even after you dismiss them, but if you wish you can always change their new default gear. (NOTE: I'm NOT sure if you can later put their original default gear active, but doing the same procedure with what they used to wear should work just fine)
UPDATE: Testing with this method I realized of something. After you determine their new default outfit by enabling the standard outfit you'll get a warning stating that you shouldn't change the load order of your mods if you give them a mod gear. Now, as this might be troublesome for some people like me who constantly deletes or add mods, the solutions is simple: After you determined their new default gear with the standard option, dismiss them, fast travel somewhere else and go back. Now disable their standard outfit, dismiss, fast travel and go back. If the Nine are on your side your follower will still be wearing the gear you gave him/her. I cannont explain why this happens, problaby the mod replaces their default outfit to the new one, but of what I'm sure is that with this method your saves won't get corrupted in case you move/add/delete something.
Option 2 (POSSIBLE SPOILER):
Now, if you're not the mod type or you're using another follower mod that hasn't solved this problem, this is what you should do: There's a point during the main questline where you can bring followers to Delphine to join the blades. Do this with your desired follower. After that fast travel somewhere and go back. You should see your follower with either the blades armor or with combination of their default armor and the blades armor. No worries, simply hire them, take all their outfit and give them whatever you want them to use... and that should do. In case they wear back the blades armor simply trade with them, take a piece of their gear and put it back on as their wear the gear you gave them.
I hope this helps because, as you might be, I was knocking my head on the keyboard due to this awful problem.
After discovering a conflict with another mod, I had to uninstall this. Now characters that didn't typically have a "default outfit" do. For example, a guard's helmet can never be removed, and my followers will not change into clothes I give them. Do you have any suggestions for what I can do to restore my game? Loading a previous save did not work.

Does anybody know why this happens?
