Is there a sure way to get "new" armor and weapons to correctly "appear" and show on Aela The Huntress properly in the PC version of Skyrim???, please help.

You just give her better armor than what she's wearing, also if you part ways with her for awhile, she'll equip her old armor (which you can't remove) All you have to do to get the armor you had on her before back on, is just go into her inventory and select equip and she'll equip all of the old stuff you had on her before she left.

Also, if you have any idea how to do this, please let me know...

If you go here: http:// www.uesp. net/wiki/S kyrim:Followers

It tells you everything you need to know about followers. Delete the extra spaces I put in the URL. I put them there because I didn't know if we can put links in our posts.

Some interesting things there about the type weapons/armor they use/wear, etc. Even a Google spreadsheet with info.

Good luck.

just about any other armor you give her will be better.

Try enchanted things.

That doesn't really work, since they the follower scripting is pretty illogical in it's selections. IT will always take class over enchantments first. IE An enchanted uber Iron sword of mass destruction will be ignored if she as a normal steel sword. Also thansk to bugged default weaponry spawning good luck trying to get them to use something other then there default hunting bow....

One thing I've found that works pretty well is using equipitem along with the nounequip flag. If you know the base ID of the piece of clothing you want them to equip, enter the console, click Aela, then type:

additem d191f 1
equipitem d191f 1

or

equipitem "192ef" 1 (if the base ID starts with a number rather than a letter, put the ID in quotes as shown)

replacing "d191f" with the base ID for whatever item you want them to equip. The "1" at the end is the nounequip flag, which makes it so that they won't just automatically equip something better as soon as it enters their inventory. If the item you want them to wear is already in their inventory, but you don't know its base ID, select them in the console, then type:

showinventory

Hit pageup until you see the item you want them to wear, its base ID will be next to it.

This has been working pretty well for me, trying to get Aranea to always equip the Mage's Circlet.
