Yeah. The title explains that I have a bit of an unusual siutation. Been playing my most recent game for a couple of weeks now but only just got to Sadrith Mora to find that the Telvanni Guards dont seem to like their armour anymore. They srtill have it on them, they just wont wear it!

I thought I could fix this fairly easily. I loaded up the CS and activated only the Morrowind master file. I checked the Telvanni Guard entry. They were wearing their armour as normal. I did notice that there medium armour skill was exceptionally low, lower than their unarmored skill. So I changed that and loaded up the game again. Problem is whenever the save is finished loading it crashes everytime without fail now.

So I went back to the CS and this time loaded up every mod that im using (far too many to list) and took a look at the Telvanni Guard again. They had the exsact same stats as they did with only Morrowind loaded, only this time they were NOT wearing their armour despite the fact it was in their inventory.So I tried to make the same changes that I did last time and when I loaded up the save file, the game still ran but they were still not wearing their armour!

Ive been able to solve most problems like these by creating simple plugins to change stats and inventories etc, but this one seems to have me stumped. I am aware that it has to be one of the mods that I am using that has changed something but I dont want to screw up my game by deactivating them all and having to go through them all again one by one (ive maxed out the mod limit btw!) Has anyone else experienced the same problem and knows which mod it is that causes it? Or can anyone tell me how to correctly fix the problem?

Cheers in advance!

Most of the time its because max armor rating of unarmored is increased via GMSTs "fUnarmoredBase1" and "fUnarmoredBase2".

Use http://www.wingrep.com/index.htm or similar to find which mod changes those GMSTs.

What happens is unlike heavy or medium or light armor rating, for unarmored, armor rating increases exponentionally. So small change in GMST has huge effect. Your guards don't wear any armor because their armor rating is more while not wearing any armor, i.e their unarmored rating is high.

Also once NPC data stored in save file, no mod can change those. You have to delete the record of those NPC in save file using Enchanted Editor to see the change.

Just the Telvanni guards? Are you running BTB Settings, by any chance? Naked Telvanni guards are a well-known side effect of using that mod, as it affects the Unarmored GMSTs. I think most of the guards had their Medium Armor skill upped in that mod to prevent nudists, though, so it might be another mod as well. I'm still tracking down nudists in my load order.

In case you ever need to post your mods, you can find a list of loaded ones in your .ini, copy/paste from your save's load order in Wrye Mash, or copy/paste from Mlox.

Thanks guys! I managed to solve the problem using the Enchanted Editor hollaajith said. Deleted all the references in the save file and then added the guards back in myself and things have gone back to normal.
