At least I'm pretty sure its Frans that removes the bandits and marauders leveled equipment. Because I use HGEC and Roberts male, its like a rash of suicidal nudists attacking from the bushes.

I just want to put some clothes on them, but if I could just disable whatever frans is doing to subvert their leveled gear, I would do that, too.

Is there a 1 I can change to a 0 somewhere, or do I have to create a patch in the editor? I've never used to editor before; it is possible to return the bandits to normal without interfering with the rest of frans' mod? Or just stick some sack cloth dud into their list of spawning items with a 100% chance to spawn selected?

Why should Frans do such a thing? It is not a nudist mod (not even a bandit nudist mod). If you see naked bandits there must be something wrong with your install or load order.

Yeah, I looked up teh bandits in the editor and their spawning equipment includes lower body clothing and no upper body clothing; that's what I've been seeing. It also includes a full set of armor that isn't appearing at all.

I looked up the bandits inventory in the editor, and it seems you're right; they are supposed to me getting a full set of armor along with their lower body clothing. I just wanted to add some upper body clothing, but now I'm concerned with fixing this issue. Any idea why the bandits aren't getting their frans equipment. (bowman have no bows, either, just arrows. They always attack with bare hands, never have weapons.)
