That's a good idea, will assign a null.nif as well and upload for those who have problems. Although it's still weird that a slotless item shows up on someone...if you could exploit that bug somehow you could make an unlimited amount of slots!
Heh, true.
In the mean time, I have been seing it happen again, but only on some NPCs after I back out through load doors from a dungeon. So it′s like the game is (re)equipping the NPCs with whatever they have when they get loaded again. Strange. :unsure:
