📋 About This Mod
Is this mod for you?
Have you ever tried to equip armor on your follower only to find that they're being snotty little brats and not removing their default armor they think is better than what you're giving them? Then you go into their inventory and can't see the armor they refuse to remove? Then you curse Talos because Lydia won't wear your slooty armor?
If yes, bazinga! Keep reading, and get a nice little glimpse into my life, where I yell at women and clothes vanish from their bodies (works on men too when I'm feeling saucy!).
If no, just download it, endorse it, delete it... because I desperately need validation. Or track it and save it for later. At some point, you may need it.
Description
It's quite simple, so I won't belabor this page with unnecessary length and explanations.
There's a "Mysterious Drink" (looks like a Skooma bottle) on the corner of the bar/counter at the Bannered Mare in Whiterun (see the first image above). Someone probably left it there, and the golden rule anyone will tell you at a bar is if you find a drink, finder's keepers, so obviously you drink it. Guzzle that puppy on down and learn the "Disarmor Ally" shout this plugin adds to the game. Is the method of learning this shout immersive, you might ask? Well, without questioning it, you drink what I can only imagine to be thousand year old potions deep within ancient Nordic dungeons that could quite literally be Draugr urine from some long-dead jack@ss who thought it would be funny, so... yes?
This mod will work on all followers, vanilla and custom. For Serana's hood, see this.
How it Works
1) You use the new "Disarmor Ally" shout at your follower (aim and fire baby)
2) A script removes all items from the follower's inventory and temporarily gives those items to a vanilla NPC in the game
3) A script then runs on that vanilla NPC to evaluate the new items in his inventory a) If the item is an armor piece, it goes to your inventory b) If the item is not an armor piece, it goes back to your follower's inventory c) The vanilla NPC's inventory is emptied of these new items, like nothing ever happened
4) Your follower's default outfit is changed to one without any clothing pieces assigned (i.e. nekid!)
