The console is a developer's tool, not a game play aid, and the potential to break your game by using it incorrectly is enormous. Some people may suggest using the console - that is NOT recommended. Vanilla by itself, you are stuck with the game as is, and, in the case of what you are asking, those NPCs cannot be made to change their default outfits unless they are a potential follower - in which case they will wear the strongest armor or weapon you give them. The options are find a mod that does it, or use a tool - 圎dit or the Creation Kit. Let me guess, the steward, the bard and the wife are all female right? Isn't it a little bit too much to handle for you under the same roof?
As stated, do not attempt unless you are completely comfortable with using 圎dit, as you can potentially bork your game. And, even if you are, make sure that you always back your files up. Can I somehow permanently change their default clothes without mods? Showing 1 - 11 of 11 comments. So I have a steward, spouse and bard living in my house.
