I made sure to save my settings in the creation kit before hand. I attempted at actually adding the armor into their inventory rather then just set it as outfit, when i hire the follower and check their inventory their armor isn't in there. I went back to check and everything seems to be in order in the Creation kit but the armors do not appear in-game. In the preview of the Creation kit everything is appears as it should in game however the characters are completely naked and only wear their secondary sleepwear clothes if they have them. I then made Outfits for npcs using the armors merged from the other mods.
I've started over again this time learning about the 'Sanitize' option and the find duplicate ids and i went and made sure everything was set properly. Well i recently began to merge mods together for personal use, with the app TESsnip and i had done before and it worked properly but went over broad with too many armors and weapons i didn't use and were just taking up hard drive space.
