The game is over a year old. Why is this coming out now?

[RobotGraveyard]

A year old game isn't relevant?

[DragonKnight]

When they are already countless guides of this nature out, another one over a year later that provides no new information is pretty irrelevant.

Anyone knows how to dress up serana in simple clothes-I have tried enchanting but she still wont wear most of the stuff....I thought new update supposed to fix this but it didnt

[SaiyanFury]

Serana will wear most light and heavy armours, but the defence rating needs to be higher than her Vampire Royal Armour's base stats (sorry, I don't know it off the top of my head). It took me a bit of time, but I leveled my smithing up to around 70, got the Saviour's Hide from Hircine's Daedric quest, and improved it with leather up to (Exquisite). Make sure to equip Serana indoors or when she's not wearing her hood or her hood will stay equipped indefinitely. You need to improve the armour you want her to equip until it's base rating is around 44-45 I'm pretty sure. I hope that helps you. :)

I've attached an image of my Serana in Saviour's Hide so you can see she can indeed be equipped differently. Also She will wear enchanted rings, circlets and necklaces. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot I actually tried saviors hide yesterday and made it legendary with leather it looks sweet and yeah most of armour you just gotta upgrade with ingots, what im trying to do is give her vaermina robes or some other outfits like that but I cant, maybe its not possible but some people online say they have her wearing it (they can tell lies I dont know) or do it through a console commands on pc, I tried enchanting a robe with 2 enchantments but it didnt help....i guess the armour rating just have to be higher like you said
P.s. I have her in ebony mail with shrouded dark brotherhood hoodie-looks preety good))

[SaiyanFury]

Oh, no problem. I actually don't have a running desktop PC right now that can actually run Skyrim, but that would be awesome to have access to the command console. I loved mucking about in Oblivion. Yeah in order for Serana to equip a different armour, it does have to be higher than her Vampire Royal Armour's base armour stat, whatever that may be. I had a set of it after going through Dawnguard, but I think I sold it (I'm a sucker for septims, haha). I shall have to see what ebony mail looks like on her, thanks for the tip, yourself. :)
