Companions also sometimes have pathing issues trying to find the back of the armor, so it can be helpful to direct them to "go" to its side, then its back, and then in. The companion can only enter armor from the back, so if they are backed up against something you might need to tell them to move first, and you might need to move the armor before they can get in it. So, if you want to switch the associated frame to your companion's frame you'll have to tell them to get out of it and get in it yourself. Walking up to a frame while wearing armor and attempting to interact definitely associates it. This means that your companion's armor will not be associated with the frame while they are wearing it. The frame associated with the stand seems to be the last one you were wearing, unless someone else has worn it since.

You may or may not need to have the companion get out of the armor, depending on your situation.Īt a stand with an associated frame, you can only work on the pieces of armor on the frame associated with that stand, or ones in your inventory.
