Well, after about an hour of searching the web and forums, I've come up with nothing, so I apologize if the answer is out there, but I can't find it.

I am attempting to add a weapon to the player's inventory and have it equipped in the Left Hand. I cannot find an EquipItem parameter in Papyrus which allows it (although the Console does, for some reason). Is there another method or workaround that would allow a script to equip an item in the Left Hand?

Thanks in advance!

What type of item do you want to use? Some items such as daggers are only set to work with one hand (either right or left). You might want to check the weapon settings to see what it's set at. When I create a weapon mod I put the setting at EITHER HAND.

Thanks for the reply Zhohl. Its a staff. I want it to be equipped in the left hand, and set the setting as Left Hand in the CK, but the script still equips it in the right hand. I also tried setting the staff to either hand, both hands, none, shield....the script always just equips it in the right hand...

Is the combat style of the NPC you are trying to set it on allow dualing? Try your mod on Jenassa... She equips a staff in her left hand when holding a sword in her right. (I think)

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my first post; my intent is to have the script equip the item on the player. I have a spell which adds the staff, then equips it on the player. My goal is to have the spell add a Staff to the Left hand, and another weapon to the Right hand.
