I'm trying to do a player.equipitem to equip my custom smithed/enchanted gear, but I'm missing the objectid for it. I can do a player.inv to list the gear, but it only shows the base objectid. If I try to do a player.equip using the base objectid my custom item is equipped, but only with vanilla stats - no armor or damage increases, or enchants. It's only when I manually unequip/equip the item that the custom stats are used.

Is there a way to find the objectid of custom smithed/enchanted items in my inventory? I did a search of the forum, but I didn't see any mention of this.

AFAIK the way things used to work was items like that were stored in inventory as a record of [Number of Base Object] and [Extra Data: Base Object, Charge level, owner, etc]. Odds are when you force-equip it all it does is see if they have any of Base Object and equip it, without ever looking to see if there's any Extra Data for a Base Object of that type in your inventory. Perhaps because if you had multiple different Extra Data entries for the same Base Object (i.e. several copies of the same weapon with different levels of smithing, soul charge) it doesn't have any way of knowing which one you would be referring to with equip.

Makes sense.

So is there anyway to get the extra data about an object from the console, and, if you can, be able to use it to equip the item? I gather from your explanation that it's probably not possible.

I was hoping to use this to create hotkeys for gear/weapon sets without a mod.

I know this works on NPCs, but it might also work on objects.

gives you the baseID of an NPC, so I'm wondering if
