I have an NPC that refuses to keep her clothes on after a server restart.

I used "cheat summon ZKs_Sword_Female_BP_C" to spawn her.

I have summoned others without a problem but this is the only Sword so far.

She spawned in at level 6. Initially calmed down with about 3 hand waves. At some point, before I got her completely tamed, she got pissed off about something and started attacking anything that moved.

When I finally got her attention off of my other NPCs (set to passive flee), she chased me all over the island before I finally got her to calm down. Even then, it took about 20 berries to tame her instead of the usual 5 or 6.

Her taming meter would drain really fast and I had to feed her berries as soon as the option was available or I was losing ground. (I suspect breaking taming might have been what set her off, but you would know if that was a possibility or not.)

Finally got her tamed and her clothing was messed up. She spawned with the appearance of a full set of leather. However, there was no clothing in her equipment slots. I had to put clothing in every slot to get the appearance to go away.

All seemed well until I restarted the server. The clothing that I had given her was gone and she was totally naked except for her sword. I put more clothing on her and all seemed well. A glitch, I thought. But when I stopped the server and restarted it, she was running bare and had empty clothing slots again.
