[resolved; user error] Mannequins not working

Invisible gear on mannequins
I've started to notice that any mannequins I place in an outpost or those as part of a player home mod do not show any gear I place on them. It is still just an empty-looking mannequin, but opening its inventory shows the gear is actually there on it.
I suspect this is caused by Aevi's Aerospace since it does things like those on mannequins in its custom ship habs and its player home to make the items go into a "cloud storage" area/cell. This enables you to work on gear stored in your ship or player home from any connected workbench. It says it causes this behavior on those mannequins, but I wasn't aware it would cause a similar behavior on all mannequins.
I'll have to test this theory out when I can, but right now I'm on a new NG+ where I'm already using Aevi's Aerospace to supplement my Watchtower fleet.
So this was just user error. 😅
Aevi, on Reddit, reminded me that you have to equip the gear to the mannequin once you move it into its inventory. I did not recall doing that over a year ago when, on one playthrough, I setup an outpost in the Hyla system and put prominent suits on display.
