Overview
- Skyrim's equipment system works with item slots - I'm not sure exactly which numbers the game uses by default but there are four armor/clothing slots - one for feet, hands, helmet and armor. The helmet slot is also used for circlets and hoods. Then there are slots for rings and necklaces. That's all the stuff that comes to mind for vanilla skyrim.
- Knowing what armor slots are occupied by items is an addition that would vastly improve my quality of life in Skyrim. I think all that needs to be done is merging the config.txt and decompiling the swf to incorporate the changes that project the slot numbers into the bipedSlots column described in the config.txt.
This guide includes all the body slots available for armours in Skyrim and their standard usage. Some of them are already used by Bethesda. In the case of slots not used in vanilla game, this guide indicates the reference usage that has been set by consensus between modders.
Skyrim Body parts numbers
And hard to answer with certainty without access to the creation kit. But i think your best bet is the cheat room mod. In the cheat room is a chest called 'other' with a bunch of items called 'ring equip slot 30 - head' (or 31 - hair, 32 - body, 33 - hands, etc) all the way up to ring equip slot 60 - unnamed and ring equip slot 61 - FX01.

This is the list of the body parts used by Bethesda and named in the Creation Kit:

Setting the body slot in Skyrim
In Skyrim you need to set the body slot used by a piece or armour in two places:
- In the Dismemberment data of the nif file
- In the Armor addon and Armor items in the Creation Kit
IMPORTANT: The body slot you set in the nif file and in the CK must be the same, or your armour will be invisible in game.
Required tools
- Nifskope: latest NifSkope version.
- Creation Kit: available on Steam (Menu option View -> Tools and then select Creation Kit)
Setting the body slot in the nif file
- Load the mesh into NifSkope
- Select the BSDismemberSkinInstance node of one of the NiTriShape nodes of your armour as shown in picture Adjusting the dismemberment data.
- In the Block details section expand the Partitions property.
- Expand the second Partitions property.
- Make sure that the Part Flag property has bloth flags selected: PF_EDITOR_VISIBLE and PF_START_NET_BONESET. If not, double click and select both flags from the drop down list.
- The Body Part property will contain one or more of the body parts ypu've created in Blender (BP_TORSO, BP_LEFTLEG or BP_RIGHTARM). Double click on these values and change them to:
- From BP_TORSO to 32
- From BP_RIGHTARM to 34
- From BP_LEFTLEG to 37
- Repeat this steps for all the BSDismemberSkinInstance nodes of all the NiTriShape nodes of your armour.
- Save the nif file.
