I tried using nifskope, but I am confused as heck. I loaded the nif, then tried to browse for the texture. A weird grinding noise came from my computer, and it said can't find c:/blablabla

Is there a way to specify that I don't want it to go in C:, mainly because I dont have a C:

I see the top model, but it is untextured, becuae it is looking for it in C:, and I cant/dont know how to change the path to F:

The program doesn't even seem to recognize dds files.

hmm? really, i'll do that from now on, thanks for telling me.
about the archive things, i don't know for sure if you need it, but i think it tells the engine to use your custom content rather than taking it out of the .bsa

@silvite
yeah man, try what phantom said, sorry to be a prik, but after that i don't think i can help, youl just have to go boobyless

make it look like that i guess:

I was reading some random thing somewhere .. (er sorry to be vague) .. and it said that tes4 loads stuff by first checking the data folder and looking in the BSA second, so this file should not be needed, no other mod that modfies stuff needed to use it as far I've seen.

after fixing the nif .. I couldn't really see any diffrence in the texture .. which is weird .. and thats with an imperial char .. the new skin is prety distinct (especially after seeing it in nifskope) .. and I don't see any of that ingame (regardless of the ArchiveInvalidation.txt file being there or not) .. so I've sorta given up .. I've gone as far as re-extracting the nif and the beth textures and only replacing the textures naming the files exactly the same .. nothing) .. (the new underwear skin did work .. (with a re-extracted nif) .. so go figure ..)

gah! its just not my day

I got it to work I think.

I used the femaleupper.bak.nif and applied used the texture in nifskope and it worked. The other one that came with the mod kept being invisible.

bonebrew22,
Right now your files texture directory is like:

Textures > Characters > Imperial > female > underwear.dds, underwear_n.dds, upperbodyfemale.dds, upperbodyfemale_n.dds

but it should also have;

Textures > Characters > Darkelf > female > upperbodyfemale.dds (gray toned)
Textures > Characters > Orc > female > upperbodyfemale.dds (green toned)

If not, game uses the default upperbodyfemale.dds texture for those races with your upperbodyfemale_n.dds and that makes a strange result.

Also your new underwear looks cool but it it missing one pixel line on the top, which makes the boy-underwear connectionline to be transparent, which ruins the image ^^.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Here you can see how it looks before you do what you mention above and after you do that:

darkelf

(note 1: I am using bFaceGenTexturing=0 so skin tone would look different in you)
(note 2: I use purple on darkelf nipple color because thats how it was on daggerfall)

[bonebrew22]
