HyacinthCreations

So I've been trying to make an npc replacer for Serana. Simple right? NO! My life is in SHAMBLES rn. I have followed so, so many tutorials. Here is the exact steps I have taken so far: 1. I opened Skyrim, used RaceMenu to make a new face for her from scratch. 2. Exported the head 3. Opened up the creation kit, made a new file called Hyacinth_Serana 4. Loaded all the mods I used to make her (KS, kalilies brows) and ofc Skyrim, Update, and Dawnguard. 5. Found her in the actors menu 6. Exported her FaceGenData 7. Opened up Nifscope (with the new nif file) and changed her head texture path to textures/actors/character/FaceGenData/FaceTint/Dawnguard.esm/00002B6C.dds 8. Got the NEW .dds and .nif files that I exported from Racemenu. Renamed them and replaced the creation kit FaceGenData ones with the new files That's all I could follow from the tutorials, because the only ones online both use MO2 to make overwrite files. Is that required? I don't have, or want, MO2 unless it's essential. Am I missing something else? Please help!
