No, the gun is a shotgun right now. I'm trying to make it a pistol. So the game treats it as a pistol.

Hi everyone, Was hoping to get some help with something I'm trying to do. I've been looking for a tutorial somewhere online that could describe how to do this but I've had no luck. There's a gun that I really like, specifically how it looks. I don't like that it's a shotgun. How would I go about changing the shotgun to a pistol? I would assume it's possible, I just don't know how or how complicated it would be. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone encountered this before. And if so, have you found a way to fix it? I fast-traveled to my home (the Falkreath home, but I don't think that matters) and a bandit said they had kidnapped my spouse. Needless to say, I hastened to her rescue and saved her. However, now I am experiencing a very annoying glitch. My spouse will no longer face any direction besides the one she was facing when trapped in the cell. She also will no longer attack. She draws her weapon, but does not attack anyone. Upon telling her to attack an enemy she responds with "No. Not possible." I've tried multiple things. I've tried unrelenting force (she does not move), attacking people, sit somewhere, nothing works. The only thing that does work is killing her and then resurrecting her. But this divorces you and does not give you the option to remarry. I have also noted the post here and the "solution" to just save multiple times and keep reloading until it works. This is now impossible however, because I was stupid and did not think much of it until after my saves had been overwritten. I was really enjoying the new features in Hearthfire but this glitch is game-breaking for me. Does anyone know of a solution to this? Or a mod that fixes it? Thank you for the help!

Aye, I understand that. Sorry for not making that more clear in my previous post. I tried something new. I just made the texture I want transparent on the .dds files. This made that part of the armor black. I also tried this with the transparency tutorial I posted earlier, but leaving the Flags variable to default. This still made the armor transparent (but the parts I wanted completely transparent worked!! >.<)

Sorry for the double post, but I did succeed, sort of. I followed the tutorial here http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Creating_an_armour_for_Skyrim._Part_2 specifically the part:

Tried that idea just now and the game crashed. I right-clicked on the NiTriShape and clicked Node>Attach Property>NiAlphaProperty http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm252/Fal444/Untitled.jpg Did I do something wrong? Thank you for your help! By the way, after a couple of tests I've confirmed that it is that NiAlphaProperty that's crashing the game (I loaded the game without the nifs but including the textures, and with non-edited nifs and textures).

Ahh, that's very helpful. Thank you :) Honestly, I was worried about that when I first opened it up and looked at it. But figured, hey if it's under that category, must be alright. Obviously not. I'll give 3D editing a whirl, and see how well it goes. I have some friends who do this for a living, so I may be able to get help there. If not, I may be back. Thank you again!

Hm, is it maybe because it's already in the game? This is the Nightingale set I'm modifying by the way. I had thought that maybe because it's a default part of the game that it doesn't load in the proper order or something. Again, just really throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks here.

Hello everyone! I have a question about editing a part of a piece of armor. I like the armor a lot, but there's one part of it that bugs me. So I was wondering if it was possible to remove it. What I've already done: I've tried just editing the .dds files inside the .bsa with Photoshop and just removing the part I don't like. This just made it white. I've downloaded NifSkope and edited the .nif files. The part of the armor does appear to have it's own "NiTriShape entry" (just going off what somebody has told me) and I have deleted it (it was under NiTriShape/3 BSDismemberSkinInstance; I clicked "Remove" as clicking clear would not delete it in-game). This causes the game to crash. I've also tried editing the number of (guessing here) bones? that are supposed to load. The game still crashes upon trying to equip the armor. The same as the last one, only clicking "Remove branch". Game still crashes. I've been putting them all in my skyrim/Data/Meshes/armor folder. I don't know how much of this actually helps, but I think I was on the right track by deleting the NiTriShape entries. I just don't know what to do next. Does anyone know what to do? Also, apologies for the newbish questions; I'm relatively new at modding. Thank you for your help in advance!
