I was able to successfully create a custom head and face texture by just doing the quick and dirty of replacing the game's nif and dds with my own. And by doing this, I'm able to get my custom head into the game, and also looksmenu. However, in the looksmenu, I'm unable to change the face in any way (except eyes and hair style). No bigger nose, scars, or anything else. During the process of replacing the models, I was able to parent my custom mesh to the game armature. and the method I used to replace the meshes, was to remap the game's mesh to my own, so that hopefully my mesh would have the same properties as the original. I thought this was enough to have a fully functioning face/head, but like I said, I can't adjust it in looksmenu. Also there's a strange offset in the texture. Although Blender and Nifskope can display the texture properly, in the game, I have to raise and enlarge the texture for it to work. There's so little documentation about custom head mesh and face textures that is specific to Fallout 4. So I'm posting to get advice from the experts. What else do I need to do to get my head fully functional? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

I have extracted the BA2s already, I just didn't do it in the photo, because I was using FO4Edit to just to show a file that I can't get to. In extracting the BA2s, as you suggested, I still don't see RaiderRootBehavior.hkx . Chuck thanks for the feedback, any other suggestions?

Hi guys. I'm new to modding and I've been learning by watching youtube and by examining mods that I already use. I have several mods that only have esp (they dont have ba2). When I examine these esp with FO4edit, I see files that are not on my computer. For example, in the attached picture, I dont have raiderrootbehavior.hkx when I navigate to the listed behavior folder. I've tried ticking show hidden items, and it's still not there. So I can only assume that the file is in the esp. My question is, how can I access a file such as raiderrootbehavior.hkx. If you guys are going to suggest using the CK or the Archive 2 extractor, please be specific, becuase I've tried these tools, but dont know how to use them to the extent necessary to open that file. Thanks!
