How to make custom containers

[BarryBeeBenson]

I know how to work containers and all, except for one thing: I don't know how to select the AmmoBox01.NIF whenever I go to make a custom container.

 

If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

In the container form, you have a line saying: Model Edit

 

Click on Edit and navigate to the loose file in the Data folder, select it.

 

If not present, you have to place the AmmoBox01.nif there while respecting the folder/subfolder structure.µ

 

Later, you can delete the loose file since the form will be looking for it in the BSA.

I find it easier to just duplicate an existing container that has the mesh I want.
