Race nif utility

[cyyn]

Hey out there to all the more experienced modders. I was wondering if there is a utility or something to set a nif file according to race, rather than having a preset nif body structure that is used by all races.

Not quite sure what you mean about the Nif file, but -

You can use different textures for each race. Just make a folder

with the race name in the Characters folder. Make one male and one female.

 

You can also assign different body shapes to NPC's within a specific mesh type by using them

with clothes and armour in CS. ie.- EXNEM/HGEC -You can use all the cup sizes and

the gut thighs, and bigger booties (don't know if there are clothes for the bigger booties).

This is a long process, but allows for a lot of variety in NPC clothing, but not so much in armour

as many NPC's have leveled armour, so what you put on at level 5 will change later. It is probably

possible to mess with the leveld armour, but I haven't tried.

 

Using a mix of body mesh types ( Robert and EXNEM) is a problem becaues they all use different

UV maps, but I did see a mod the other day that uses four different textures on one dds.

I haven't tried this.

There is also a mod that allows your player character to use a different body mesh than the NPC's

Try this mod.
