Ranger Casual Outfit and a question about how to do it.

[Corsetti]

So there is clothing called Ranger Casual Outfit and it has a radio and sling and all I want to do is remove that and just have the pants and shirt but I can not figure out how to do that. If anybody could teach me how to do that I would be very grateful. I have Nifskope, FOMM, and the GECK installed as well if those are needed. I was also wondering how I can change things. Like say I wanted to keep the shirt from Ranger Casual Outfit but I wanted to add Raul's pants from his Vaquero outfit. How would I go about doing that?

It's quite easy to remove the radio from the Ranger Casual Outfit in Nifskope. You need to find the mesh in the Fallout - Meshes.bsa archive in your data folder it's path is meshes/armor/ncr_civilian/ncr_civ_03_m.nif . Once you've found it extract it and put it in data/meshes/armor/ncr_civilian/

you may need to create the ncr_civilian folder in the armor folder.
Then open the /ncr_civ_03_m.nif in Nifskope. To a part of the outfit left click on the part on the model then right click block->remove branch. Once you are done save it and that should be the part removed.

 

The problem with the second part is quite a few of the meshes are made with the trousers connected to the top so you can't just remove the part in nifskope. For that you need a program like blender which is a pretty nasty program to learn.


Here's the tutorial I used to learn nifskope and blender:

The nexus also has a very good wiki (which is currently not working) which has some pretty good tutorials:

Good luck

Thanks a lot for that. So I'm pretty sure I did that. I made a folder on my computer and exported all the BSAs there. Then I used NifSkope to open the Ranger Outfit and I made it how I wanted it to look and I saved it but I don't know what to do with that. Also I'm not sure but I downloaded a couple of those tutorials and it had screenshots and xml files that just opened an internet explorer tab with scripts so how would I go about getting those to work? Thanks for helping again.

If you followed my instructions exactly you should have made a replacer version of that ranger outfit. If you want a non replacer version.
This topic has how to make a non replacer in GECK: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/142924-how-do-i-make-a-non-replacer/?p=1217941

The tutorial to use in the one I linked is the nifskope and blender one. It's the .docx file you need to open so use something like Microsoft Word or OpenOffice or Google drives can also open word documents .
