Mod Instructions

[deSairys]

I have never modded beyond making character presets in most games I play, but something in this game is driving me crazy enough to want to learn. The hair styles that show the hairline around the forehead on pale colors glows rather than look shadowed. the way hair roots around the face should look. Try it out, try white hair on a character with Andreja's hairstyle. Walk out in the sun and watch the hairline shine like a distracting beacon.

 

So I'm asking please, can anyone direct me to whatever program they use to pull out the game's textures, alter them, and put them back into the game? I have photoshop. What other programs do I need? Is there a website or link that will give me instructions on how to mod textures?

 

I don't want the roots dark like grown out, just looking natural and not glowing white. I'm willing to learn if someone will teach me or direct me to the tools so I can do it myself. I'm retired so I have plenty of time to learn this, I just need someone gracious enough to point me in the right direction. Pleeeaaaseeee!

 

Edit to add: I've just downloaded Blender, I think that's the program people are using?

About the hair textures im not sure, but I use BAE to extract bethesda textures.

Edit:

You will also need the intel photoshop plugin for the correct file format saving:
