Change nif/dds of a vanilla npc

[peppefarina]

hey guys :cool:

I have a basic understanding of how to change body meshes for a standalone npc

which comes with an esp and relative meshes/texture/facegendata folders,

but how do i change the meshes of a vanilla npc? :mellow:

 

I've looked around, the only answer I find is to make a custom race?

There are other ways?

I know there are some mods that use various body type to change several npc, but that's not what i'm looking for.

 

I need the quickest/simplest way to change the .nif/.dds of a vanilla npc. and only his/hers.

 

thanks guys. :laugh:

I don't think it's possible to do. If it is there'd be a mod featuring such a change already, if there is you can look at how they did it to effect a similar change.

Make it piece of armor and make it so that it's his/hers basic outfit which is always unequipped when there's no "better" armor available.

 

simple.

Shadowjin, did you mean:"which is always "equipped" when there's no better armour", am I right?

simple.

 

Interesting...

but not that simple, at least for me, how can i make a femalebody_0.nif, and feet and hands etc into armour?

No. Only when there is no armor available.
