Nifskope question. How do I set the texture path to point to the vanilla BSAs?

[huntsman2310]

I'm in the midst of making up a mod that adds in separated chest and legging pieces for each set of armor in the game and dlcs. Is there a way for me to point the texture paths of these NIFs to the vanilla Skyrim BSA that has all of the vanilla textures in it? Because I keep finding I have to actually have them out of the BSA and have them in the folder.

As long as you don't have any textures in your Data folder that override those in the BSA, yes.

You only need the correct path for the texture file in the BSA (- which would be the same as its replacer texture if you had one). Set that path in Nifskope; you will not see it appear on the mesh as you would with a replacer texture, but that's fine, it will appear in-game :)

...at least that's how it works for me, I hope it also does for you!
