Swapping item textures?

[Musicdude132]

I love the Spirit Tree Shield, but it's stability stats are awful. Would it be possible to swap textures so that I'm using the Spirit Tree Shield model with the stats of a better Shield?

 

I don't mean altering stats of the Shields, just for example replacing the Defender Shields texture/model with the Spirit Tree Shield. I'll essentially be using the Defender Shield just with the model of the other shield. No cheating or anything like that. Just purely aesthetic on my end.

You can do this one of two ways, both of which involve using the Creation Kit. First, you can have the mesh and texture of the Defender Shield point to the Spirit Tree Shield's mesh and texture. Or, you can create a new type of Spirit Tree Shield which uses the Defender Shield's stats. Just give the Spirit Tree Shield a new, unique name, then alter the stats to the Defender Shield's stats.

 

If you need a step-by-step tutorial, I'd check YouTube. :)
