Attempting to modify NPC in a mod

[Mcmugger]

For personal use, I know I need permission to release it... But here's my problem.

 

Downloaded Montanas Sexy Companion II

 

In my opinion, the character, Astrianna, looks kind of bad, that and she's human...=P, So I was trying to change her into a Moonshadow Elf, 'cause they look good (props to that author)

 

So, without any prior knowledge or ever having opened TESCS up before, I gave a crack at it... The results are somewhat of a failure.

 

Here was my procedure exactly:

 

1. Loaded TESCS up (latest version)

2. Opened Sexycompanion.esp (which is Montanas Sexy Companion II)

3. Opened Moonshadow Elves - SC.esp (Which is the Moonshadow Elves of course)

4. Browsed to where the NPC Astrianna was

5. Opened up the Astrianna file to edit her

6. Changed the race from PartyGirl (The default race of Montanas Sexy Companion II's Astrianna) to zzSPMU (The Moonshadow Elf race)

7. I messed around with the face and hair,

8. I clicked SAVE on the FACE tab and closed out of the edit box

9. Then clicked FILE->SAVE and closed out of TESCS

10. Start the game using OBSE 1.9

11. Used the spell provided by the Montanas Sexy Companion II to summon Astrianna

12. Become disappointed because Astrianna appeared as if I had never edited her.

 

So what am I doing wrong? Editing Astrianna in TESCS does nothing it seems, as when I summon her, she is back to her default model and such.

 

 

EDIT* Ok, so I did a little messing around, I am able to alter the face without using other mods, ie Custom Races.

 

Still don't know how to apply the Moonshadow Elf to Astrianna in the mod though...

 

EDIT*

I completely figured it out, now that I know what to do, I'm slapping myself silly for being so dumb.
