Now that be obj's they be attached in nif scope (save as nifs) now my questions is .... How would they be Implemented in game ? construction set or drop and drag in mesh folder ??

You first create your body model as a single object in your 3D modeling program. Then you create a UV Map for it and then a texture.

 

Then separate the body parts as you have mentioned and export each as NIF files (assuming you are using Blender, 3ds max or Maya).

 

If done properly, you can (at least initially) name the files the same as the originals and turn it into a "replacer" for the default body without having to do anything in the CS. After you got the replacer files working flawlessly, then I'd recommend moving on to the next step of creating custom, unique NPCs and such.

 

EDIT:

 

Not sure if you want to get into creating heads though, there is a LOT of headaches (pun intended) surrounding the creation of fully functional heads.
