[jesterframe]

I need help with skyrim creation kit...i want to make a custom follower mod but how do i make it with other mods? like making a follower with UNP or hair mods, other skin mods or other mods?

So you want to make a stand alone follower that doesn't need a "my mod requires these mods to work"?

Assuming your're planning on getting permissions, and giving credit and releasing to the Nexus, I'll give you the basics.

 

For the body, you need to make a skin for your follower. A skin is just an armor. Armors use armoraddons to point to the correct mesh(nif).

 

So in the ArmorAddons section, duplicate and rename the NakedTorso, NakedHands, and NakedFeet. In the Biped Model section, point each of these to the corresponding .nif file in your mesh folder.

Next go to the Armor section, and duplicate rename the SkinNaked armor. At the bottom where it says models, delete the existing models. Right-click and new. Now select the torso, hands, and feet that you just made.

Now you can create an Actor and use this new "armor" for the skin.

 

Making armors and clothing is the same process.

 

To use custom skin textures for your follower, you'll need to either edit the nifs in nifskope, or make a TextureSet(duplicate and rename SkinBodyFemale_1) in the creation kit. Point them to your custom .dds texture files.

 

For custom hairs, go to the HeadPart section. duplicate and rename an existing hair, then point to the custom nif file in your mesh folder.
