To change the color of non-armor attire

[zremaG]

I just want to be able to change the color of my newsboy cap, ushanka, suit, slacks, etc. Make it something like you put it in the Armor Workbench, then use certain fruit or plants to dye the article.

Yes, really want to know this as well.

Fairly simple actually - get yourself the Bethesda Archive Extractor from the nexus http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/78/?

Then, download DXTBmp - a tool used to change .dds files

Open up the Texture files with the B.A.E., find the clothing/armour you want to recolour, extract it - open up the .dds file with the DXTBmp tool and then double click on the texture in the program. It will be opened in an image editor and just go wild, change it up however youd like. After that, save in the image editor; exit; save in DXTBmp and finally put the changed .dds file in your Fallout 4/Data/Textures/-name of the changed clothing/armour file/ and paste it there.

So I could put any pattern or color on them? Awesome! I'm definitely going to do this later tonight or tomorrow.

So far I have found your advice really helpful and im really exited to use this but im having trouble with it, so once ive edited the texture and everything and im ready to paste it into the textures file, is there a specific name that it has to have? Because I have tried just putting a similar name but every time i boot up the game expecting to see the change, there is none. So thats where i think im going wrong I just dont know how. pls help
