mikeut2k3 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Is it possible to make (for example) Heavy Dragon Armor look like Nightingale Armor by renaming files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakala Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yes, but it is more practical to do it when the CS comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antagonistic Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Well, they did that with this mod: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28 SHOULD work fine for equipment as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminumfoil Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It's trivially easy. Simply extract the replacement mesh from meshes.bsa and assign it the name and file location of the mesh you want to replace. Textures take care of themselves.

mazakala Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Keep in mind that some items (like many clothes) use the same model with different textures, and in such a case replacing the model would require you to replace all the different textures as well. You could easily avoid all of this when the CS comes out... Edited November 17, 2011 by mazakala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeut2k3 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I tried to swap the 3 nif files of nighingale for ebony helmet and its a 2d image. In game it makes me have an invisible head. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
