swggeekgirl Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hello there, thank you for taking a moment out of your day to read this. I've done a lot of hunting and perhaps it may be that I am not sure what I need to search for, but I am interested in doing some simple recolors on a few items in game. Such as the Thalmor robes. I know there's a lot of recolors out there, but it's mostly on all the skimpy armor that no self-respecting woman would wear as a mage, unless of course their goal was NOT to fight. To me the Thalmor robes have an elegant look, but aren't screaming "Hi let me show you where to stab me". So basically I want to get in there with photoshop, and recolor the Thalmor robes to a nicer white color, as my mage is more on the lighter side of the spectrum. Any help would be greatly appreciated and remembered! I'd also, if successful with the recolor, post them to Nexus and share with everyone else who might be interested. Thanks again!

swggeekgirl Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ok, so I downloaded that manager, but it wants a directory for Fallout, which I don't have. Is there a trick to bypass that? OH and thank you for the very quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampanaAliquanta Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 No worries - I'm at work and it's a slow day :P If you open the BSA browser via the start menu (rather than the FOMM itself) you will be able to extract the .bsa files.

swggeekgirl Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ah-ha, there we go, if I'd of read down in your post on the link, I'd of seen that. That will teach me to just read the basics! Thank you kindly for the assistance, hopefully via your tutorial posting and such, I may have my flashy white robes in a few hours :) Thanks again!

swggeekgirl Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Just wanted to share my first outcome, again I'm appreciative of your help.

CampanaAliquanta Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Oooh shiny... That looks pretty good. I repainted my own archmage robes black and silver, because they felt a bit dull ito colouring. Glad it worked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
