vock Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 So I've spent the past thirty minutes or so searching around hoping to find an explanation on how to easily replace the Ancient Shrouded Set with this beautiful Nightingale mod http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1896 The closest I've gone to an answer is "- Yes. If you, let's say, want to change the Dragonplate Armor to Steel Armor you need to do the following. 1. Extract Steel Armor from meshes.bsa and Steel Armor textures from textures.bsa2. Create the correct folder path in skyrim/data (meshes/armor/... & textures/armor...)3. Copy the Steel Armor.nif's into meshes/armor/... and the Steel Armor textures into textures/armor..." Not really sure how to proceed from there. Can anyone shed some light on how to replace the DB armor with the above mod? Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsz Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's been quite a while since I did this, but if I remember right, you have to find the path and the names of the armor you're trying to replace. Then you rename the armor you want it to replace to the same names the armor you wish to replace, and put it in the path of the armor you want to replace.

vock Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Can you give me a quick walkthrough? I'm still lost. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsz Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Before I give you a good walkthrough, learn how to extract .bsa files, mod .nif files, and use .dds files. You need to know how to use those files before you can understand any walkthroughs. After you learn how to use them, you can actually create your own armors.

Demmly Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Just in case you haven't seen this mod yet: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1719 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vock Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks parsz, I'll definitely make it a goal to read up on that stuff sometime this week and let you know. :) @Demmly, that's the mod I'm using right now, but I'm trying to find a way to make the Nightingale texture mod that I included in my first post show for Ancient Shrouded too. That would look amazing imo. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimhsu Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 You could use TESSnip to go into the ARMO entry and copy the MOD2/MOD4/MODT entries over, right? Or does that not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakOnDrugs Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hey there people who might read this after me. I'm not exactly helping the original poster, seeing as this was posted three and a half years ago but maybe others are sharing this problem, as was I. First of all install the Nightingale retexture of your choice (this should be the best one http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/28899/?) Secondly install this mod. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/60991/? They do actually work together and it's magnificent and beautiful. PS. Hope I'm not breaking any bumping rules but seeing as this hasn't been resolved in three years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
