replacing skins in existing mods

[gingersnapples]

I'm trying to replace the soviet armor in zeta crew with a different model, but i'm having a little difficulty. is there a way i can do this?

hey, you can rename the new textures/meshes to what the soviet ones are called, and overwrite these four files in the respective armor/Mothership crew/Soviet folders

 

xxx.dds (texture)

xxx_n.dds (texture)

xxx.nif (mesh)

xxxgo.nif (mesh)

 

and if you install the replacements as a fomod, or with NMM the overwrite isnt permanent, which is important cause the new armor might equip to a different body slot and stuff something up, or might look wrong so you can undo it just as easily
