[LE] Question about changing NPC's attire in creation kit

[HakuSenpai]

I'm basically trying to make my skyrim NPCs more immersive by changing their individual outfits/armor with some of the armor & clothing mods on the nexus. My question is, how can I do this without having so many armor & clothes mods in my game? I only want what I need to be on the NPCs I select through the Nexus, I don't need the entire thing installed..

You'd need to download any armor mods you want to use, extract the files and then create new records in the Creation Kit that use the meshes and textures you've extracted as their baseline models. You'd then need to create outfit records that contain the records of the clothing or armor you just created and assign them to any NPCs you want to use these new modified clothing and armor.
