Adding Custom Models to Skyrim?

[Blitzkrieggj]

I have several objects that i want to import into skyrim as .nif files so that they show up in the creation kit. Is there any way of importing them without replacing an existing object in skyrim? Also, if i import them as mesh only .nif's with no texture data will any part of the models be visible or are mesh's always hiden? Does anyone know of any youtube tutorials specific to this type of importing? There are so many tutorials i cant find the relivent ones :(

Atm i've only got a tutorial 'bout weapon import online buuut when it comes to other objects and you want them to be standalone you have to create all needed forms in the CK and set up the paths to your nif files.

 

weapon forms: NAME, 1stpersonNAME, recipeweaponNAME, temperweaponNAME

armor forms: armorNAME, NAMEAA, recipearmorNAME, temperweaponNAME

 

One form with all informations/values, one form that links to the models, one form to make it craftable and one to make it improveable.

 

So i would recommend to look up a similar normal decoration item in the CK like a spoon or whatever, copy all forms it uses and change name, ID, settings/nif paths to your nif files.

 

When your nif file contains a BSLightningShaderProperties block or something similar with empty texture paths the item will be displayed without textures but with a naked/purple surface.
