larose Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Apologies if this has been asked previously, but, now that I've begun experimenting with making a MOD I've noticed that a number of the NIF files my Oblivion game typically relies on are nowhere to be found in my Oblivion Meshes directory, notably (just to name two) skeletonbeast.nif and cookingpot.nif. Now I've loaded a number of MODs into my current install, notably Robert's body replacer for male and female, but would that wipe out the Characters\_Male\skeletonbeast.nif? Also, I was trying to make a cooking pot with items in it that you could remove or even put more items in (just for a lark) but I can't find the cookingpot.nif in the Clutter\Farm folder where Construction Set says it should be. Selecting show hidden files in my OS settings does not make them appear, at least not where I'm looking for them, and I can't find them with Construction Set or NifSkope. Again, as I'm new at the modding thing, am I missing something very simple or do I have to uninstall Oblivion and reinstall fresh just to have access to these NIF files? Cheers!

M48A5 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 All of the .nif or .dds files for the vanilla game are contained in .bsa files. Such as meshes.bsa or textures.bsa. In order to open them, you will need a BSA extraction tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larose Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thanks a bunch! I downloaded "BSA Unpacker", extracted the NIF file i wanted, and fabbed my cooking pot complete with stew. Looks great in the fireplace... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great in the fireplace... Cheers! Hey ! Would you mind sending me you Cooking Pot with Stew nif ? It would be perfect in a mod I'm developing. Of course I'll credit you for it would the mod be released. And let you know if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
