Skyrim Question

[Rennn]

I'm editing the vanilla Skyrim body meshes. I've been looking at Skyrim armor tutorials, as that's the closest thing I could find. The armor tutorials tell me to delete the bones of the mesh, but would I actually delete those if I'm editing the body itself for a body mod? I'm using Nifskope and Blender.

Seeing as how you're just editing the mesh, and not adding any new pieces to it, the skeleton should remain in working order. Adding new pieces will require you to parent it to the skeleton again, and to do that it's best to remove the original one and just import&parent a new one.
