Trying to choose another model

[TalekAetem]

I'm in the GECK and I downloaded a texture for the Nuka Cola Quantum bottle, but the GECK isn't letting me change the model, it says I need a .nif file when they are .dds

 

Also, where is the GECK getting these models? I go into the directory and there is nothing there.

The models are in the Fallout - Meshes.bsa in the fallout data folder. To make changes to the models you need to export them from the game with a program like Fallout 3 Archive utility. Then you need NifSkope to add the texture to the model. Before you can you they model in geck with a new texture.
