How to faster change the equip slot of armors?

[tiluta]

Hello,

I've got various bras from different clothing mods. However most of them are equipped on slot 32. However I'd like to combine them with other clothing so that both the bra and the other piece of clothing are showable. Now I've already done this for a couple of items, but the process is very time consuming, and also if I rebuild my CBBE morphs with another Bodyslide Preset, I am screwed. I will list my workflow below, and want to ask for some tips, workflows, anything really that will allow me to speed up the process.

Workflow:

 

1. Create duplicate files already build with Bodyslide. For example bra_0.nif, bra_1.nif  ---> bra_alt_0.nif, bra_alt_1.nif
2. Open each file in Nifscope, and change slot 32 --> slot 46
3. Open SSEdit
   1.  Copy Armor and Armor Addon records into a new ESL
   2.  Change every slot 32 --> slot 46 ( both armor and armor addon )
   3.  In every Armor record, make sure to update the reference to the new Armor Addon record
   4.  In every Armor Addon record, change the name of the target mesh

 

All of this can be really time-consuming, and I can't help but think there are better ways to do it. Especially since I want to copy more bras this way. Is there a way for example to create an additional bodyslide item, so that the ALT files would be automatically rebuilt if I use a different body preset? Are there some SSEdit scripts that can change such records? Or maybe even scripts that do something similar, and I need to tweak them a bit? Maybe writing my own Python script that automatically updates the NIF files and the ESL records?

Thank you for reading!

The only thing i can suggest, it to drop point "2. Open each file in Nifscope, and change slot 32 --> slot 46". You can do it in BS much faster (look under Partitions).
