Replacing Vanilla Armor with HDT in Creation Kit (.xml file, what to do?)

[USERLAB24]

I want to replace a vanilla armor (Iron Armor) with an HDT one (from a mod) in the Creation Kit and make NPC wear that HDT armor instead of the vanilla one. SKSE and HDT plugin is installed and working.

 

With normal armors i just copy meshes and textures to Data folder, select and replace .nif files in Creation Kit, but the HDT armor has .xml file and dont know what i need to do with that. ¿ can someone explain me what i need to do to make physics work?

Should work just the same. For smp data there is a link in string within .nif file. I imagine HDT-PE is the same.

Just point armor addon to the .nif you want to use and no futher modifications should be needed. Assuming the partition slots are the same, anyway.
