Does anybody knows how to turn a replacement into craftable ?

[lucifernl]

Hi,

 

I have an old download with skimpy Armor called:  Killer Keos Skimpy CBBE V2-V3 Armor Replacer

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3654/

 

However, I was wondering if it is possible to turn this one into a craft able, instead of a replacer ?

So if any one could help me out ?

Or maybe even know if there is also (a maybe newer) a craft able version ?

I think I did something like that years ago, no I don't still have it.

 

You need to rename all of the nif files or change their filepath so they don't overwrite vanilla.  Then create an esp with all of the new armors, armor addons and recipes.  No, it's not a quick project.

You probably could automate the creation of the plugin with xEdit: Copy existing outfit records and their crafting and tempering recipes. I imagine all this script would have to change is add a prefix to all editor ids it copies, making sure recipes point to the new armor records and adding a prefix to the nif paths. Not saying its trivial; probably would take me a couple of hours, mainly because I dislike pascal and I don't recall seeing documentation for the xEdit api anywhere (it probably exists, right?).

 

Edit: Yup, there it is. wbCopyElementToFileWithPrefix looks like a start.

No doubt that would be easier if someone knows anything about scripting.  Sadly I do not and had to manually brute force it.  I also suspect the OP doesn't either.  The prefix thing you mentioned is how I did it too - copied vanilla records with a kk at the beginning.
