Texture Change to another Race

[xxvvxx]

Hey i got a Question. I want to use the Textures from another Race ( Naiad Race ) on ( For Example ) the Ningheim Race. Do you know how i can do that? Bcs i love the Reptile Skin on the Naiad Race but the Start Stats with 250/250/250 are kinda OP. I dont know how to Change it so could you tell me a easy way to put some Texture from the one Race over another one? is it possibile?

It pretty much boils down to the file structure of the race mod. In data/textures/actors/characters you should be able to find the folders for your installed race mods. I would suggest backing them up before mucking around in them. Find the textures you want replaced, taking note of the naming convention and folder structure (varies per race mod). Find the textures that you want to use and overwrite the originals by renaming to follow suit with the mod being replaced.

 

For example: If you want to replace the Ningheim textures, they are located in data/textures/actors/characters/ningheim and follow the standard naming convention for textures used by the game. Refer to this post (near the bottom of the OP): http://www.loverslab.com/topic/21438-illustrated-tips-guidelines-making-beautiful-female-characters/ for a good explanation of textures. The Naiad textures are at data/textures/naiad and do not follow the standard naming convention. Find the textures you want from the Naiad, change the name to match the Ningheim and replace.

 

Of course, if the starting stats are the problem and you don't like them, you could just use the CK to change them.

Okay it worked. And does somebody know how i can replace the Textures for a Vanilla Race? It feels kinda hard to find the folder for the vanilla races. I want to change the Textures and Meshes of the Nord Race for explample. Where can i find them?^^

In the Skyrim.bsa   you need to extract it.

But its probably easier and safer to just get a replacer like unp or cbbe, then use their structure to customize your files.

 

they should be located in

 

data > Textures > Actors > character >

date > Meshes > actors > character >

I think if you change the meshes for vanilla race it effects all of them, don't know about textures but I think the Nords female folder are labelled "female"

 

Here's the structure:

meshes - Data\meshes\actors\character\character assets

textures - Data\Textures\Actors\character

 

Lodakai beat me to it ^^

Hm when iam thinking about it... if i change a Vanilla Race this way NPCS are effected huh... ?

All vanilla races use the same body textures. The individual race folders are for the head normal maps.
