Standalone NPC overwrite vanilla NPC

[bongo555]

I've been trying to do this job forever and cant get it right. Mod doesn't matter but for example bijin warmaidens. I want to take aranea ienith replacement from that mod and put it directly onto dravynea stoneweaver. Only appearence no other edits. I wish it was not difficult, just renaming the npc somehow. I read guides for using nifmerge and applying new faces but I want take the face AND the body the whole standalone npc appearence and put it on another npc in-game. So many standalone followers on nexus and here, I want to take some of them and put their appearance onto ugly vanilla npcs. Standalone bodies important too for strong muscle map borgakh and fair skin muiri and all extra things standalone lets you do.

 

Anyone know a simple way to accomplish? Sounds easy but is so difficult. Body and face only don't want stats. Making bijin warmaidens work on different vanilla npcs like sapphire and vex. Toccata follower makes a perfect ysolda. Standalone followers always use vanilla voices anyway but dont have stories. Don't need 50 standalone followers that sound like lydia. Why not spread around faces and bodies on already interesting vanilla followers?

 

Sorry my english is bad.

game want femaleheadnorth when it load ysolda

if you replace ysolda nif with toccata nif, femaleheadnord is called toccatahead (maybe, don't know), so it won't work

 

either you rename toccatahead to femaleheadnorth

either you copy paste toccata nitrishapedata to ysolda nitrishapedata (i do that, less clicks)
