Hello,

 

I was wondering if there was someone out there who can tell me how to add custom armor or nexusmod armors to a standalone character in Creation Kit?

 

I haven't found a good video to help me because it's not specific enough xP

Open the esp that provides the armor in CK, and your own esp that creates the follower.

Select the armor you want, duplicate it.

Open the armor and check all ArmorAddons that are inside, duplicate all of them.

Replace the Armor Addons inside the duplicated armor with the duplicated ones.

 

Check all the NIFs in the Armor and Armor Addon, grab all the files and put them in a folder of your esp (Data\Skyrim\meshes\<mymod>\)

Edit all the NIFs with NIFSkope, open all the nodes called BSShaderTextureSet, track all the DDS that are listed inside.

Duplicate all the DDS in a folder of your mod (Data\Textures\<mymod>\)

>Be aware that the vanilla body textures do not need to be copied/updated.

Update all the paths in the NIFs and save them.

Replace all the nif in the Armor and ArmorAddons with your copies and updated NIFs.

Create an outfit for your follower.

Drag the armor (and something else if you need) inside the outfit.

Give to your follower the outfit you just created.

This image based tutorial is amazing @enya.

 

Can I integrate it in the "Tutorial Follower" document?

All credits will go to you, of course.

 

 

Yep. Wrote it once for a friend. Uploaded it on Mediafire for all people that are looking for some help.

That is good, so can I add it to the Tutorial Follower guide?
