Help using GECK to add eye and eyelash mod.

[thyice]

Ok so i'm trying to add an eye and eyelash mod to my character in Fallout NV and I think you have to do it through GECK but I have no idea what the hell i'm doing. I've tried looking up videos but I couldn't find anything helpful, so if anyone could help import the textures and meshes onto my character that would be great. I can't post links but the names of the mods are "Deep Spiritual Eyes NV" and "Eyelash Texture Mod Resource" just encase you need to know. Sorry if I left anything you might need to know out im new to Fallout modding, thanks!

Which eyebrow mod are you using to wanting to do this? throttlekitty's eyelash mod?

Eyebrows and Eyelashes can be added one of two ways, assuming on how the original modder created them.

 

If you're using a head with combined parts, like a combined mouth and teeth mesh, it exposes one of the combined parts as a new mounting slot. If your race has a combined mesh, for example, all of the Mikoto races... you can add eyelashes and eyebrows as Head Parts, like Mikoto does to its races. You'll notice for Mouth it has MouthHumanMerged.nif and for the parts now merged into the mouth, like teeth, it uses Vacuus.nif. For the Tongue, it uses Eyelashes. So, changes to a merged mouth race can be made in the RACE record as well as the NPC record as an HNAM entry.

 

If you're using a race that doesn't have a merged mouth, pretty much everything except Mikoto or any races based on Mikoto, you'll need to add the Eyelashes and Eyebrows as HNAM entries in the NPC's record.

 

So, basically, create an HDPT record (Head Part) for the Eyelash or Eyebrow, then add it to the Head Parts (HNAM) list for your NPC in their record. Or, if it's a race with a merged mouth, you can make it part of the RACE record by adding the nif as part of the head entries, replacing upper or lower teeth or the tongue.

 

If it's for your own character, i.e. the player, simply make a head part entry like before, an HDPT record... and it'll be pickable like eyebrows and beards and moustaches are from the normal character creator... meaning any NPC that can give you a haircut can let you pick the new eyebrow/eyelash so long as you set the HDPT entry to be "playable". If you open FalloutNV.esm in FNVEdit, check the HeadParts list, you'll see exactly what I mean... you can even mix and match... for example, combine eyelashes and eyebrows by adding one or the other as an "extra part" to the other entry... for example, the NVEC error correction mod, added the EyebrowM entry as an extra part to all the male beards so they had nice eyebrows as well as the beard itself. So any HDPT can be added to any other HDPT as an extra part.
