How to change armor slot without BSDismemberSkinInstance

[kboom]

Hey guys i follow this guide by Devorax to have HDT vagina when wearing armor but some of the armor doesnt have BSDismemberSkinInstance. Can anyone help? Thank you!

 

 

 

Sure! Open up Nifskope, then open the mesh (.nif) file you want to edit. Near the top left of the screen navigate to the line that says NiNode.

 

From there click on NiTriShape of the armor (not the body), then click on BSDismemberSkinInstance. On the bottom left of the screen you'll see a panel called 'Block Details'. Under it, at the very bottom of the list of values, you'll see 'Partitions'. Click that, then click 'Partitions' again, then go to 'Body Part'. Double click that and assign the item slot.

 

Now you need to delete the body that the item has attached to it. Right click on the body's NiTriShape, go to 'Block', the click on 'Remove Branch.' Now in the right screen you should only see a floating piece of clothing. Then save the file.

 

Now in the CK, go to File > Data then load up the mod's .esp and its requirements, as well as Skyrim.esm and Update.esm. Set the mod as the active file. Wait for it all to load, and just hit 'ignore' or 'yes to all' to anything that pops up.

 

Once everything's loaded, go to the left panel of the 'Object Window' and go to the Armor category. On the top left of the Object Window, type into the search box the name of the item you edited in Nifskope. Double click on it when you find it. In the screen that pops up, navigate to the panel that says 'Biped Object' and change its item slot by highlighting the slot you want, and unhighlighting the ones you don't want it to be assigned to.

 

Now go back to the left panel of the screen with the categories, and click on Armor Addon. Search your item and do the same thing. Save the .esp, and you're done.

If it doesn't have BSDismemberSkinInstance then it will have NiSkinInstance instead. Ones that have NiSkinInstance for the armor parts instead of BSDismemberSkinInstance don't use any slots in the nif itself but instead use whatever slots you pick for the armor and armor addon in the .ESP.
