BSA Unpacking, Modifying, and Repacking

[jeremy89878987]

Hey, I've been trying to modify the vanilla Skyrim dragon meshes in its Skyrim-Meshes.BSA. Is there a way to add the modified mesh back to the BSA without creating a new archive?

You could just use the files you modified as loose files. Just set up the folders for the dragons files that you modified and drop them into your game folder. When you load your game loose files always load first followed by BSA files which will then change the dragons to however you modified them.

Actually "loose files" have precedence over files included in BSA archives.

But I am pretty sure @myuhinny was thinking the same thing.
