SCK Skin Textures

[casumin]

So I'm having a go at creating my own follower. So far I am essentially done and everything is working.

 

However. I have made a different set of skin textures (.dds) for my new companion but I'm not sure how to add them to my companion in SCK. I have looked around but nothing quite answers my question.

 

Any help/tips from you knowledgeable people would be most appreciated!

 

(optional) If you could help me get my coolsims hair to work in SCK that would be a bonus. I have indeed looked online and tried most solutions to no avail.

 

Cheers!

Hello casumin.

You're tryin' to add a new color for one armour without replacing the original one. is that?

Cause, for what i know, you'll need to make a copy of that armor(the nif files for cuirass.gauntlets , boots and helmet) and change the textures path to the folder you have the new textures.Rename them for ex: custom cuirass, custom helmet etc.

Than go to CK search for the armor you had used as base and make a copy of those(cuirass.gauntlets , boots and helmet) and change the model path to those you copied and renamed.After that save it as a new esp file and it's done.

Oh no no... It's for an NPC's skin tone. I have made a new texture specifically for her with tattoos. Looking to find out how I can apply those to her body alone not armor. Thank you for your reply all the same.

 

Would this method work for that use? I know how to change the skin overall for all characters as a replacer. But how do I apply it just to my custom NPC?

Oh i got it!!!

But i think it should work for what you wanna do.

Cause for use a custom texture without replacing one, you'd need the same model but with different name(hexed) as we do for weapons,armors.You'd just need to find what files your npc is using as base i think.

Yeah I've done everything as you suggested. The problem I'm having now is I can't find the textures in CK. It's like it's not registering them at all so I can't begin applying them to the npc or custom races! >.<
