How to assign body mash

Post by **rockitten** » Fri Feb 28, 2014 6:13 am

Hi all,

As we are playing TTW, there are now so many companions that I somewhat feel weird that they all have the same body. And therefore, an interesting idea comes out: how about I assign different body mesh (type3,6, body by race, musel girl....etc) on different vanilla characters so Sydney get an Asian body, Cass got a bigger rack than Veronica an so on....

I know some companion mod like willow does that, but how can I do that for Vanilla characters?

Thanks alot!

Go into GECK or FNVedit and change their mesh/texture paths for their respective races.

For vanilla characters you'd have to get them their own custom race.

Thanks! As a newbe for modding, GECK and FNVEDIT, which one is better for small project like this or converting FO3 mods for TTW?

You are going to want to be familiar with the GECK before you start using FNVEdit. There is very little that can be done in FNVEdit that can't be done in the GECK.

Converting FO3 mods is one that must be done in FNVEdit, find a guide for that here.

Scripting can only be done in the GECK.

Once you learn FNVEdit well, it is quicker to do things in FNVEdit than it is in the GECK, most of the time.

For creating a new race and assigning a body mesh, you definitely want to go with the GECK.

This mod gives each race it's own body mesh. I think this is what you're looking for, isn't it?

Thanks!

I know body by race, but first, it is not compatible with some mods I am using, and second, my idea is to assign a different body to several vanilla companion, so thhat body by race won't solve the problem......
