Adjusting the dismemberment data
Armour Addon properties
Armour properties

In Skyrim you need to set the body slot used by a piece or armour in two places:

  • In the Dismemberment data of the nif file
  • In the Armor addon and Armor items in the Creation Kit

IMPORTANT: The body slot you set in the nif file and in the CK must be the same, or your armour will be invisible in game.

Setting the body slot in the nif file

  1. Load the mesh into NifSkope
  2. Select the BSDismemberSkinInstance node of one of the NiTriShape nodes of your armour as shown in picture Adjusting the dismemberment data.
  3. In the Block details section expand the Partitions property.
  4. Expand the second Partitions property.
    1. Make sure that the Part Flag property has bloth flags selected: PF_EDITOR_VISIBLE and PF_START_NET_BONESET. If not, double click and select both flags from the drop down list.
    2. The Body Part property will contain one or more of the body parts ypu've created in Blender (BP_TORSO, BP_LEFTLEG or BP_RIGHTARM). Double click on these values and change them to:
    3. From BP_TORSO to 32
    4. From BP_RIGHTARM to 34
    5. From BP_LEFTLEG to 37
  5. Repeat this steps for all the BSDismemberSkinInstance nodes of all the NiTriShape nodes of your armour.
  6. Save the nif file.

Setting the body slot in the CK

  1. Load the esp file containing your armour in the CK
  2. Set the body slot in the Armor addon:
    1. Find the armour addon you want to modify and double click on it to open the screen showing its properties.
    2. Set the Biped Object for the Armor addon: the selected objects in this list are the dismemberment parts that form your armour. For armour covering the body you usually will select 32-Body, 34-Forearms and 38-Calves. For boots, you will select 37-Feet. Note that the number before the name is the same number you wrote in the Skin partition nodes of the nif file.
  3. Set the body slot in the Armor:
    1. Find the armour you want to modify and double click on it to open the screen showing its properties.
    2. Set the Biped Object for the Armor: the slot used by your armour when equipped.
