Ok, I'm making a small mod which has to do with Jagi from Canderous' sidequest. I need to equip him with a custom armor I made, so I started by looking for any "Jagi" files. Then I realized he uses a generic NPC head, so he has no individual files for himself. So, I'm wondering, how do I go about altering his appearance? I know its very possible, (i.e. Sherruk the mando) but I'm pretty new to all this so I have no idea of how to go about doing it.

Rename the model, and skin of the head, then enter the file names in the appearance.2da line for him.

My problem is he doesn't have his own appearance.2da line. How do I alter him without also altering the other NPC's who use his head?

Once you rename the model and skin for his head, you can create his own 2da line. It seems like a daunting task, but it is really just pluggin in names and numbers. You should read some of the tutorials in the 2DA section here for help.

Ah, I didn't even realize you could make a new line. Thank you JM

once you've made a new line in the appearance.2da, you'll have to make a new .utc file that uses that appearance line, and equip it with your chosen armour. I'm not sure, though, how to change the module so that it uses your custom .utc, so you might have to search for a tutorial for that.
