📋 About This Mod

Discrete Female Skeleton

DEPRECATED:

If you want males to use a different skeleton than females, this is the way to go. For example you could use Skeletal Adjustments for CBBE - Knee Fix by SQr17 and ZaZ Extended Skeleton by mastercchris at the same time, but you can use any two skeletons you like.

IMPORTANT- Read first

Now compatible with Outcasts and Remnants

I made this very simple mod because it bothered me that you can't use the mod  Skeletal Adjustments for CBBE - Knee Fix by SQr17 for female characters only and the mod ZaZ-Extended-Skeleton(ZeX) by mastercchris for male characters only. Now you can. This mod makes the gender you are not playing as use another skeleton. This is a simple .esp , but it may not be compatible with mods which modify races, I haven't tested them all.

Installation (Version 2. 1):

This new version uses a method Tri0xin (kudos to him) came up with. Now, the mod should be compatible with most other mods on Nexus. It works by redirecting a skeleton to a different file path rather than renaming it. To install please follow these steps (when updating from 1. 3 please look below):

  • []Pick the right .esp . Use either the FOMOD Installer (recommended) or download the right .esp from the Miscellaneous Files (not recommended).

    []Directly install the skeleton you want your character to use and manually download the other one.

    [](Now, create a folder named NPCAssets in Data\Meshes\actors\character) <--- Already done by the Installer, but you still need to do this --->  and drop the skeleton you don't want your character to use and it's associated files in there.

    []Done!

(for ZeX: skeleton.nif , skeleton.hkx , skeleton_faceBones.nif and skeleton_female_faceBones.nif; for Knee Fix only skeleton.nif)

When Updating to from 1. 3 to 2. 1:

[]Download and install the updated .esp Recommended: Use the Installer (Main File, v2. 1)
