📋 About This Mod
BnB BodyExtender Compatability Skeleton 1. 20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This skeleton combines the bones from the BnB skeleton and the Body extender skeletons and now also includes facial animations from FAFF and Alex Scorpion\'s NVG goggles support. See links below. I have obtained permission to use the BnB skeleton in a compatability skeleton release. The Body Extender skeleton is \"use with credit\" permissions. FAFF is free to use permissions. I followed Alex Scorpion\'s request for permission and according to his policy, if he did not get back to me in 2 weeks I was free to go ahead. He did not respond and I gave him much more than 2 weeks. I will, of course, remove support for his mod upon request. Full credits can be found at the bottom of this description. Original Mods: BnB = http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35047 BE = http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=41793 FAFF = http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6709 NV FAFF = http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=43386 AS NVG = http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=36617 What this skeleton does is combine all the bones from both skeletons into one compatability skeleton that allows you to use either body and either sets of animations in the same install without having to swap skeletons in and out. This is a modder\'s resource for two reasons: 1. It will require a modder\'s support to enable multiple body switching. 2. This mod assumes you know how skeletons, body meshes and animations function at the core level. The file includes the following: Data\\Meshes\\Characters\\_male\\skeleton.nif Data\\Meshes\\Characters\\_1stperson\\skeleton.nif When installing this skeleton, PLEASE make a backup of your original skeleton.nif files in BOTH locations, _male and _1stperson. In case you didn\'t see that... When installing this skeleton, PLEASE make a backup of your original skeleton.nif files in BOTH locations, _male and _1stperson.
