[]Take a new standalone creature Companion "Nix" with you on your journey
[
]12 different skins to choose fromYou can find Nix in Akila City at Honest Earl's Alien Extravaganza.
Talk to him and he will gladly join you as a Companion. He doesn't take a crew slot and he has very basic functionality.
Comes with his own custom sounds (WARNING: cute af)
Nix comes with a total of 12 different skins to choose from.
To change his skin, you first have to get his cosmetic gun. You can find it in his inventory.
Equip the gun and shoot at him. This wont hurt him, don't worry. Instead, just wait 1sec, talk to him and choose the option to open his inventory. You will now be able to make him equip one of the skins he has in his inventory. Dont put them in your own inventory, just leave them.
After about 15 seconds, he returns to his normal state and you cant make him equip one of his skins anymore. If you want to change his skin once more, just shoot at him again and repeat the procedure.
You can choose between 3 different colors (standard, boonta and dathomir) as well as 3 different accessoires (dust goggle, infiltrator goggle, cybernetic transplant) or none.
Installation:
Use a mod manager or extract the zip file in your Game Data folder and dont forget to activate the esm.
If you are using the loose files version and encounter black textures, also extract the texture folder to your MyGames/Starfield/Data folder.
