Creating a new NPC creature, skeleton linking? : Fallout: New Vegas

Mornin' all!

I've had a scour around the wiki and the forum but couldn't find the answer!

I'm trying to make a new friendly/talking supermutant NPC. I've made it all up, loaded supermutantrBodyPartData but I can't link the skeleton.nif so my creature has no corporial form!!!

Any help would be fantastic!

First off do not mess with the BPD as all that does is define which Ragdoll data to use and individual body parts it DOES NOT define what skeleton.nif to use nor does it define AI.

All you need to do is open an SM record the one you want to use and rename its ID to something else and save it when asked if you want to make a new entry do so and from there you can change AI, Weapons, Items and whatever else you want to change.

AHAH! Didnt realise it prompted like that if you renamed one! Thanks
