I'm attempting to make more Wild Wasteland encounters and without giving much away, I want to make a unique name for a skeleton, like in the title and description. But it won't let me paste

clutter\skeleton\skeletonmale50scasual.nif

for the model name whenever I try to make a unique movable static...

If you understood any of this, could you lend any advice? Thanks in advance.

You'll want to use something like FOMM or NVMM to unpack that .nif so you can select it from the model selection.

Is there a reason you're not just duplicating the original skeleton though?

You have to extract that skeleton from the .bsa file and select it from the GECK. You can't just write out (or paste) the model path information - you need to browse to it and select it from the edit model dialogue.

Alternatively, make a new copy of that skeleton's movable static by changing the base ID of the static in the GECK and saving it as a new form. Much easier.

:facepalm: I forgot it automatically makes a new form if you change the ID. Thanks guys.
