Hello,

I am new to modding and I have only a very basic knowledge of the creation kit.

I am wondering what is the best way to go about replacing a texture on a character. Specifically, I want to replace all the outfits of Whiterun Guards with a custom texture. Is the best way to do this to:

i) replace the 'ArmorGuardCuirassWhiterun' and literally substitute this texture for a custom one, or to

ii) manually edit the various guard NPC's and change their default outfits

Also, I am unsure as how to import custom textures to the Creation Kit (if it is even possible)

If anyone could help me with this issue, or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!
