Hello,

though I'm new here, I did several mods for Oblivion years ago, custom armor included. Now I want to create a new set of plate armor for Skyrim. I've looked into some tutorials on youtube and it seems that the tools - Niftools Max plugin, Nifskope - are still the same whereas some things seem to be a little different. armor_0 and armor_1 for the weight sliders, for instance.

What I want to ask: are there any other things I have to think about? Things that have to be done differently than we're used to from Oblivion?

I've imported both the 0 and 1 male body meshes into Max and morphed them to 0.5 to get the average standard sized body which I want to use as a template for my armor. Is this the right thing to do or do you usually start with the small 0 body?
