Now you see a list of all the armor sets in the game. You can click on one set, say "Glass" or "Daedric," in the left-hand pane and it will show you all the pieces in just that set in the right-hand one. | Now you see a list of all the armor sets in the game.

Choose a shield that has the kind of stats you want. Glass and Daedric are very popular because they are the best light and heavy armor in the game. Don't choose one that says "arena" anywhere in the ID, because those have scripts on them that you don't want to mess with. Double click the shield of your choice to bring up its information. Click on the name of the nif (say, glass/shield.nif). A little window will pop up with the data directory in it. Click through until you find your own new shield mesh. Click on that and click "OK". Your shield mesh name should now appear in the window. You'll need to do the same with a new icon, which you can learn to make here: [[http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/ | Choose a shield that has the kind of stats you want.

Now this part is very important. You need to change the ID of the new shield, not just the name. The ID is above the name and looks something like "WeaponGlassLongsword" or "GlasShield". You must change this to a new ID such as "Mynewshield," or you will replace every glass shield in the game with yours. Be sure and give it a unique name, too, so that everyone knows what an amazing shield you've made. | Now this part is very important. You need to change the ID of the new shield, not just the name.
