Where are the NIF and dds files

When I try to create a new weapon or armor piece in the CS, it asks me to fill in a NIF and dds file name. When I click on the box to find these files, I can't find them. Are they already stored somewhere, or do I need to do something else?

There should be a file under "Local Disk (c:)" named OblivionData. The NIF files should be there in the file called Meshes. I personally find it easyer to duplicate existing files instead, and change the data around. To do this you just change the Editor ID, then after you are finished and have pressed the OK button a screen should pop up that says "You have changed the form's Editor ID. Create new Form?" If you press yes than a new item is created and the old one remains the same.

They are in something called a BSA file. They're like .zip files, but there are very few ways to extract them. I'd recommend using BSA Commander. The BSA files are in the Oblivion/Data folder. Oh, and just Google BSA Commander! Hope this works!LordJyggalag07 14:54, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
