    Default HOW DO YOU EDIT [VARIANTMESHDEFINITION] FILES???

    So I notice some new armor mods coming out that modify existing VariantMeshDefinition files. I tried to open them with the latest Pack File Manager (3.0.2) but it doesn't allow me to edit them and there is only a blank screen. How do they modders edit the VMD files??

    Thanks

    Extract, edit, repack.

    They are basically text files with xml formatting.

    You can also right click, the Open->Open as text, but that will only give you the most basic text editor ever.

    There is also the sticky that explains how/what/why to edit them. Cheers!
