lol ye it has a description that says its in the files xD

heres a copy and paste of the notepad for ye just in case you actually cant read

1. Put extracted 'materials' & 'models' folders into you vampire folder

2. Open clandoc000.txt file with any text editor. It is located at /vdata/sysem/clandoc000.txt
(if you are using unnoficial patch, path will be:
/unnoficial_patch/vdata/sysem/clandoc000.txt )

3. Once opened, scroll clandoc000.txt from the top until you see lines that look like the ones shown below.

4. Replace the lines for <clan/gender> that you are willing to use. For example, lets use toreador female as an example:

----------- REPLACE THIS:

"F_Body0" "models/character/pc/female/toreador/armor0/toreador_Female_Armor_0.mdl"
"F_Body1" "models/character/pc/female/toreador/armor1/toreador_Female_Armor_1.mdl"
"F_Body2" "models/character/pc/female/toreador/armor2/toreador_Female_Armor_2.mdl"
"F_Body3" "models/character/pc/female/toreador/armor3/toreador_Female_Armor_3.mdl"
"F_Body4" "models/character/pc/female/toreador/armor3/toreador_Female_Armor_3.mdl"
"F_Body5" "models/character/pc/female/toreador/armor3/toreador_Female_Armor_3.mdl"

----------- WITH THIS:

"F_Body0" "models/character/pc/female/darkvvPC/armor0/Malkavian_Female_Armor_0.mdl"
"F_Body1" "models/character/pc/female/darkvvPC/armor1/Malk_girl_Armor_1.mdl"
"F_Body2" "models/character/pc/female/darkvvPC/armor2/Malk_girl_Armor_2.mdl"
"F_Body3" "models/character/pc/female/darkvvPC/armor3/Malk_girl_Armor_3.mdl"
"F_Body4" "models/character/pc/female/darkvvPC/armor4/Malk_girl_Armor_4.mdl"
"F_Body5" "models/character/pc/female/darkvvPC/armor3/Malk_girl_Armor_3.mdl"

------------

5. Inventory images:

To install them, place folder "hud" from "INVENTORY_IMAGES" into "materials" folder

! NOTE that by default those images are for toreador f. However, you can rename files of those images for any other clan and it will work.

i did it. but it didn't work.

did you do the extra step if yousing the patch? also make sure your launching the game through whatever mod your playing. if your yousing the clan quest mod im fairly sure you also have to put its folder if you yous that. look around for shortcuts made bye the mod. honestly just go through the files and look around man chances are you wont break anything. everyskins has there own folder so make sure to pic the right one

[R.I.P]

"1. Put extracted 'materials' & 'models' folders into you vampire folder".....

(Make sure that the folders "merged" with the original folders/files of the same name, that were already present (if any). You don't want the materials and models folders from the mod files, to be inside of any existing materials or models folder.)


"4. Replace the lines for <clan/gender> that you are willing to use. For example, lets use toreador female as an example:

----------- REPLACE THIS:".....

(Replace the relevant lines/entries, for the clan that you're currently playing. If Malkavian, replace these:)

"F_Body0" "models/character/pc/female/malkavian/armor0/Malkavian_Female_Armor_0.mdl"
"F_Body1" "models/character/pc/female/malkavian/armor1/Malk_girl_Armor_1.mdl"
"F_Body2" "models/character/pc/female/malkavian/armor2/Malk_girl_Armor_2.mdl"
"F_Body3" "models/character/pc/female/malkavian/armor3/Malk_girl_Armor_3.mdl"
"F_Body4" "models/character/pc/female/malkavian/armor3/Malk_girl_Armor_3.mdl"
"F_Body5" "models/character/pc/female/malkavian/armor3/Malk_girl_Armor_3.mdl"

If using the unofficial patch, and you get it mostly working, but anything looks "off" about the character, I recommend merging/adding the mod's materials/models files/folders, into the "Unofficial_Patch" folder, that you should be able to locate inside the main game Bloodlines folder.

EDIT:
You should probably be editing the clandoc file from there as well...
