How to make it compatible with armor model

It can be used with any gauntlet, as well as with modified beasts, as they usually replicate the armor mesh of Khajiits and Argonians.

You need to create a kit and Nifskope for this.

• First find the modified armor folder and make sure there is no beast race version.

If not, copy the human glove.

Examples: gauntletsm_0, gauntletsm_1, gauntletsf_0, gauntletsf_1 and the first person version.

In case you're wondering, _0 is the lightest body slider and _1 is the heaviest body slider.

And add the name of "the beast" before the underscore.

If a beast version already exists, step 3 is not required.

But I recommend deleting these files and doing it manually instead, as you can get caught between the old and new claws.

• Open the niscope and insert the modified glove. Open nifskope again and load Better Claws Hands.

On the beast's hand model, click "ninode", enter txt and name it another file.

Select the claw, right-click, block, and click "Copy Branch". Then open the glove loop window, right click and "Paste Branch".

You have to do the same for the _0 and _1 files. Then raise your other hand and repeat the entire process.

The process is different for the first person version using the correct manual version.

• Open the Creation Kit, load the Armor Mod and set it to active.

Search for the glove you want to repair and open the entry ending in "AA."

Deselect Argonian and Khajiit in the match list. Click OK, then right click and copy it, adding "Arg" after AA.

Turn it on. Set "ArgonianRace" at the top and select only the Argonian/Argonian vampire race. Then the male, female and first person versions of their gloves end in _1.

Set Skin Texture to SkinHandMaleArgonian and SkinHandFemaleArgonian.

Click OK, copy the ArmorAddon again, and repeat the same process for the Khajiits.

Now open the modified gauntlet entry that doesn't end in AA, click Show All, then drag and drop the Beast Race build you just created into that tab.

Save now and that's it!

Ever noticed that the beast races don't have proper claws, just long fingernails?
