But seriously, this mod lets you store supplies in a “stash” chest that you can access from numerous points on the map. There is a crate at every in as well as at each market and a few other spots.

Overview

I hear ya about more male options, I spend more time looking for some (any really) nice looking make armor and mods in federal. Someone pointed me in the direction the other day of TERA armor for skyrim. I don't have the link anymore. They are pretty awesome if you don't mind more fantasy looking stuff.
This chest involves taking advantage of a glitch, so be prepared to break Skyrim a little bit to get it. Enter Whiterun, then when you’re at the gate turn right, and then right again to head.

This tutorial shows all the main steps you need to follow to create an armour or an outfit from scratch for Skyrim. If you only want to change the textures of an existing piece of clothing or change its properties and bonus, just skip the first part of the tutorial. If you want to adapt existing armours or outfits to other bodies you will have to follow the steps explained here, except that you won't have to create the mesh (but you may probably have to adapt it to the new body), the textures or the UV maps.

Currently the tools used for modelling are not completely adapted for Skyrim, there are some steps that require some manual adjustments. This will surely change in the future months and this tutorial will be updated when required.

Required tools

Blender: latest Nifscripts version.
Nifskope: latest NifSkope version.
Creation Kit: available on Steam (Menu option View -> Tools and then select Creation Kit)
Optional but highly recommended: Growlfs TES5 Blender Animation Chain

Creating an armour for Skyrim

The main steps to create a custom armour or outfit for Skyrim are: Gz 1002b e3 air conditioner remote control manual.

Creating the armour:
1. Create the _0.nif armour mesh:
  1. Import into Blender all parts of the _0.nif body
  2. Make the armour's shape
  3. Add a material
  4. Add a UVmap
  5. Create the textures and the normal maps in GIMP
  6. Reduce the amount of polygons of the mesh
  7. Add weights to the armour
  8. Cut parts of the body hidden by the armour
  9. Export the armour
  10. Adjust the armor in Nifskope
  11. Add the armour to the game
  12. Adjust the armour after testing it in game
2. Create the _1.nif armour mesh:
  1. Import into Blender all parts of the _1.nif body
  2. Adjust the _0.nif armour shape
  3. Export the armour
  4. Adjust the armor in Nifskope
  5. Add the armour to the game
  6. Adjust the armour after testing it in game

Skyrim armour/clothing meshes

Skyrim armour/clothing meshes and character weight

Skyrim has introduced a new feature for characters: the weight slider. You can set the weight of characters or NPCs from 0% (the weight slider is completely to the left) to 100% (the slider is completely to the right). The changes in the shape of the character are managed using 2 mesh files for each armour/piece of clothing (this also applies to the meshes that contain parts of the body):

With 0% weight, the game uses the _0.nif
With 100% weight, the game uses the _1.nif
With any intermediate weight, the game combines the _0.nif and the _1.nif

An example of this is shown in picture Skyrim armour/clothing meshes and character weight.

This means that you will have to create two meshes for each of the armours/pieces of cloth instead of only one. In this tutorial we are going to create first the _0.nif armour and once it is finished we will adapt it to the _1.nif body

When creating an outfit or an armour first thing is to decide what body you want to make the clothes for. If you want to create an armour that fits several bodies (male and female, for example) you will have to create different armours for each body.

That is why the first step is to import into Blender all the parts of the body you want to work with. The nif files that contain the body meshes are in the folder DataMeshesactorscharactercharacter assets.

Note: The meshes and textures of the game are inside compressed files with BSA format. To extract then you can use SripterRon's FO3 Archive Utility.

If you are going to create the armour for a male, you'll have to import the following body parts:

malebody_0.nif: In Skyrim this nif file contains the torso, arms and legs.
malehands_0.nif: If you want to create gloves for your armour, import this mesh that contains the hands.
malefeet_0.nif: If you want to create gloves for your armour, import this mesh that contains the hands.

If you are going to create the armour for a female, you'll have to import the following body parts:

femalebody_0.nif: In Skyrim this nif file contains the torso, arms and legs.
femalehands_0.nif: If you want to create gloves for your armour, import this mesh that contains the hands.
femalefeet_0.nif: If you want to create gloves for your armour, import this mesh that contains the hands.

If you want to create a helmet, a hat or earrings, you'll have to import the head meshes that are in the folder DataMeshesactorscharactercharacter assets:

malehead.nif: head mesh for male characters
femalehead.nif: head mesh for female characters

There is only one mesh for the head as it is not affected by the weight slider.

As Blender has not yet been fully adapted to Skyrim, to be able to import the nif files into it you have to change some properties in NifSkope. Do the following:

Open the body you are going to work on in NifSkope (in the example, we are using femalebody_0.nif)
First step is to edit the NiHeader settings:
1. In the Block details section, expand the NiHeader property as shown in picture Editting the NiHeader in NifSkope
2. You'll see that the User version property has a value of 12. Double click on the 12 and then change it to 11.
3. Then go to the User version 2 property, that has a value of 83. Double click on the 83 and then change it to 34.
Next step is to delete the BSLightingShaderProperty:
1. Expand the NiTriShape node as shown in picture Deleting the BSLightingShaderProperty
2. Select the BSLightingShaderProperty node and press Ctrl+Del or right click and select the menu option Block -> Remove Branch
3. Do this for all the NiTriShape nodes the mesh has (if it has more than one)
Save the modified nif file. This modified nif is the one you will be importing into Blender.

Repeat these steps for all the Skyrim meshes you need to import into Blender.

Now you can import the body parts into Blender. To do that use the menu option File -> Import -> Netimmerse/Gamebyro (.nif). If you cannot find that option it is because you haven't installed NifScripts. Follow the instructions given here: Installation of Blender to install everything you need.

Note: I am experiencing now a weird issue when importing nif files into Blender: after importing them I don't see anything in the Blender window. To see the meshes I do the following:
