Right now Characters with non Unique Skin Materials

It already pre covers even the companions that don't have unique skin materials, just in case people want to make unique variations of outfits for them.

• Note they will use the materials of their race until they are made unique

RootTemplate Example use

So these work same way as the races do, in order to use them we first have to tell them we don't want their parentrace showing instead. Using Gale as an example:

Under ParentRace:
                                        <node id="Object">
                                            <attribute id="MapKey" type="guid" value="7b4b07a7-11ec-4091-aeb3-f3fa882c766d" /> //Gale
                                            <attribute id="MapValue" type="guid" value="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" />
                                        </node>

Under Visuals:
<node id="Object">
  <attribute id="MapKey" type="guid" value="7b4b07a7-11ec-4091-aeb3-f3fa882c766d" /> //Gale
  <children>
<node id="MapValue">
<attribute id="Object" type="FixedString" value="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" /> 
</node>
  </children>
</node>
Swapping the 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 uuid on this example with the uuid of the outfit part (add more Mapvalues like normal if you want more than one part)

WAIT!

When using overrides name your skin mesh in blender after the vanilla name so for HUM_M_NKD_Body_A_Mesh it would be that name the .001 at the end doesn't seem to matter.

Also make sure your VisualBank entry for it is also the same naming scheme like below:
                        <node id="Objects">
                            <attribute id="LOD" type="uint8" value="0" />
                            <attribute id="MaterialID" type="FixedString" value="2ca3289b-373a-3d75-ea33-8356268cb37f" />
                            <attribute id="ObjectID" type="FixedString" value="HUM_M_NKD_Body_A.HUM_M_NKD_Body_A_Mesh.0" />
                        </node>

Making sure the MaterialID is pointing to the NPC's body material. The above is Gale.
