You open 'Bus Stop 02 S36' in nifskope. Expand the 'NiNodes' list and select '79NiTriShape'. (Bus windows are 74 NiTriShape btw) Right-click it and hover over 'Node', then select 'Attach Property'. A list pops up that lets you select 'NiAlphaProperty'. This enables the surfaces/meshes transparency. Now i usually use Gimp with a *.dds plugin to give the texture an alpha-layer and make it a bit transparent (or choose a different texture)
"Thanks to both of you for teaching me how to make complete textures transparent. I already knew how to do it for other kinds like leaves, fire, decals, but apparently this opacity thing was a separate form of transparency with its own procedure. I've uploaded the updates and left a thank you note in the description."
You're very welcome ! Sharing some knowledge for sharing some meshes seems pretty fair, hehe... that's what communitites are ( or should be) for. In the end it helps us all because we get ''better'' mods in one way or another, yayy !!

Bus window needs another texture to look like as well a see-through window.
"I'd be curios as to how you did so, and what it looks like."

The bus stop will look like this (NifSkope screenshot):
The Modern Scrolls mod has a nice bus:

"Well put. Very big fan of cathedral modding."
