Skyrim Modding Tutorial: Change armor type

I felt I needed to put this out there, since many people in the comments on armor mods ask for light/heavy versions of their favorite armor mods. Now instead of harassing the mod authors, myself and others can just link them this video so that they can create the light/heavy version themselves!

Thanks for this. The Creation Kit can be a bit overwhelming to navigate when you're not used to working with it, so having this available made things a lot easier.

Unfort, the armor Im trying to edit doesnt have the same edit interface. The mod is BHUNP ronin, and it doesnt have the weight and other features when I attempt to edit.

the armor isn't showing anywhere, I only got warnings "used invalid biped object slot 45 for race 'defaultrace'" so what does that mean ? I can't edit it because it's an invalid number ?

Thank you so so much! I can't believe I spent 2 hours converting an armor mod lmao

I tried this turning light armor into clothing and am using MO2. I don't know if things have changed but the esp wasn't in the data folder after the edits. The only things in my data folder were CC mods that came from Anniversary edition. I have a folder named back-ups and there was an esp in there but I'm pretty sure that is the back-up esp without edits.

How do you save the plugin when editing vanilla items?

Hi! I'm using vortex instead of NMM or MO. Is there any differences I should know about before messing with this?

Is it possible to keep the original type and keep the new one too? I want to have the same armor as Heavy and Light.

Can't seem to get it to change the armor type in game... I'm trying to convert Adept Dust Armor to heavy armor, and this simply isn't working for me. I've reinstalled the mod, like 4 times and nothing. Any suggestions?
