I used this as a guide for what I thought would be a relatively simple task. I really liked the way my character looked as a spirit (spirit glow, white hair, etc) and wanted to be like that the entire game. I copied the "dead" character model in the appearance file like this said but my character ended up only having the glow (hair, eye color, etc unchanged). Then I used the RIM editor and looked at cave1 (I'm assuming this is the 1st area of the spirit realm you wake up in) and noticed there were some things called v_dead so I extracted those from a# & a#-a and added them to the area my save was at (spirit cave). Now the game crashes.

I'm assuming my mistake was putting ALL the extracted data into BOTH RIM files for the spirit cave (duplicates) but was I even on the right path? And is there an easier, less tedious way to do this? If I did just have to separate them properly for it to work does that mean I would have to add the v_dead... stuff for every single area in the game? The idea SEEMS simple but is there more to it?

P.S. I have absolutely NO modding experience. This is my first mod attempt EVER
