I've seen guides, oh I've seen guides...

Is it possible to tell me the basics of the model viewer while keeping it retarded simple? It all started when I simply wanted to change my hairstyle. I dl'd the model viewer and opened it up. Then I of course saw the screen where it shows you the model and all the bars to the right to switch out that part of the body. What I need to know, is how do I take my created character on the viewer, and make that my playable character in the game? Please, please, oh please enlighten me. I don't want to alter it, I don't want to open up photoshop and paint on it I just want to take the model from the viewer and place it onto my main character. Can someone help?

you can't just take something from the viewer and plop it on your character. only certain things can be DAT swapped: heads, armors, weapons, shield. races and sexes cannot be changed by just DAT swapping.

I would recommend you look at a program called Wardrobe (you'll have to google it, the link is to a prohibited --windower-- site). it'll let you change things more easily.
