can someone point me towards this program and perhaps a tutorial PYFFI
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyffi/files/pyffi/
It's been some time since I was installing this so forigve my memory. You need to also install python. I'm using Python 2.6 (I think you need a 32-bit version). I don't remember why this specific version but (you probably guessed it) I think newer versions will have problems with such an old game.
Best way to use it is to create a batch file that will do your job for you e.g.
SET PYTHON=D:\Python26
SET TARGET=%cd%
"%PYTHON%\python.exe" "%PYTHON%/Scripts/niftoaster.py" fix_ffvt3rskinpartition "%TARGET%\character.nif"
pause
In this specific case it is used to add skin partitions for :ffvstr:. "PYTHON" should be set to where you installed Python, in my case it's "D:\Python26".
"fix_ffvt3rskinpartition " is a function used. There are others. You can also create your own when you get the hang of it.
Be careful using PYFFI when using Windows 10. Sometimes it corrupts the character nif. Just from experience. I never had a problem with older windows.
is that the visual memory thing that keep s happening where it wont open a perfectly good mesh?
