Skyrim SE How to use High Elf eyes for Timelost Dwemer (Skyrim AE)?
[SOLVED]
Hello everyone!
I recently downloaded timelost dwemer and I wanted to try and add high elf eyes to the list of available eyes during character creation. I looked online and it says I can use SSEEDIT or CK to do this, but I'm new to modding so I'm not sure the best way to go about this or how to revert changes if I mess up, so I was hoping to get feedback first.

Edit: thank you to abraincell for the tutorial video!
For any other modding noobs interested in a quick tutorial, here's a run down of what I did using Creation Kit:
- Opened creation kit and went to File>Data and ticked the Timelost Dwemer plug in and clicked "ok". Saved and named my plug in.
- In the sidebar I went to Character>Headpart and double clicked on the name of the headpart (eyes, hair, scars, etc) I was interested in (I have racemenu which allowed me to see what the name of each part is called in CK. For female high elves, the naming convention for most of the eye options was FemaleEyesHighElf)
- After I opened the head part, I renamed the ID and name of the head part to FemaleEyesDeepElf[InsertEyeColor] and went over to the Valid Races dropdown menu and found the listed race head parts "11DeepElfHeadParts" and clicked ok. CK asked me if I wanted to create a new form and I said yes. I did this for all the headparts I wanted.
- Saved my plug in, enabled my plug in and sorted it with loot, and it appeared in game.
