Werewolf mesh mashup problem

[rocketri]

First of all, I'm just gonna level with everyone and say I generally have no idea what I'm doing. So please be gentle with me, it's my first time.

ANYWAY. I love the work Asjure has done for their Werewolves Redone mod, but I'm also a big fan of Moonlight Tales's skin system (I'm using the Essential version currently). While you can get the MT textures working on Asjure's mesh, the mesh is still WIP iirc and the textures come out looking a bit rough. So I thought, okay, what I really want is the head part of Asjure's mesh, so maybe I can just mash that onto the vanilla werewolf mesh and it'll look great (since the MT textures on the head of the Asjure mesh look fine, it's just the body textures that *censored* it up).

 

So I set off trying to mash these meshes together. I did the whole block-copy+block-paste (using nifskope currently, that's block WereWolfLowHead01) onto the vanilla mesh, all that. I've been reading guides. I've also been saving my edited meshes over one of MT's alternate body mesh slots so they can all play nicely together.

 

The thing is, for a brief moment, I got it working. Asjure's reworked werewolf head + vanilla werewolf body + MT textures, all doing exactly what I wanted. Except I forgot to account for the glowing eyes, and I got greedy. So I did more digging, came back with this edited version of Asjure's mesh with the right eyes, figuring I could just redo what I did before and have everything I wanted.

 

Except then I had to run off to work, and after a busy eight-hour shift and the required sleep after, I cannot remember for the life of me what I did to get it working in the first place. And I've made such a mess of my discarded files, I can't even track down the ones that did work.

 

I know, I know. Stupid of me. But I know this is possible. I could just use some advice from people less bumbling than I.

 

Tl;dr: I want the head from this mesh mod grafted to the vanilla werewolf mesh body. Currently, the head mostly keeps turning invisible in-game. Although recently I did manage to somehow turn the werewolf head into this shiny reflective mess, which was...unsettling. The fixes I've been looking up don't seem to be quite right for the specific meshes I'm working with here.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated. And sorry for my wordiness.
