Everything was going smoothly until I added the knee pads from the Thieves Guild set onto my armor. I test in-game every step of the way and had no complications beforehand. The problem is alleviated when I delete them, so i know they're the culprit or involved with the issue. I did edit the Mesh, UV map and texture set, but I don't understand how that would cause a crash. NVM, I am dumb... For posterity's sake: don't forget to change a mesh's Skyrim Shader Type from Default to Environmental map in Nifskope when adding Env maps.
