So I tried posting this on steam forums and got 0 help so maybe you guys can do better, the problem has not changed so I'm just going to copy and paste what the text was. When I click to change the model of an object(keep in mind I am using ONLY vanilla object models, nothing new is added) it goes to the skyrim data directory but there is no .NIF files there. Even pasting the name of the original model into the file bar gives the error. I do not know what happened, I have uninstalled and reinstalled creation kit and this perstists. What SHOULD happen is something like this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=h13b7vGVXtA#t=22m10s it is at 22:10 around when he changes the model. What DOES happen is this: http://imgur.com/vYylozN This is an example of the error I get when doing the exact same actions as the person in the video. What I think might have happened is that I mistyped the model name the first time and the file menu (instead of defaulting to the place where there are all the .NIF files) shot me back to "my documents". I am no longer able to navigate back to that original "folder" that contains the .NIF files, I believe that it is a single file "meshes.bsa". I saw a solution of unpacking meshes.bsa, but that sounds a bit ridiculous just to change the model of one vanilla item to another. I haven't tried it on a different computer but I might have to as this is really impeding my progress. Thanks for any help

Nevermind, i fixed it! Thanks so much for your help, i couldn't of done it without you. I might need your help in the future with weapon animation, but for now i think i can handle myself.

Sorry about the image, i didnt know it was like that. Anyway, about the BSLightingShaderProperty, in the "type" area, i cant change it to what you ahve in the picture, "textclampmode" and "skyrimshader" how do i do this?

I was referring tot he picture, but i can give you the file if you want me to. I realize that, but you are able to zoom in on it at least. I did make the resolution high enough so it is readable. Anyway here's the file http://www.mediafire.com/?qm0ig0l476e9bln

So I am currently trying to create a mod, a rather complex one at that. But the first thing I must learn is how to make weapons, mostly because my mod involves a coconut. so I made the coconut a re-skin of the iron sword, it works like a sword and slashes like a sword, but it has no textures. I've done what one of the more popular tutorials said, it got my coconut into the game. But when i loaded the game, the coconut has a purpleish non descript color to it, even when i seemed to have put the textures in the right place and they seem to work in the NIFSKOPE editor. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I will include pictures of the glitch and the set up, i understand the text may be small, so I ask that you download it if you can not read. http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z466/MRHANKY2000/glitch1.png PS: I am not entirely new to modding (Ive worked with WC3 and SC2, but Skyrim is a little different.) it just seems as though Skyrim hasn't "clicked" yet.
