I got it to work, In case anyone else runs into this issue: Uninstall Racemenu and Nifmerge Re-download and install Racemenu and Nifmerge (I had the latest versions, but WTH - do it anyway) I went in and made some slight changes using Racemenu too see if it worked. Run thru CTRL+F4, Nifmerge steps, and then the Nifskope steps. Something must have bugged out in my system. Thanks to Petermartyr for tunning me into Nifmerge not being entirely reliable! I never suspected that. Thinking it was me, I spent hours redoing everything. Now I got what I want - I just need to find a hook to hang from it's mouth.
