I was having this problem too. Once I put Nifscope as an executable into MO2 and added the paths, it worked. I'll also add, even with the fix, it does not work if I'm opening a nif directly from MO2's 'data' tab. I like the folder view, like the data tab, so I find it easier to go into 'Explore Virtual Folder' and find the nif how many ever folders down from 'meshes'. Plus, it allows me to open multiple instances of nifscope so I can do side by side visual comparisons.
Either way, opening a mesh from nifscope or the virtual folder, it's really nice to see the textures compared to the wireframe. Thanks.
2020 NifSkope can definitively read .dds files now.
To anyone getting here through google nowadays, check your NifSkope version, you might have downloaded a older version linked by a tutorial or some like that. (that's me)
