SSE NiSkinInstance is missing a skeleton root node. This is a fatal error.

I'm attempting to create a follower with a standalone body that has a custom addon. However, when I try to load the naked torso this error shows up. I have also tried adding the custom addon as a separate armor addon and including with the feet, hands and torso ArmorAddons, but the error still persists. I have had the most success with the merged body, but the textures of the addon are copied from the body itself and not its own standalone textures causing an ugly texture mismatch.

Open the mesh in NifSkope (the meshes\actors\character\vaginaless body\femalebody_1.nif mentioned there).

Under the BSTriShape for the body, highlight the NiSkinInstance block.

In Block Details, look for Skeleton Root (3rd line down from the top of the list) - make sure the value is pointing to 0 Scene Root (just enter 0 and enter).

 

Very Important: Do the same for the femalebody_0.nif
