SSE Help with Swapping the Equipment slot of Armor

[skyrimlover1212]

Hi, I'm inexperianced with modding, and I'd appreciate help/advice with my current project.

I Love the Dark Envoy Armor Mod, And I love the Dwemer Modular Automation Mod. However, The Dark Envoy Mask uses the same equipment slot as the DMA Pelvis items (Slot 49 according to the CK). Therefore, to minimize potential conflicts, my plan is to swap the Dark Envoy Mask's equipment slot (49) with the Dark Envoy's Arm Armor Equipment Slot (47) (Because I like useing that mask with my Cyborgs).

I Swapped their Slot numbers (Arm armor is now 49, and Mask is 47) and when I went in game, the Arm armor item was unequipped when I equipped the pelvis (yeah!) but the mask was also removed (Boo) To be clear, The Mask Item was still equipped, but the mask visual vanished from my characters face. And unequipping the mask item also caused the mask visual to vanish, so I think that's still working properly. But what went wrong with the Arm Armor? Why did it make the mask visual vanish?

1. You change the slot in the Armor form of the mask.

2. You open the ArmorAddon form referenced by the Mask Armor form, and you change the slot there as well.

3. Now looks like mesh files for it are Data\meshes\NewerMind43\DarkEnvoy\Mask_0.nif and Mask_1.nif

Open Outfit Studio, File-Import-From NIF - browse to and open Mask_0.nif

In upper-right click the 'Mask' mesh, above it select 'Partitions' tab. In dropdown next to 'Type', select 47 instead of 49, click Apply.

File-Export-To NIF, click to overwrite Mask_0.nif.

Now, do exactly the same for Mask_1.nif.
