I can't add my own custom stuff

[KelenStardragon]

So, I've got a really annoying problem with the TES CS. For some reason, when I create an NPC using a custom race (in this instance, the Lineage Elves) the game crashes as soon as I walk into the area where that NPC is. For that matter, the same thing happened when I tried it with the Deep Elf mod.

And also, for some reason when I try to add custom hair sets to a custom race (for example, I tried to add all of the hairs from the Deep Elves to the Lineage Elves) it causes not only the hairs I added, but also the other custom hair sets that already came with that race, to just disappear, and the only ones that stay are the vanilla hairstyles.

And then, last of all, sometimes when I try to add custom items to an npc, the items aren't there in the game. Like, completely gone. I can still get them from wherever the modder originally placed those items, but I can't add them on my own. No matter what I try, they just pretty much dissappear ingame. I must have missed something when I was figuring out how to use the CS, cuz I can't get any of my own modifications to work. Anyone willing to help a budding modder out here? I'm starting to learn how to make my own models, but I'd like to clear these issues up first so they don't prove to be a problem later on and cause me to destroy my computer in frustration. thanks. :)

Oh wait, is there a way to block mods? Is that why I can't modify any of them for myself?

You can't use items from other mods in that way to create your own.. Read this.

If you want to add things from other mods, you'd either have to appoint new items to them or follow that tutorial and link to them.
