Did you extract the normal map file from the BSA archive as well?

 

Both are needed for the new texture to show up ingame, try look for pants1_n.dds ( if the name was pants1.dds from the one you extracted) and rename it "Pantsflower_n.dds" and put it in the same folder as Pantsflower.dds.

 

Also you could use DTX1 instead of DTX5 .... DTX3 & DTX5 are only needed if the texture have an Alpha channel, if it dont it just almost doubles the kb size, its not much but still its friendlier on your RAM & Video RAM.

 

Hope that helps :)
