companion weapon meshes?

[techguy90]

I am using Weapons of the New Millenia and Millenia's WRP (both are up to date), along with the appropriate compatibility patch(es) and a quick merge patch I made with FNVedit (i tried it without this first).

 

The 1st and 3rd person meshes & textures work fine if im holding the weapon, but if I give it to a companion, like Willow or Niner, the mesh reverts back to the vanilla model and the texture turns into a "steampunk, scrap metal collage." This doesn't happen with all of them, and so far I've only noticed it with the hunting revolver and .357.

 

Is there a specific directoy in the Data folder that handles what a weapon model looks like when it's given to a companion? Is it possible to copy the meshes from the normal folder/directory and move them into that folder and pretend it never happened?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently running roughly 130+ plugins (patches included) and this is the only thing I haven't been able to figure out, everything else works great.
