Help Swapping torch.nif with staff.nif

[FalseDreamer3E]

So I'm trying to make a mod similar to the Meridia's light mod http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/32842/? and contacted the author for help. He gave me four simple steps to follow:

1. Delete TorchFire NiNode from torch.nif.

2. Copy wabbjack NiNode from wabbajack.nif and paste it to torch.nif.

3. Adjust position of wabbajack mesh you just copied according to torch mesh so it will have the proper position in your hand.

4. Delete Torch NiNode.

5. Save results.

I did all these things. When i put it in creationkit to save it and create an .esp everything renders textures and meshes. When i go in the game and add the item via console, instant ctd as soon as i exit out of the inventory menu. Any ideas?
