Trying to convert a Fallout New Vegas weapon to Fallout 4

[GTVel]

So i'm new to modding, (this is my first mod) and it's a bit difficult on where to find information and how to do things. I've got (what I believe) is the majority of the individual weapon done, but my game crashes to desktop every time I render the weapon either in the pip boy or in the world. I can spawn it into my inventory perfectly fine though, just not look at it.

 

I followed this tutorial on how to do it, but it didn't work when I followed his steps using a pool cue instead of a Chinese officer sword. I want to say it's because I didn't put the proper textures at the time.

 

 

After doing that, I tried making the weapon use it's own textures and while it DID render the texture and normal map properly in nifskope, it still had the same pitfall as before where it'd crash upon rendering in game.

Of course I could be wrong and there is some human error in my mod, and it would make sense since I have no experience with modding whatsoever. Thanks in advance for any help I may get.
