Alright so im trying to create a completely new weapon and put it into the game. i have the mesh and added the texture in nifskope. ive taken my model into skyedit and created the esp. put the esp in my data folder, the mesh in the mesh folder and texture in texture folder. When i launch the game it shows in data files and i tell it to load loose files but i cant seem to get it in my hands, ive tried finding it in the console. nothing. in skyedit i cant seem to give it a custom ref id so i cant add item it. so i think im doing something wrong but there is almost no information/guides about adding new weapons to the game. any ideas?

 

Also ive found a lot of good guides for retexturing items but i have not found anything really in-depth about adding new items into the game, any good places i could check out?

I've not toyed with adding an item in the game, but there's a guide on the Nexus on how. If you haven't looked it up, you can try it out -- it may have the answer you seek.
