[LE] Custom Texture Not Applying Properly

[Vlathis]

Hello everyone.

 

I recently started modding, with my first attempt being to create a new item with the monk robe mesh and a custom texture I made. After several hours I managed to create the item aside from one issue I can't quite seem to solve. The diffuse texture (the custom part) seems to not be applying properly. In the Creation Kit, the item looks perfectly fine, however when I load it into the game it is replaced by a light purple color across the entire item. I've also been able to place the texture in the game files to edit existing items successfully, however that was not done using the Creation Kit. It's probably a simple thing I'm missing, but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours to no avail.

 

If anyone knows what my issue is, that would be great.

Thank you.

 

Edit: I decided to try sticking the texture in the game files directly like I've done with existing items in the past. This actually seemed to work, which tells me the texture isn't being packaged into the mod. In light of this, I'm going to change my question slightly and ask if anyone knows set it up so that the mod's file includes the texture. Unless someone else identifies the issue differently of course.
