Boot shafts disappearing while priorities are right.

[Ahriana]

Problem:

I'm having this problem with my mod where the boot shafts are disappearing. This is happening despise me having the same settings in "armor" and "armoraddon" as vanilla Elven and Ebony armor. This started to happen after I changed the "ArmorAddon" to be body, forearms and calves for my jacket(Cuirass) after I noticed that I had forgotten this when I released the mod a year ago. The mod works fine for me except for one of my custom downloaded followers(Kate Selene) that has the glitch. The problem is that some of my down-loaders are reporting the issue on their main characters while they are using CBBE special as their nude model. This makes no sense because the nude body is replaced by my mod and I can use CBBE Special with no problems.

(Ignore the "kate race" thing in the additional races I was doing some experiments with both mods loaded.)

What I have tried

I have tried adding calves to the boots "armor" to force the game to replace the calves of the jacket and replace it with the boots calves. I have also tried to change the priority numbers but this did not work ether. I have also tried cleaning my mod with SSEEDIT with no effect. If I spawn in the Elven/Ebony armors I duplicated to make my mod then it works fine on my follower(Kate) so the issue must be in my mod somehow.

What I think it is

It must be some kind of priority issue because if you remove the boots of my follower (Kate) and put them back in her inventory then the boot shafts will replace the calves like it should. But I have to do this for every play session. I don't know if priority is saved in save files somehow but one would think that I would have this problem in my game because my save file has had my mod longer then anyone els. I don't think it's the mesh because it's set up with calves and feet like all other boots I have investigated.

 

Has anyone experienced this issue and knows how to fix it? I have googled all the search terms I can think of with no success. I can mod the issue away for my self but I want my down-loaders to get a glitch free mod on first download when it's such an easy mod. Thanks is advance. :D

I found the solution to the problem! The Daedric boots I duplicated had Calves and feet as biped objects in the armor record so when I added calves to the jackets ArmorAddon record it broke all my heavy boots. If I wasn't such an idiot and forgot to check the heavy armors (facepalm) :pinch:
