SSE Custom added armor refuses to use it's textures.

[Teytame]

Hey guys.

I added a custom armor to a standalone follower. In the process it was showing the textures, but after removing the original armor from load order, the armor lost it's textures.

I linked each NIF to the textures inside the mod, and there they are showing, but not in CK or the game.

 

Do I need to create the texture files (under Textures in CK) as I did with the skin/body etc?

 

The reason I'm asking is because no guides are mentioning it, and after checking other followers with custom armors, I haven't seen those textures in them, just like the Vanilla armors.

 

Am I missing some step or is it the hard way?

 

Thank you in advance.

If you're not going to keep the armor mod as a master then yes, you'll need to add the textures into your own mod, and relink the nif files to the new path.

Yes, I've done that and it works. I was asking because I looked into other followers with custom armors and none of them use this method, so I was curious if there's another way, perhaps less time consuming.

 

Thank you for your reply.
