Armor mod for custom race

[bk2011]

I have a armor mod that adds an armor set to the game via a esp file. I also have a custom race mod. A problem I'm having is that the armor does not show up on the custom race. The armor itself is fine when I load up a normal Nord character and shows up as it should.

 

So I've tried going through the armor's esp file in creation kit to see if I could fix it.

 

I set the armor mod esp as active, while also opening the custom race esp.

I go to the armor set's armoraddon entry, I open it and highlight the custom race in the 'additional races' section.

 

I save the file but the problem is not fixed. When I reload the armor esp in creation kit, the changes that I made before does not seem to be saved.

 

What am I doing wrong? If I'm totally on the wrong track, please let me know what I should be doing instead.

 

 

Thanks!

One possibility is that you need to make the race mod a parent esp first before having anything else can utilize that custom race. However, I've played custom races and haven't had any issues with stock or custom armor from being used. Care to enlighten as to which armor & which race?

 

At any rate its part of a larger tutorial but this section will explain what you need to do to make that race mod a parent, if you choose to go that route.
