you'd think since the 'stick is a unique brush gun it would use the same texture right? nah. it uses mill's trail carbine texture.

Open the .nif file in NifSkope and change the texture path to the one you want to use. If you don't know how, there are various tutorials available in FNV, FO3 and Oblivion mods.

I don't think the Brush Gun and Medicine stick have the same model, so I'm not surprised just changing the texture path didn't work quite right. I'd recommend undoing the changes you've done in NifSkope in favor using of FNVedit to solve the problem. You should be able to compare the records for the Brush Gun and Medicine Stick, and change the 1st and 3rd person model file paths for the Medicine Stick to the same as Brush Gun's. The texture is linked to the model somehow, so just changing the model in FNVedit should give it the appropriate texture without any further changes.

 

One small detail that you probably don't have to worry about if I'm remembering right -- if the retexture also includes a new model, make sure to change it to that model's file path rather than the vanilla Brush Gun's(although I'm pretty sure Millenia didn't make a new mesh for that particular gun, so it may not matter).
