I 'created' a new model in Blender, using several Skyrim clothes. I cut some parts away, but kept it so the uv maps were still the same. I read guides for importing/exporting, one on the Nexus and one on the NexusWiki. They differ in a few places, but I've tried them both, and a mix, but the result is still the same. My .nif looks okay, has all the textures linked and placed, but when I load up the CK and try to link my clothes, it says I'm missing a textureset. I thought that might be a problem earlier, but I tried linking the textures in Blender and they work in there. I've tried both creating new BSLightingShaderProperty/BSShaderTextureSet and copying them from other files and adapting them, but neither seems to work.

Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks in advance.


TL;DR: Clothes won't show up, claiming a missing texture when there's a texture supplied and linked. Help, please?

Could you copy and paste here:
* the exact paths to the textures you entered in the .nif?
* the exact path to the .nif in your Skyrim directory?
* the exact path to the textures in your Skyrim directory?

Don't type them.. copy and paste them when possible.

Sure, here we go.

Paths to the textures in the .nif:
textures\actors\character\female\AstridBody.dds
textures\actors\character\female\femalebody_0_msn.dds
textures\actors\character\female\FemaleBody_1_sk.dds
textures\actors\character\female\AstridBody_s.dds

textures\clothes\lefur\shirt.dds
textures\clothes\lefur\shirt_n.dds

textures\clothes\lefur\belt.dds
textures\clothes\lefur\belt_n.dds

textures\clothes\lefur\pants.dds
textures\clothes\lefur\pants_n.dds

Path to the .nif:
clothes\LeFur\explorer_0.nif
As seen in the CK.

Otherwise, it's :

D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\Meshes\clothes\LeFur\explorer_0.nif
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\Meshes\clothes\LeFur\explorer_1.nif (A duplicate of _0 simply renamed to _1, so I could test it)

D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\clothes\LeFur\shirt.dds
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\clothes\LeFur\shirt_n.dds
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\clothes\LeFur\belt.dds
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\clothes\LeFur\belt_n.dds
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\clothes\LeFur\pants.dds
D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\clothes\LeFur\pants_n.dds

Have you tried to check the preview in the actor's window? Can you see the clothes, or at least purple-black over the actor?
If you can't see at least purple or black on the preview, then it probably is an issue with the way the nif was exported out of Blender.
