Hi,

I'm new to doing anything at all with armor and/or weapons. I recently made a retexture for some mage robes and hood which I wanted to add into the game as new items (manually placed in 1 location).

I extracted the nif's & dds's using DDSOpt, altered as needed, set paths properly (afaict) in NifSkope, and everything looks like it should work. The robes & hood show properly textured in NifSkope, and the robes work perfectly both in the CK and in Skyrim proper.

The hood, on the other hand, does not. The hood_gnd object shows the new texture both on the ground and in my inventory however when I wear it, it reverts to the OLD mage apprentice hood texture. I've double-checked in the CK and it looks like the proper meshes are listed in the Armor & Armor Addon sections... and the proper textures DO show up in the texture sets I've created.

Is there some obvious thing I've overlooked, or somewhere I can even start looking to try to figure this out?

Many thanks!
