I'm trying to retexture the the glass armor and weapons. I've previously had a mod created on Skyrim nexus and I really want to move it to steam workshop.

I've got my textures in the proper directories, and loaded in the skyrim master file to the creation kit. I can create a texture pack that shows my textures correctly (silver rather than gold metal) I'm only using the texture file and the normal map. When I go to replace the texture pack on the armor addon the female chest piece will only show a little darker than normal, not silver like it should. The male armor changes just fine, but the female one will not.

I've gone back and checked my texture, my normal map, and completely retried four times. Same results. The male model will change and the female will not.

Let me know if you need more information, but try to be specific. I'm really new to modding and I'm not sure the terms/locations of many things you may mention.

Is there an easier way I'm unaware of to put these textures on the steam workshop? Or am I doing something wrong?

I am running Windows 8 (blegh)
