Nevermind the title of the post, I figured it out. This outfit is freaking gorgeous! http://imgur.com/jL9qq

Such a talented author!

Looks like body parts aren't assigned?

Here a tutorial => http://www.calislahn.com/elder-scrolls/tutorials/setting-up-new-clothing-or-armour/

That would be my guess. Is it a body part or a piece of clothing? Either way, you need to assign a mesh to both upper legs and then either to the clothing itself or to your character's race.

Thanks papillon but.. :/ It literally says "check the readme to see which parts are used" multiple times. This tutorial doesn't actually tell you how to figure out for yourself which parts the mesh is trying to use or which parts to select. My problem is that I followed the readme to get these items in game (and did everything in this tutorial) and there's still a problem. Oh well. I can live with it, the outfit is just that fabulous.

Jac - It's both a body part and a piece of clothing. Right? Because to make clothing you have to create a body part.. I think.

Oh, I just read that someone else (http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8417) is having the same problem. The author says to contact him for troubleshooting. Maybe I'll try that.

That answer actually had nothing to do with what the problem was. Guy could've said "make the skirt Type as Pants instead of Skirt". Cause that's what it was. Having never worked with the CS before, it wasn't immediately obvious, I just kept trying stuff until something worked.

Yes. You have to make a body part for the clothing first (chest, upper leg, etc.), before you can attach it to the clothing itself. The mesh on the clothing itself is what you see when you put it down, it's the meshes on the body parts that determine what's shown when you wear it.

These were part of the battling bard collection weren't they there was a second outfit I think? I think I've got saved versions that are fixed and in the census and excise if they'd be of use?

Aw, thank you so much! That would've been perfect. But I got it working a few hours ago, after fighting with it for an hour or so. It's worth it though, what a nice outfit, huh?

thank you for the complement on my outfit. glad you are enjoying it.

yes all the clothing i make is from the Xena television show. i think ive made and reelased about 5? i dont know sounds about right
sitll working on more. but its slow going.

hicks233. fixed version? i wasnt aware of any issues with the meshes and textures other than the fact that they are a modders resource and contain no esp. though i did give instructions on how to set them up. in one of the read me's

if there is an issue let me know.

The only issue was that the readme isn't CS-newbie friendly. Experienced users might have been able to do it on the first try, but for me, under Clothing I selected type "Skirt" for the skirt file - it just seemed to make sense. I had to puzzle out for myself that what I was actually supposed to put there was Pants, not Skirt. Not gonna lie, I fought with your mod for about an hour, but like I said, it was worth it in the end.

I can't wait to see more from you with these beautiful high-quality textures. Yum!

yeah it was a learning curve from me as well . i did alot of trial and error. a few missing legs and various body parts later i finally got the hang of it.
well i really enjoy making them.
