Cloaks of Skyrim Mod

[Ahab]

Hello guys, I am fairly new to modding this game, had no problems with Steam workshop mods, but unfortunately this mod is unavailable here, so had to install via nexus. The capes appear in game, I can craft them/equip them but they are invisible. They dont appear to have texture on crafting menu or on my character. I have extracted the zip file in skyrim data folder, and have put only 1 out of 3 .esp files (like the creator of the mod said) so I dont know what am I doing wrong. Any help? c:

Okay, that .esp you put in the Data Folder only tells Skyrim you added new cloaks to the game and where to find them. It does not actually add the cloaks. Makes sense? This is where you are right now.
You still need to actually put the cloaks into the game. Still following along? The cloak Meshes (basically the 3d models) and the cloak Textures (basically the colors) must also be put into your Data\Meshes folder and your Data\Textures folder respectively.
It's easier to understand if you open the Cloaks mod and look at all its folders and you compare this to Skyrim's folders. It'll start to make more sense.

And use one tool to do it NMM/MO/Wrye Bash.

I have put mesh and texture folders in data folder (I did not have separate mesh/texture folders before that since it is first non-workshop mod I am installing and those did not create any new folders) I also seem to have similar problem with every single texture mod that is not from workshop :/

So, I take that you did not use mod manager? I would recommend using either NMM or MO - maybe NMM in your case. Installing and especially uninstalling mods with managers is a lot easier.

Both are free applications. I have included tutorial videos from Gopher to pinned topic Player spreadhseet.

Thanks for the help everyone. I am having some issues with steam itself atm, and will definitely try those programms after I have fixed everything.

If you encounter exact issues with Cloaks of Skyrim, then you can tell us about that. Nazenn is currently managing those mods. I can catch him from either through Steam chat or Discord, if needed.
