The other niftools though might not work with all of those anymore. 

 

2012 seems to be the most used though, that's what I use with no issue for making clothes, iirc however if you are working on creating animations you will want a different version.

I think that's been gone over in one of Arrok's threads.

2010 is the lowest you will be able to find free anyway. Use anything between 2010 and 2012 but nothing later than that. Those versions are almost exactly identical, so you would be able to follow any routine from a tutorial or video you find. 2010 and 2011 work with havok content tools 2010.2 if you are looking to do animation, but all the rest can be used to create models.

I use 2010 to do poses and animations because I didn't get it to work with 2012, but it's probably my fault. I'm lazy so decided to stick to what's working,but got 2012 and it's what I use for everything else.
