Moding help with Slots

[littleman]

Hey there, 

 

Im not a good modder by any stretch, but id like to think I can understand how to do simple things.

I am having an issue with equipable items.  

I have two mods,   a Tongue mod and a horn mod .   Specifiaclly wraiths tongue for SE and Wearable horns Praedy Horns. 

My issues is, they both use slot 55.  So I can not equip both items at once.  My crude attempts t simply move them to different slots,  in CK failed.  

Not only do the items no longer show up on the character, but in some cases despite having  altered the slots they will still refuse to be applied together.  

Any help or tips on what I need to do to make this work will be helpful.  

I should also note both mods when opened in CK come up with errors of invalid slot biped used  slot 55.

There are three separate places you have to change the slot number. Two are in the esp records armor and armor addon, which you can change in the CK or with xEdit. The third is in the nif file, under BSDismemberSkinInstance, which you can change with nifskope. 

 

Also, if you use the devious devices mod, pretty much all of the open body slots are used by something. So if you keep slot 55 for the horns you won't be able to wear them with a blindfold, for example.
