Fixing working but invisible armor (slots)

[sunhawken]

I had a problem with some of my armors working with SOS and 200+ plus mods so I found these fix.

Ok, but no matter what is that value called in Nifskope, important is its value - a number, so if you know, that there should be 60, you could enter value 60 even before these values got their naming in nif.xml file used by Nifskope.

Yes, there are used NiSkinInstance blocks. This is original block for skinned data and BSDismemberSkinInstance is only Bethesda's extending of this block by "Partitions" informations - probably for CK or engine. I think you can use NiSkinInstance blocks - try it, if it will work. You can convert BSDismemberSkinInstance block to NiSkinInstance block (and vice versa) in Nifskope - right click over BSDismemberSkinInstance and select "Block -> Convert"."
