Need help with a mod modification I'm making

I took a look at this mod from the Skyrim Nexus and went, aight, I can edit this so it only changes Nord & Orc females and gives them more muscular textures, because it's only logical, while scrapping everything else.

 

Instead of manually adding a bunch of files for each race I want to keep with the default assets, I took to TES5Edit and just started deleting all the references to the other races, keeping the nord and orcish males the same while making the females point to different texture files and .nif files.

 

I don't have a lot of experience with modding in the CK, so I'm only editing the .esp file with TES5Edit. Can anyone more experienced take a look at the file and see what might be causing the incompatibility with the other race's hands? Their feet show up just fine for some reason.

 

UniqueEverything.esp is the file I've edited so that it only affects Nord and Orc females only.

UniqueEverythingOriginal.esp is the original file straight from the Nexus.

I realize there may be an easier way to do this, but I have zero experience with creating new .esp files. I've looked around plenty, but if I somehow missed a mod that gives Nords and Orcs unique female textures without removing everyone's else's feet, I'd appreciate it if you pointed me towards it.

Hello.

 

If you have the NIFs for the body and the textures is way more easy to do it directly in CK by creating a new esp.

Altering a esp file through TES5Edit is not recommended for doing major changes.

Hey. I'll try to do that, then. I'm gonna look up some guides but I actually managed to get a working prototype going last night.

 

It appears to have zero real issues after looking at each race both in the race menu and in normal ingame conditions. I solved the issue by adding a default NakedTorso, NakedFeet and NakedHands armor addon that everyone gets. The orcs and nords still get their special assets and everybody else runs the default assets without randomly losing appendages. Until I figure out how to make an mod from the ground up, this'll do!

 

UniqueEverything.esp is the finalized edited .esp.
