Confused on getting setup for Skyrim Armor modding

[Asariphile]

Just spent two hours trying to get this software up for making armor in skyrim. Still not working.

 

I was following this guide and got down to the point where I import the body meshes into Blender. I found that I did not have an option to import Netimmerse/Gamebyro(.nif) files and it told me I need to install Nifscripts for blender (thanks for having me read and execute half the tutorial before telling me that btw, I love Nexus) So I follow the link (this one) to the blender installation. I find out that said page is so outdated half the files don't work. I can't get Nifscripts to install with anything. Ive download the version it has said to 5 or 6 times and nifscripts still pops up and tell me that there are version incompatibilities and refuses to install. What am I doing wrong? Or am I using a shitty tutorial?

You're probably using the wrong version of Blender and Python. Unfortunately, the current complete release of nifscripts requires Blender 2.49b and 2.x Python (not 3.x)

 

So grab this http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/40980

Thanks for the help!

 

I am tired of being just a lurker here, but dont have the time, know-how, or energy to devote to a big project. I have a some experience in CGI and think thats a good place to start.
