I recently noticed that my armour mod has a problem where the created gloves overwrite the vanilla gloves I used for a base.

How would I change the gloves to not replace the vanilla gloves as it would would be great if I could know how.

You need to make a copy of the nif that you used a base for your gloves and renamed it to something unique such as mygloves.nif

thanks for the help but that wasnt the problem as it was making sure I didnt overwrite the files in the geck but I just managed to figure it out which was I needed to create new armour addons for the gloves.
