Help creating new item (sword) in an existing mod

Hi again, if you’re coming from my other post that i thought i’d solved… well it wasnt solved
so…
So i’m trying to make a new sword, identical to radzigs sword in all ways except for its name… it’s literally a copy and paste to be honest with newly generated uuids
and from what i can tell, meager as my knowledge is, i can’t see what I’ve done wrong

i’ve tried everything suggested in this post (theres more after the link)

i’ve added it to the
text ui items xml
weapon2weapon_preset xml
weapon xml
player item xml
pickable_item xml
melee_weapon xml
equippable_item xml

with the generated uuids from www.uuidgenerator.net/version4

i’ve also read that tbl files could interfere with what i’m trying to do, so i installed modsmith (also from the nexus), but i can’t for the life of me figure out how to use it.

i’ve installed the mod, added the correct root file, and when i run the exe file it opens cmd for a split second and closes

the mod i’m trying to add the sword to is the blood and steel mod from the nexus by the way, if that knowledge can help

thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Shameless bump cause i rly need help
