I've decided to convert a turban (mesh done by someone else) to suit a child, just for my own use. The only things I did for that was to change exactly one lod in blender and change the age tags. I have also changed the original turban's mesh and accidentally overwrote it instead of saving as a seperate package. Therefore now I have two package files: the changed adult one, and a new child one, all have the same textures.
Now I found out that those packages (that are actually three, if I take a seperate recolor version into account) are apparently all linked together, and neither can live while the other survives: only one package appears in the game, usually the first one to get into the mods folder (when I added the child version - it was nowhere to be seen, when I deleted the adult's version and brought it back, it now was this version's time to be missing in the favor of the child one) . The recolor version of the original adult turban that I haven't even touched suddenly changed to the new shape that I gave to the original (!) file; after the adult version went missing, the existence of the recolor stayed, but not the mesh itself - it's invisible in the game, with a visible mesh outline on the head.
When I tried fiddling with the tags to see if something was wrong there, I saw that changing any tags in one file automatically changes them in the other, so I can't even tag the kid and the adult versions differently (therefore right now I think the main problem is that the files somehow share the same tags and cannot be displayed at proper ages and sections, somehow). I tried creating a subfolder for one of the packages and obviously it did nothing. To screw things up even more, when I discovered that all other lods of the mesh apart from the first one have been unchanged, i.e. kid's turban is still the adult version high above the head and the adult version has the original shape, I didn't bother and uploaded the same mesh for all of the other lods, which obviously didn't help either, only probably was the cause of the recolor version glitch.
So in short, the original turban existed perfectly with the recolor, I converted the original for a child, changed the mesh for both packages and now all three act like one and cannot be displayed at the same time and I have no idea how it happened and what to do.
Here's the very original turban package.
Here's the zip with the three packages and two blender files
(I thought of simply using an in-game mesh to overwrite for the turban one, but I ain't saving all those over9000 swatches until I make sure there's no other way to do it)
