I have an actor that I built by making a new human race. Basically, it has all the same stuff as the Nord race, except for all the abilities and skill bonuses and things and some stat changes.
Anyhow, I got this race to render (ie did all of the skinnaked and nakedtorsoaa duplicating stuff) but for some reason he won't wear any outfits. Any ideas why?

Did you give him one?

Course. I even made new clothing for him with the race set as HumanRace instead of DefaultRace when that didn't work. Still nothing...
