Ive ran into a little problem and I'm wondering if someone can help me. I installed using NMM and the mod works fine, but the textures aren't working. I'm trying to use the all black version, and the jacket is a greenish colour with white shirt still. Same issue with the black and red version. I'm not sure how to fix this and I don't know if any of the others are broken.
Pardon the question, but you did download the full version and not just the default replacer, correct? Sure sounds like it if you even have the option of choosing an outfit, but I had to ask
I don't use NMM myself, but it certainly sounds like the original mod is still installed and either the meshes or the textures are overriding the ones that I modified to add the extra colors. As a start, if either zzjay's original mod or Undeadgoblin's conversion are installed, uninstall them. These downloads are complete replacers and the originals aren't needed. I don't know if NMM has an equivalent to Mod Organizer's "Override" directory, but if it does check it to be sure that no meshes there are overriding the ones from my mod.
Another idea is that If you ran bodyslide to make custom meshes, or installed meshes for a different bodytype or that adds BBP, whatever, that could also be the problem. I had to change a lot of mesh properties, and using any different meshes - a CBBE coversion, a TBBP version, or one generated by Bodyslide - will not contain those edits and will show the old textures.
Hope that helps somehow, but if not let me know and I'll see what I can figure out. No one else has reported any similar problems, so it does seem to be something specifically related to your install.
I did have the original mod by zzjay and though the same thing as you, but uninstalling and deleting that didn't change anything. I didn't use the undeadgoblin one, but when I had the problem, I tried that one to see if it would work, and I had the same problem. I even cleared everything and tried a fresh install with JUST this mod related to the witcher 3, just in case there was a loose file from somewhere, and that didn't work either. I even made sure about overrides and couldn't find anything.
Maybe it was a conversion issue, but then, I tried this mod before I converted and it didn't work then so I'm not sure what happened. They say that every version of skyrim has a different outcome, so maybe this is just mine trying to annoy me.
I DID find a work around. I took the texture for the one I wanted (the full black Triss version), installed the original ZZJay mod and overwrote the textures for that It worked, but it means I have to swap the textures over if I fancy a change. It was such a weird bug that I had no clue as to what was going on. As I said, it was only half the texture that was wrong. The bodice was the correct colour for the armour I was using, the jacket and shirt was wrong, with a green jacket and a white shirt underneath.
That definitely sounds like a mesh problem then... Swapping the textures as you've done will mostly work, although I did change some mesh properties (like adding environment maps) that zzjay's mod probably doesn't have. You'll get the updated diffuse and normal maps, but not the exact look of the full mod with my meshes. Should be an upgrade over the original textures though, and at least you'll have the colors that you like!
I am actually having the same problem. I went into the mod's files (using Mod Organizer if it's at all relevant) and found that many of the Triss textures are either incorrectly placed, or are duplicated from the wrong item. The problems are as follows:
Dark Red contains the Dark Turquoise texture. Dark Turquoise contains the Dark Green texture. Dark Green is correct. Dark Blue contains the Dark Turquoise texture. Light Blue contains what appears to be the Dark Red texture, though is too dark for me to be 100% sure. Light Turquoise is correct.
After moving files to their correct placement, I am left entirely without textures for both the Dark and Light Blue sets. It should be noted that the problem does not persist on the 'hood' textures, just the main sets.
I strongly recommend using the AddItemMenu mod instead of the console. If you do want to use the console, each outfit has either "Triss" or "Yennefer" in the item name; just type "help triss" or "help yennefer" in the console and they should list out.
Not stupid at all - to be honest I don't know where to get them myself. I just use AddItemMenu or the console to add them directly. If you want to find them in-game, though:
This is from Undeadgoblin's original mod post:
"You can get the new armors in a strongbox in Whiterun next to zzjay's strongbox, you can check the images for more info"
And zzjay's original:
"you can get the items in a chestin Alvor's house basement,or in whiterun,catacombs area...see picture."
As for the picture they keep referencing, check zzjay's original listing I guess (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69007/?).
Should still be accurate for this version - I didn't change the location intentionally, that's for sure.
In some of your images, (Triss DLC Full 3,4 and 5) it appears that the skirt has a gold edge. I cannot fine this texture in the files.. Could you please point it out to me?
probably a dumb question... but do i need any other mods to make this work? the mod description is not clear on this. do i need to install these two other mods first, before i install this one?
or do i only need to download and install this mod?
If you download the main file, that's everything that you need ("This download contains a full replacer - ESP, meshes, and tetures for all color variations of the outfits. ").
If you download the optional file only, then you need the original mod, and my mod only retextures the default Yennefer and Triss outfits.

Dark Red contains the Dark Turquoise texture.
Dark Turquoise contains the Dark Green texture.
Dark Green is correct.
Dark Blue contains the Dark Turquoise texture.
Light Blue contains what appears to be the Dark Red texture, though is too dark for me to be 100% sure.
Light Turquoise is correct.
