Character Customization How to preload clothes? STAG outfit crashes game

I'm trying to make a mod that enables the STAG uniform from the beginning of the game. It only shows up in the store menu after I remove the "is DLC" and "dlc framework" tags from the "customization_items.xtbl", otherwise it doesn't show up at all. After adding the appropriate entries to customization_stores.xtbl (Let's Pretend in this case), attempting to select the STAG Elite uniform will result in a game crash.

I'm assuming this is because the model isn't preloaded, given it's the beginning of the game and STAG doesn't appear until act 2. How do I preload the mesh? Or am I wrong completely and there's a way to do this that doesn't result in a game crash? It's worth noting that this does not happen in the original game, only the remaster.
 
Are you enabling the correct version of the outfit?
DLC items don't like being tampered with, and usually crash in case of mismatch (like making a DLC item non-DLC, even in SRTTR where all DLC is included anyway).
Then again, there is the complication of dlc4 which has many outfit copies from the main game itself. I'm not too familiar with modding that.

Alternatively, you could try modding unlockables.xtbl to unlock the outfit silently on boot like how DLC unlocks work.
