How do you make new models in nifskope? Like how would I make the model for a new palace and how do you make the DDS for it?

I think you can't, unless you "transplant" parts from other models into an existing one.
For completely new things, you'll probably have to dive into Blender.

Yep, blender. I suggest you read Blender: Noob to Pro on wikibooks. Its free and gives a complete top to bottom understanding about how to use it. Its a little daunting, but you should definitely read it.

After you understand the basics (and some not-so-basics), find the_coyote's tutorial in the tutorial section. He details how to make units, but making buildings is the same principle (in fact, its probably easier to make builds because you don't really have to bone anything).
