Glitchy problems with a couple of mods.

Post » Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:12 am

Ever since I downloaded a couple of mods, these two mods each are causing problems in my game! (but only in the zones where the mods take place, thank god!)
The problem is a nasty graphical glitch caused by a missing tail file in the beast races of each of these two mods (even though it's limited to just the Argonians, since these two mods only have Argonians as the beast races in them) that results in the Argonians missing their tails! (again limited to just Argonians within the 2 mods!) I don't think load order has to do with the reason why their tails are missing as the file skeletonbeast.nif is missing on both the mods .esp! (Yes I am able to check the files contained within .esms and .esps thanks to Oblivion Mod Managers special features.) And no I don't know how to import files into .esps using bash patch/wrye bash or OBMM! I already reported the glitch on one of the mods to their respected author earlier tonight and hope at least the problem on that mod gets resolved. Now the 2 mods with the missing beast race tails (beastskeleton.nif file) are Rost3_Topal.esp and TWMP_Castle_Dunkerlore.esp! I even have pics to prove the problem!

And on the same exact game install as the two mods are installed into and loaded in proper load order directly below the TWMP Black Marsh .esp file, is http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i276/JNSBSB/Oblivion2011-01-2903-47-31-05.jpg?t=1296296747

As you can see I discovered that each of them lacks a skeletonbeast.nif file within their respected .esp files!

I just don't know what to do or if it's just me and I'm the only one having problems with the missing argonian tailes with these two mods. :(

So if anybody else is also having the missing argonian/beast race tails with the argonians in these two mods, please reply below! Also, please reply with any ways to fix the problem as well!

Disregard any replies! I finally figured it out after searching thru the forums and now the problem has been resolved! All I had to do was listen to someone and simply extrace a skeleotn nif file to my data folder, and wala, cured 2 birds (mods) with http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=27945:)

(Please close this one down!)
