I think i accidently deleted the "textures" file in common/skyrim/data .... [censored].... im screwed. I was trying to put Lanterns of Skyrim in my data file and thats when i think i accidetnly pressed a button or something.. Idk if i deleted it, but i cant find the folder "Textures" anywhere in the Data folder.

Idk what to do plz help me im not a computer tech i svck at this stuff.

Verify the files via Steam.

i did and when it compelted it said that 2 files were fixed or whatever...but i went back to data nad there was no textures folder still...

Vanilla Skyrim doesn't have a Texture folder. Textures are loaded from the BSA (or something like that) files automatically. The only point of a Texture folder is to override the default textures.

ok thats good but i have a quick question, what popular mods go in the "textures" file of common/skyrim/data???? because i know AV Variants goes in it and i just checked for AV.... it's all gone. That means any other mod that goes in that folder is gone too, but idk which ones. (P.S. i only downloaded popular mods, mainly the "top 50 mods by PCGamer.

All loose files go in directories in the Data directory, textures (DDS files) go in the textures directory.
