Random Missing Textures Help

Post » Tue Oct 06, 2015 11:08 pm

Greetings. Could someone please take a gander at my load order through SMO.

I'm getting random missing textures. You know, the dreadful purple death of

character immersion. I use loot to organize, but moved some things around

to fit SMIM in properly. I think my mistake was using TES5edit. I've been

noticing a lot of mod creators stressing not to clean their mod. Oops.

Anyhoot here:

Big thank you! -oldplayer

A missing texture occurs when a mesh (.nif file) points to a texture that is not in any BSA or the Data/Textures directory. I got several when I tried to uninstall SMIM (using Wrye BASH), because it removed the textures but not all the meshes.

The way it works is that an ESM or ESP points to the mesh to use and the mesh points to the texture. So, you can't resolve missing textures by looking at your load order. It is caused by mods that replace existing meshes with ones that use new textures and mods that add new meshes that use new textures. SMIM does both.

No. If anything, reinstall it.
