I am getting these model load errors all of a sudden:

Meshes/Armory/AR_Marrow.NIF
Meshes/Armory/AR_Farrow.NIF
Meshes/Armory/AR_Parrow.NIF
Meshes/Armory/AR_Sarrow.NIF

I encountered these when entering the arrow shop (official mod) in Vivec. I think I have been in the shop before but am not 100% sure. The shopkeeper has 2 dwarven spears and a dwarven axe in stock, which I think I sold her. If those are not normally in her stock then I have definitely been inside previously, with no errors.

Is it safe to go inside the building (with the loaded error.nif files), then fix the error later, or will it stick me with the error files after they load for the first time?

Why would this suddenly crop up, and how can I fix these errors?


Thanks for your time.

I'm fairly sure it won't matter if you don't fix it until afterwards. However, try reloading the game, if you haven't already, and see if the errors come up again. Maybe it was just a loading problem (happened to me in Oblivion a few times). If they do, then what I'd do is check these files even exist, and then use the CS make sure that the item has the right mesh.

Reloading didn't work out. I opened my Data Files/Meshes folder, and there is not even a folder called Armory within it. What the heck?

What's the next step?

Next step, perhaps find the file you downloaded or redownload it, and see if the meshes are in there. Then copy them over

Are you sure you installed them there in the first place?

What file are we talking about? The only mod in play here is the official area effect arrows plugin, which consists of only the mod file, no graphics or anything else.

Do you or anyone else happen to have the missing files in question? I'm not sure they're even supposed to exist.

I checked on another install that also has this mod on the computer next door, and there is no Meshes/Armory folder there either. What's the deal?
