StultusCordum

I don't see any .bsa files in the dust mods, and when I extract the textures to the data folder, it doesn't say it's overwriting anything. Im not sure what you mean by bsa archive though, is that something that's in the mod files?

What I mean in the title is that mods that replace or remove the dust texture aren't working at all, sorry about that confusion. I did everything you suggested, and I even re-installed the game with all my mods disabled, but none of that worked, thanks for the suggestions though! Since the dust was still like this after I re-installed, I'm assuming it is now the vanilla texture somehow, but I have no idea how unless the game got updated and it was changed. If that's the case it still doesn't explain why mods can't do anything to this dust.

I saw earlier today when I went into Ilinalta's deep that the floating dust particles looked different. I had been using a texture mod for dust that made it much finer and harder to see, and I thought maybe that the mod had gotten messed up somehow, but the texture that the particles now have isn't even the vanilla one from before I put on the mod. I've never seen it before. Just before I noticed this I had installed some other small texture mods, one for window textures, one for sun glare, and one for spell impacts. Besides that I haven't done anything to change any textures in the game. I tried disabling these, along with all my other texture mods, but the dust still stayed the same. So I tried downloading a mod to remove dust particles entirely, and even that didn't work. No other dust retextures I've tried today have done anything either. So right now the floating dust in my game looks really thick, like falling curtains of dust everywhere. It's pretty ugly and I don't know what caused it, if anyone knows anything about this I really appreciate it! not sure how well you can see it in a still picture, but I took some screenshots: http://imgur.com/ygBzT0c http://imgur.com/Pyoko67 http://imgur.com/wnnFEz7
