Black face and hand textures.

[UnoriginalGMan]

I haven't installed any new mods recently, and I was playing earlier. But now the faces and hands of everybody are pitch black. When I go into first person my hands are invisible and the fire doesn't show up for my firebolt spell.

 

I also noticed that certain terrain textures are either completely missing or completely black.

A couple details about my computer:
No graphics card

Intel i5 3570-k

Hm I've had that happen before once, however it was only on my character. I found that sometimes equiping a complete set of vanilla armour sometimes fixed it. Other times I've had to install the texture mods again to fix the issue. Not sure if this is super helpful, but probably better than nothing.

Place HighRes packs in skyrim.ini like that:

[Archive]
sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa
sResourceArchiveList2=Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa, Skyrim - HighResTexturePack01.bsa, Skyrim - HighResTexturePack02.bsa, Skyrim - HighResTexturePackFix.bsa

and untick them in the Launcher. Then try running Skyrim again.

 

If you still have this issue, then you should post detailed specs of your PC (DxDiag report).
