sicknesseater Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 So. I had to stop modding for a few months when i had to buy a new computer. I used to seriously enjoy editing textures and doing texture swaps. However when i edit and save a .dds file those changes do not appear in the game. FOr instance if i edit the .dds file for a ox of abraxo, the box keeps the vanilla texture when i load up the game even though the .dds file is edited. If I open the.DDS file it shows teh changesI made but they then do not load in game. I have tried both GIMP and Photoshop with the peoper .DDs plug ins and it doesnt work with either app. When I load a .DDs file in photoshop the layer appears labeled as a decompressed image instead of as a back ground layer. I actually have no idea what is going on. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWolf01 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Ok, so I'm afraid that I don't know enough about doing the textures, to be able to throw any input on what might be going on THERE. But, you said that you had to get a new computer. After installing the game on the new system, are you sure that you did all of the required .ini file edits, to handle loose, modified textures?

Unfortunately I can't remember what to do with.INI files. Do you mind telling me how/telling where I can find that information again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWolf01 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Heyas Eater. Sure thing not a problem! :smile:Here's a page that I keep bookmarked with the instructions for that. It's a mod page, and the mod itself, is vastly outdated. BUT, the author does have the instructions for the edit, listed in the mod description.I hope that will be what's causing the problem for you :smile: Oh, and lest I forget. Remember to make a backup of that file, somewhere on your computer, before you make the edits. Just in case. Newton's law "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong...." And all that ;)https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
