Creation Kit - Black Textures FIX

[bgd00]

I'm not sure if this is of any use but after getting the black texture bug several times I decided to try something. I googled and all I ever found was to delete the PREFS.ini file. However after comparing the original ini file to the one that causes black textures I couldn't believe how simple it was.

 

Open up the file "creationkitprefs.ini" and look for the line "bSAOEnable". If you've got black textures then this will say "=0". Change to "=1". Now restart the program (if the error has occured), the other bug is even though you can change this option in the program it won't work as the program needs to be restarted.

 

I know I am late to modding and using the kit itself but for those who still do or will then I hope this tip helps.

 

Lastly I googled a BATCH script (.bat) so I can do this automatically and open the kit at the same time. Simply copy & paste this code into a text file, then place the text file into the Falllout 4 main folder, rename the extension from .txt to .bat. Make a shortcut to this file. BGD00

 

@echo off

SETLOCAL=ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

rename CreationKitPrefs.ini text.tmp

for /f %%a in (text.tmp) do (

set foo=%%a

if !foo!==bSAOEnable=0 set foo=bSAOEnable=1

echo !foo! >> CreationKitPrefs.ini)

del text.tmp

Start "" "G:\Fallout 4 - Creation Kit Purposes\Fallout 4\CreationKit.exe" (edit this line to your CreationKit.exe file)

exit
