verpinzal Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Nukamage's Pimpboy mod (for xbox) on Bethesda has a line on the description page: "after a time the gold turns to chrome/silver and I can't fix it." At the time, I was furious at him for releasing a buggy mod. Then I returned to my PC and found the same mod. With same bug. Turns out this was not Nukamage's fault. The following mods' gold items turn into chrome after a certain period of time, or immediately after fast traveling/saving/loading: Pornstar FashionImmersive Pipboy ThemesPipboy Skin Pack (this one's shiny chrome patch doesn't do any good either) What would you guys say is happening? Is it a problem with screen space reflections? Cubemaps? I removed enhanced blood textures, thinking it was somehow overriding cubemaps (have no knowledge but the mod has cubemaps, so..), for 10 minutes the gold surfaces stayed. Then back to chrome. Can anybody help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KikiVelika Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 If I remember correctly, it's an engine bug with environmental mapping. Unless BGS fixes it with the Next-Gen update, you might get lucky by using the Buffout 4 mod, but I never tested that specifically for this bug.You might want to try to disable rain and rainy weather, since that seemed to prolong the time the environmental mapping worked, but that could have been just dumb luck on my end when I did some testing. Personally I ended up editing some (leather style) armor pieces that were affected by it to not use environmental mapping, but that doesn't seem to be an option in your case.
