Missing female body textures and troublesome heads no matter what I do

[U1849KA]

No matter what mod combination I have for bodies and textures, the body is always bright pink, which implies to me that the connection between what Vortex has installed, what Bodyslide is making, and what the game is actually reading is broken, but I have no idea how to repair that.

I finally got fed up and completely removed not only Bodyslide itself, but every body and skin mods I had, even the ones that were disabled.

The body is still pink, the face has the brownface bug.

This is the case for all female NPCs, as well as the player.

 

Any ideas on what to do? I've been at this for hours and nothing has any effect.

The Archive Invalidation in Vortex is known to be problematic, unless it has been fixed (doubt). If you have toggled Archive Invalidation off then on and the problem persists, then you need a standalone version of it. Check the mod section for your game for the Archive Invalidation download.

I couldn't find a way within Vortex to enable archive invalidation, but my Fallout4.ini does have the required lines in Archive:

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

SResourceArchiveMemoryCacheList=

If you look around in Vortex, you should find it. It may or may not work. You need to turn off/turn on Archive Invalidation anytime you make any changes to any texture. If you can't find archive invalidation in Vortex, just use the standalone version.

I can't tell you where it is because I don't use Vortex.

Manually removed and re-added the archive invalidation text, to no effect; making sure to save the ini and launch the game in between.

 

Reinstalled the game and nothing changed. Getting ready to just nuke the entire site from orbit. No idea what's stuck.
