Griperrr Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Why would Shivering isles Textures and Meshes not show up? I have the ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa... I unpacked them all, but I'm curious to why I would have this problem. If anyone knows why this is happening or is common, please explain.

DrakeTheDragon Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The Shivering Isles meshes and textures are inside the Shivering Isles BSAs. These are auto-loaded via the Shivering Isles ESP in your load order(that's why there's an 'empty' plugin shipping with SI, while all actual contents are merged into an Oblivion.ESM replacement file). Unpacking these BSAs should not ever be necessary, nor have any benefits, but instead only mess with the functioning of replacement mods for SI contents.However, if you unpacked them and they still don't show up, neither from the BSAs nor from the loose files now, I suggest checking 'where' you unpacked them to next. On OS like Vista or Win 7/8 and having the game/Steam installed at the default location, inside program files, or a similarly over-protected system folder, the UAC will redirect any such attempts into a compatibility folder inside your user files, while the Windows Explorer will keep 'pretending' they'd be where you put them into. The game, however, can't be fooled by it and will not find them anymore. Check your "%LocalAppData%VirtualStore" folder for those files in this case.
