Invisible/missing items and armor

[Waphlez]

I know what it looks like when a texture is missing (item is purple) and when a mesh is missing (yellow error), but I have run into some invisible armor (such as worn fur leggings on bandits). I have extracted the default textures and meshes from the .bsa and put them in my data folder and it fixed one missing texture (that was purple), but the leggings are still completely invisible. I have used Archive Invalidated and googled some help, but I don't know how to handle missing/invisible items.

Do you mean that when worn, that part of their body goes invisible? Or it just appears that they didn't equip the item? If you mean the first, that's what happens when the game can't find the mesh for the armor or clothing piece. Try reinstalling your meshes, or moving the mod down in your load order, and it should help.

I've got the same issue. The torso is invisible, all floaty head type. It's the Green Brocade Doublet (invisible) and Breeches (Black) seem to be of issue. I'm not sure how to fix this or even which MOD is causing it. :confused:

Odd. I can't think of which of those mods would do that. You can try my method: time consuming, but effective. Just go through, and little by little, disable a couple mods at a time, then load your save. Keep doing that until your clothes are visible again. Then, just go through and one by one reactivate all the most recently disabled mods, until you figure out the culprit. But, as far as I know, none of those should change clothing, at least judging by file names... I recognize most of them.
