Need a little help troubleshooting.

[frans42000]

OK I installed several mods in the past, and somewhere along the way something overwrote either the mesh or texture for the "sarge" haircut. Anytime an NPC or my player (when using the butler haircut function) has that hairstyle there is the typical Bethesda big red diamond with an exclamation point centered on that character's head.

 

Where in the file structure would a file be that would be effecting this?

 

I assume it is a mesh problem, since I think a missing texture would show up as nothing (bald) or white/untextured.

 

But I am not a modder per se, so I can not be sure.

 

Or does someone know of a mod that uses the "sarge" haircut specifically so I can look there?

 

 

Thanks for the help.

ALL vanilla meshes textures etc are in the bsa files and are never changed by mods. The vanilla meshes, textures etc are overwritten by mods EVERY time you start the game but are not changed in any way.

 

My guess is some mod is either not installed correctly or you have not completely removed a mod that made a change to that resource and the game is looking for the alternate resource from the mod. See if you can identify the mod that changed that hair style and wither reinstall it, or completely remove it - just disabling or even removing the esp does not remove the textures and meshes - you will have to find and remove those manually.
