Strange Mesh/Texture problems

[Vvemoth]

I have HGEC installed and some texture enhancements to go with the new meshes, but the actual problem doesn't seem directly related to those mods.

 

When any of my characters in-game have clothing with the sleeves partially missing or pants with the bottoms partially missing, instead of using the HGEC meshes and textures it uses the default, but if I take the shirt/pants off it will show the HGEC meshes. I honestly do not understand why this is happening and am at a loss to fix it. I am currently using Archive Invalidation Invalided.bsa and have the correct changes in the .ini file, but perhaps it is still related.

 

This error is incredibly immersion breaking and I absolutely must find a way to fix this. All help is much appreciated, and if you actually believe that it may be a mod I can list my mod order. However I will say that I unchecked every mod and ran vanilla Oblivion and the error still occurred so it is definitely not an active .esp causing the error, but seems to be the way Oblivion is handling the different meshes altogether (which sucks).

 

I have many mods that do not require an .esp installed including OBGE (with internal plugins) and OBSE (with internal plugins), and many other texture modifications that do not require an .esp. If you believe it may be related I will try to list all of them.

 

Thanks!

Ok just a little update:

 

I actually fixed this problem (followed by much jubilation) by changing the .bsa files in the Oblivion.ini files to "NIL" and starting the game. The only way this could work for me personally is because I have all the .bsa files extracted onto my hard-drive so I shouldn't need to use them anyway. That said, how do you guys deal with these errors who use the .bsa files? You can't all be running the game completely extracted can you? What are the current work around methods for these problems? I would really like to know because in the future I would rather like to recompile my .bsa files again when I rebuild my new computer.

 

Thanks!

Im not quite sure, if i understand this at all. I am running the game extracted.

Personally i cannot be bothered by decompiling the whole lot again, when something comes up that needs to be changed. Maybe you wanna buy a new HDD? They really arent to expensive. Alternately just use OBMM together with HGEC and the Eve Stock Clothing Replacer. PS: Also it might be a good idea to download the maximum compability skeletons with that.
