zAzAaZOZO Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 This problem first appeared in my last game with the TSC clothes and characters. The clothes in TSC become reflective of any colors or patterns around them. This also occurred in my Poseidonus apartment with all the rugs and furniture as well. Harkin had fluorescent pink eyes like some zombie albino and most of the women had day-glo hair. I started a new game and now the expensive prewar suits are also changing colors and patterns as well. I don't know what is causing this. Any suggestions for fixing this? I have already tried moving the suit mod up and down in the order with no luck. There is some conflict, but right now I'm stumped. If anyone had has this happened and fixed it I would appreciate your sharing your knowledge about this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claustromaniac Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Try changing the texture size in the graphic settings to High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) zAzAaZOZO - Hello! Have you taken care of archive invalidation? Any mod that adds new textures needs archive invalidation to work or else the textures will be messed up, taking on surrounding textures as you describe.Missing textures can also show up bright pink/purple. Easy to take care of, either use: ArchiveInvalidation Invalidatedhttp://www.fallout3n...file.php?id=944Or, if you use FOMM click on Toggle Invalidation on the right.For "New" FOMM you have to go to the buttons at the top & select:Tools - Archive InvalidationNMM has a built in Archive Invalidation too.DON'T USE BOTH METHODS TOGETHER.Note FOMM/NMM's version often needs to be toggled off & then back on again AFTER you add in a new mod. Hope this helps! Prensa Edited March 10, 2015 by prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zAzAaZOZO Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Claustromaniac - I changed the Texture to Large with no positive results. I do appreciate your attempt to help. Prensa - I toggled the archive invalidation button off and on before saving, after saving, after deleting the mod and then reinstalling it and so on, and still the clothes continue to change colors and textures as I move around anywhere. Right now only the "Expensive Pre-war Suits" are doing this. As I mentioned before, this also happened with the TSC Mothership Zeta mods in the last game I played. Since toggling the archive invalidation isn't working either, I would appreciate any other suggestions you might have. I have learned you are a higher level authority in this mod community and I always respect an expert's suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claustromaniac Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Claustromaniac - I changed the Texture to Large with no positive results. I do appreciate your attempt to help. To be honest I think I kind of misinterpreted your original post the first time, maybe because I was reading faster than I should and/or was a bit sleepy (trying to help when I'm tired is a bad habit of mine :P). Your description reminded me of a specific problem with custom textures that is indeed solved by raising the texture setting, but now it sounds like an entirely different thing. What prensa suggested is more reasonable and I also considered it when I was reading your post, but if it didn't work for you it must be something else. Perhaps if you upload a few screenshots somewhere to show us exactly how they look, we can pinpoint the actual problem. It's a good practice when you're asking for help in dealing with texture issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You should check to insure that the texture files were installed correctly. You do this by opening the download loaded file and navigate to data\textures. While you have that open, open the fallout3\data\texture file location and compare the two files.

prensa Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 zAzAaZOZO - Hello!"I have learned you are a higher level authority in this mod community and I always respect an expert's suggestions. "I don't know about expert, I think it's just that I've been around so long I've made most of the mistakes already myself. :DM48A5 suggestion of checking the textures are ending up placed properly & the method suggested is a good one.While you're there checking the textures, if your running Win7 or Vista, did they have a little padlock symbol on them? If so, move them out onto the Desktop & then back again. That will remove the padlock & allow it to be used as normal.If the files aren't ending up where they should plus you are using Win7 or Vista & you've got Fallout 3 installed in the Program files, right click your mod manager & Run As Administrator, then install the mod. See if that helps.If still no luck, does the texture problem happen only with this mod? Does it happen every time you play?If it's not every time you play & affecting other mods then check how many mods you're running. Fallout & other Bethesda games have a limit of how many mods they can run. Technically it's 255 mods but people tend to encounter problems approaching 200 but also others have problems a fair bit lower than too.It normally shows up in game as random & sudden missing textures or meshes.If you're well under 150 mods it's probably not that. If you're well over then try turning off a few unnecessary mods, or merging some of the smaller compatible ones.Hope this helps!Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
