purple blotchy colors in game all of a sudden

[robedits]

I've been running OBLIVION for a few months now,brand new Dell rig,running Win XP SPack 2,latest greatest vid card (ATI 1900X),latest audio/video drivers,etc etc. Have not had any problems per se.

All of a sudden,after installing a few mods yesterday,most of the colors in my game are swatches of purple...mostly the weaving grass.

I've been running dozens of non-conflicting mods for a few months,as well.Mods installed were "oblivion earth Mod" (puts earth in the sky at night) and "Alive Waters",both of which replaced textures,etc.

The game ran perfectly fine UNTIL I installed those 2 mods.

Naturally,I did not back up my data folder before replacing some of the files,which I was prompted to do when installing these 2 mods. Lazy me.

No other games are giving me this problem with color blotches,so its not my vid card. System restore also did not work.

I'm stuck with the game looking horrible due to 2 bad or conflicting mods.

Suggestions,anything other than uninstalling and reinstalling the game,and replugging in the dozens of mods I have running? Unchecking the 2 mods in the data file when starting up the game also does not help...even earlier saved games have this purple-color bllothciness now. Really sucks. HELP!

I'm afraid it sounds like you have missing textures, resulting from the installation of that texture mod (I'm guessing Alive Water is the culprit). Purple is the colour textured surfaces default to when they can't find their associated texture file.

 

The only thing I can think of besides reinstalling, is downloading a BSA manager (you can find them under TESSource utilities - I think most people use Oblivion Mod Manager) and then extracting the Textures BSA file to your Data folder. That should overwrite/replace any of the bad textures. Then, make sure to uncheck Alive Water in the Data Files list before playing.

thanks for the tips. It actually was a combination of things,including the above mod...as well as this dark forest mod.
