Missing Textures

[MOGrar]

Okie Dokie, here goes, I resently started downloading mods and some of them needed updates for oblivion(purchased version) and the oblivion mod manager. my problem is after the updates some of my textures went missing or for some strange reason dont want to show in the game. exp: corn, clutter book pages, guard boots, kajit tails and argonian tail/spikes for slofs better beasts. i try to download the files again and there missing from nexus and other mirrors and sites, can anyone direct me to a site that still has them or tell me if their just misplaced somewhere in my pc.

I just redownloaded a bunch of texture replacers here, including one that improved corn and other veggies. There are three possible issues here that I can think of. First is you may have downloaded some files which overwrote the textures. I have had that happen and the solutiion is to reinstall them over top of that other mod. Another possibility is that they are not showing up because you have not done a bsa redirect on the texures. You need Oblivion Mod Manager for that.. Most textures files which require this explain how to use OBMM to force the textures to show. Another thing which can cause this to happen is if you use BASH and import graphics into your BASH patch. It's possible if you did that that the original graphics or textures from another mod "won" when you bashed them.

 

My understanding is that Slof has decided to host her own files from now on. You can Google and find her site.

I have fixed the problem of the pages and corn and boots textures by using bsa commander and just extracting them to my ob/data/textures folder, but now im having a wierder problem with the lower class pants 04 files. there is an opening or tare in the lt pant leg wich is making a long texture pull, the mesh is designed to have the tare right, idk, the wierd thing is the texture showing is the penis texture from my better bodies mod, whyyyyy!?! is there any way i can close the mesh myself so it doesnt open or erase the penis from the lt leg, why does it show? BTW slof's hive is a fav of mine.... please help

Ok, I don't use Better Bodies but in general when textures end up in the wrong places on the body there is a conflict between the body mesh you are using and the clothing. Other things that can happen include limbs looking purple or black or people's skin looking like patchwork or iburned or scarred in places. First thing to do is undress the character and check if the body texture is mapping right without the clothing. If it is, you probably have downloaded some incompatible clothing or you have two versions of the same clothing item and one of them overwrote the other one. Did you download any new mods which might reasonably be changing the male lowerclass pants?

 

Questions to ask yourself:

1. Are the skin textures I am using compatible with the body types I am using for male and female? If the skin doesn't say what types of bodies it works with it may or may not map correctly. I see that in the description of Better Bodies it says the file does not contain high res textures for the skin. You have to download those seperately. If you you did that, you might have either downloaded the wrong skin "size" or you might need to run another bsa redirect.

2. Are the clothing and armor sets matching with the body shape this character has? There are some sets on here called "stock." Stock armor and clothing replaces the vanilla clothing with equivalents that fit your custom body. These sets are available for several of the Robert body sizes. Make sure if you are using muscular you use the muscular set, etc.

 

If the problem only happens when the character has clothes on, try using a stock armor set. If it also happens when the character has no clothes, try bsa redirect first, and then if it is still happening, try downloading a skin intended for that particular body shape or reinstall the ones that came with Better Bodies and then do .bsa redirect.

 

If none of the above helps, I'd suggest you contact the author for help. I'm just not familiar with that specific mod and what it may conflict with. You may need to use Wrye Bash to combine some things. The author would know better than I do.

 

Slof's clothing unless otherwise stated uses the Robert Male body *and* the Robert Female body if females can wear it. I'm not sure but I think if you have a different female body installed instead of Robert it could cause some texture problems with some of her mods. I believe some mods for females use the male foot.nif.
