Light boots texture problem

[NeoKingArthur]

Hello,

 

I'm experiencing a problem that I don't understand. I suppose it has something to do with a conflict with a mod. But I don't know where it comes from. The problem is on Light boots that Companions and NPCs wear. It usually only happens when I quick load a save file and can easily fixed by Unequipping and re-equipping the boots. But those worn by NPCs can't be done in a similar way. I'll attach how it looks like when the problem occurs on the left and what it should look like on the right. It's a minor problem but very annoying.

 

I was wondering someone else ever had the same problem and probably have any insight as to what might have caused it?

So the obvious question is... What texture mods are you running? :whistling:

[NeoKingArthur]

I don't exactly use any texture mods that changes the textures. Only some that is used for custom armors. I don't think I used any other texture mods for light boots though. I do use a HSLI armor replacement mod for the female light armor. But I thought it was only used for light armor and not the boots. And if the textures are the problem, how come I could simply unequip and reequip the boots and it shows up correctly.

 

I just realised that I posted in the wrong category, it should be in Mod Troubleshooting instead of DA Tech Support... Maybe moderator can move it if this is a problem. I apologise for the inconvenience.

Sorry, I meant "What mods are your running that include any changes to textures?" Obviously something is a affecting them in an unusual way.

 

Does the problem go away if you remove your mods?

 

The normal troubleshooting process (after listing your mods by name to see of anyone knows of a specific issue with one or more of them) is to delete them all and return to the vanilla game. Then reload them one-by-one, testing each time until you identify the culprit. :thumbsup:

Yea, the amount of mods I have is what prevents me from identifying the correct culprit. I could just remove all my mods completely, but even if it does work solving the problem. I still wouldn't know which mod caused the problems. Maybe it was the Rules fixpack mod, but then again I never had a problem with that texture thing when I play using it last time. Even during Leliana's song never had the same problem. But maybe it's because Leliana is flagged as the "main character" for that campaign and in Origins, she's just flagged as a "companion" and NPC since my Warden never had the boots problem ever even when leliana's boots are whiten that way.

 

I'll have to try to remove one by one from the hundreds of mods I have and see if they make a difference. That'll take a while though, and given the minority of the problem to even affect gameplay. I'm simply inclined to just bear with it and temporary fixing it by unequipping and reequipping the boots. Thanks for the advice, I'll see if I can find what caused it.
