Game files overwritten any way to fix it without reinstalling?

[Wraith3]

My nephew plays Fallout on the same PC, different NMM profile. Anyway I think he overwrote the game files because all my BoS power armor paints are BoS Outcast paint jobs. I deleted that mod, but I still have Outcast paint on my armor. I ran the Verify Files thing for Fallout 4 in Steam, but it finds all the files okay. Is there a way to fix this without a complete reinstall?

NMM doesn't always remove the actual files, when you un-install mods, particularly if that mod adds "loose" files to your install directories and not just an .esp. So you'll probably have to manually remove the texture files from the directory.

 

*Verify Files" only looks to see if "vanilla" files are different from the current "official" files. So any and all "loose" files in the install directories are completely ignored. i.e. it won't fix a texture override issue if those textures are loose files somewhere in the data/textures subfolder.

Just go to Data > Textures and look for the textures of that mod and manually delete them. The game draws its vanilla textures from a special file that you need software for to open it. Anything you see in the Textures map is from mods.

Yeah I tried that first and apparently never got the right ones, even though I deleted anything T60. Oh well. He also had some mod that changed the "off" power armor stance, so I have no idea what file that was. I ended up just reinstalling. Next time I'll try a little harder because I didn't know the vanilla game files weren't in the textures folder! I would have nuked all his crap! :happy: Thanks!
