Purple textures on chandeliers and candle holders

[EwokalypseNow]

If the title didn't already gave it away, I'm having a problem with textures and/or meshes in my game. It appears that chandeliers and candle holders suffer from the common purple textures issue.

 

Strangely enough, only chandeliers, candle holders and etc. suffer from purple textures. It would seem that only chandeliers and candle holders in castles and keeps suffer from this (i.e. Blue Palace, Dragonsreach and possibly other locations which I haven't checked.) I've sorted my load order with LOOT, cleaned my game with TES5Edit, but the problem still persists. Anyone know a possible fix?

 

Here's my load order. I sorted it with loot and have not touched it ever since.

Purple objects mean missing textures. If i had to bet, I'd say SMIM and/or ELFX. With SMIM, installation order (not load order!) matters sometimes. Correct way with your setup would be: SMIM first, then ELFX (with SMIM patches checked). if you use any texture replacers apart from the official high res packs, they should also be installed after SMIM, together with SMIM patches (if there are any).

 

 

If this doesn't solve the problem, you will have to find the meshes of the chandeliers and candles (with the CK or by logic and guessing), open them with NifSkope and see, where the textures should be. Then you have to find the actual location of said textures and either copy them to the location specified in Nifskope or change the texture path in Nifskope accordingly.

Yes! It finally worked. Thank you ever so much.

I've run into the same issue, would you be able to outline exactly what you did @SharkyBytesz as I'm uber new to all this jargon.

 

Thanks in advance!

In my case, I uninstalled Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM) and Enhanced Lighting and Effects (ELFX), after which I reinstalled them in the correct order; SMIM first and then ELFX with the SMIM patches enabled. In your case, if you have any texture packs installed (Skyrim 2K, etc.) other than the official High-Res texture pack by Bethesda, they should be installed after SMIM, but since I didn't use any texture pack mods at the time, that step was irrelevant for me.
