Disappearing Structures

[PieWasHere]

I'm having an issue with stone buildings. Basically the outer walls/floor are gone, I don't think its a texture issue as I'd assume I'd still bump into the invisible objects. So far I've only noticed it around Bleak Falls Barrow as I'm playing a new save with a fresh install of all my mods. I don't use very many mods that effect buildings so I'm not sure what's causing it. I would over look the issue if it didn't seem to delete actual buildings. That bandit tower outside BFB is missing the floor and outside walls so there's no way to get to the third floor. One bandit endlessly walks into the building just to fall through the floor then walk back to the entrance and repeat. If it happens to other structures it could make my save unplayable. I've tried uninstalling ELFX, CoT, Better dynamic snow, no snow under roof mods and none of them seem to cause it. I don't think it's a LOD problem either as the building only disappear after I get close to them.

 

I added a screenshot of the bandit tower and my load order is below sorted by LOOT. I have a lot of mods but I've never encountered this error before. I also use SKSE and ENBoost v308

Invisible objects are usually caused by missing meshes. Missing textures result in pink, but visible objects. I doubt this will affect other buildings, too. As i see it, it's just a missing mesh for this type of guard towers.

 

When troubleshooting, you should focus on mods adding meshes.

In your case I only see "No snow under the roof" and SMIM, that add meshes. But OFC I may have overlooked something.

 

What you can do:

1. Check if there's a compatibility patch for "No snow under the roof" and SMIM and if you got this patch.

2. Reinstall mods adding textures and/or meshes: General rule for SMIM is: Install it before any mods adding textures and/or meshes. If prompted, let other mods overwrite SMIM.

Try reinstalling following this rule and see, if it helps.

I reinstalled SMIM and then no snow under the roof which had an update that included a patch for SMIM. Everything seems to be in working order now! Thanks @Algabar
