Chrome textures like on Codsworth look grey, tried all the fixes I could find. Is it a mod/mod order problem?

[Deleted1790188User]

So I'm having a relatively common issue where all the chrome textures in the game, like on Codsworth, turn a weird matte dark grey. However, I've tried all the fixes I can find like reinstalling my texture mods and the Vanilla Reflections mod and playing with my load order to no avail. Can anyone help me out? Load order below. Feel free to speak up if you notice anything else wrong with my order too of course, it's much appreciated.

My guess is that it's a cubemap. I looked through a BSA extraction I have of the textures and the cubemaps (as far as I can tell) are located in data/textures/shared/cubemaps. You can check and see if there are any there and if there are try removing them and see if that fixes it. If it does you'll have to pen point which of them is the one causing it. If the cubemap causing it (if it's even being caused by a cubemap) is in a BA2 file it will be trickier to find.
