Missing calves in college of winterhold

[Axengrind]

Some of the mages at the college have missing ankles, can't quite work out what i'm missing that is causing this. I've read somewhere that it will be because the engine thinks their cloths are longer than they are so hides their calves, ankles and shoes are still there though.

 

Am I missing a mod somewhere? Not game breaking but just annoying at times.

Invisible clothing/armorr is usually caused by missing meshes. There are these special "college boots" almost everyone in the College of Winterhold is wearing. Look for a clothing/armor mod that changes this boots,

 

I had an issue like this some time ago. If I remeber right, it was some compatibility issue with the CBBE version of "The Book of UUNP" and another mod. Adjusting my load order and creating a "smashed patch" with "Mator Smash" fixed it.

If Algabar suggestion doesn't work get a mod that lets you take a NPCs stuff. Remove stuff one at a time until the calves come back. Note which item was the problem and look it up using Xedit. The problem is the item thinks it should be covering the calves so yow will remove slot 38 (calves) from the item.

 

Side info, you know how some hats remove hair and some hats don't remove hair. Hair is basically a hat that can't be removed. So if you want a hat and want to see hair at the same time you change the slot the hate uses. Many mod makers will have different versions of the same item but with different slots. For example I have masks where one takes a ring slot, one takes a amulet slot, and one takes some other slot.

 

Also note if you aren't using a bash patch, merged patch, and/or a smash patch you are going to have problems.

Glad you mentioned this. I'm having the same issue and suspected the Book of UUNP (which I use). Off to investigate.

Thanks!

Late answer: If the default body used, doesn't have the 38 Calves set as partition. They won't show up when needed.

Same counts for 34 (ForeArms) and long gloves.

 

Could be an 'old' LE UUNP or CBBE nif converted to SE-nif. LE doesn't use these slots (34 & 38).

 

Solution: Copy your femalebody_*.nif to the location of the NPC that's having this issue.

Or build one with BodyBuilder
