SkyrimPlayer13 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hey, everyone! Recently, I have been trying to get the TESV texture pack running, because in conjunction with the antifreeze patch, it is said it will allow weak PCs to run Skyrim.Well, I installed both and WOW, lag was ALMOST history...but a lot of textures were missing. Most notably, textures for skin and fog have vanished. I know that, because human's faces are bright purple in game, and instead of fog on the loading screen, I get huge purple boxes. To install the texture pack, I condensed the texture pack I downloaded from this site into a .bsa file, named it with the same name as Skyrim's original pack, and switched the .bsa files in Skyrim/Data.I'm not totally sure how you're supposed to use texture packs, so my problem may stem from the fact that I installed it improperly, but anyway... I would be most appreciative if someone could tell me what's going wrong here, and more importantly, how to do this correctly! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 From the mods description page: Installation Download the packages you want to use, extract it to a temporary location and then copy or move the included Textures folder into your \Skyrim\Data\ folder. The Reduced Texture Pack seems to be very outdated, maybe it's not compatible with newer versions of Skyrim. This could result in missing textures.

SkyrimPlayer13 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is there a less outdated version of that texture pack?If not, is it possible to supplement the missing textures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It was just a guess. I'm not really sure if the missing textures are from this mod, but they could. Did you install it like it's told in the description? If yes, and the texture bug remains, you can also try Vanilla Reduced Textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumaan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Maybe go here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9080 and get this mod, and when installing it only use the "Full 1024 (AKA Standalone)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyrimPlayer13 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I installed the TESV Reduced Texture pack like it said, but it had no effect.Placing the textures in the data folder in ProgramFiles(x86)/Skyrim/Data doesn't work. I'll try those other texture packs you mentioned, though. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
