[reignskyrim]

I'm having this issue where there is a red triangle with an exclamation point around them in game. It looks like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/dYGu5pg

It's unlikely to be a load order issue. This is probably happening because the game is trying to equip them with a visible item, like armor, with a missing mesh. You're gonna have to figure out which mod makes it go away when you remove, then do a full re-install of the mod.

[reignskyrim]

Alright it appears it was armor smith extended, but when I did a full reinstall, it didn't work, do I have to reload a save?

[reignskyrim]

Reloading a save won't work either

[jkruse05]

Well, that error is typically caused by a missing mesh, it shouldn't be tied to a save unless that save is corrupt and can't read the mesh file for some reason. So yes, I guess you can try that, but no guarantees it will clear up. I suggest you try killing and looting an NPC with that error, then equip all their items and see which item causes the same error on yourself, then report the problem, with evidence, in the bugs section of AE's page.

The other thing you can try is installing AE as loose files, instead of as .ba2 compressed archives. Use the Bethesda Archive Extractor and extract all files from 'Armorsmith Extended - Main.ba2' and 'Armorsmith Extended - Textures.ba2' straight into your Data folder. They'll end up taking up more room, but sometimes that method works if the game isn't reading a file properly. Actually, do just the 'Main' archive first and see if that works, if it doesn't, then try it with the 'Textures' one as well.

SInce I'm not very far in, could I just start a new game? I don't have the slightest clue on how to use the BAE

That won't help. The error will just reappear when you encounter another NPC with that item

 

When is the last time you downloaded AE? I know they just had an update not too long ago. Maybe someone has already reported this and a fix is on the way (or already made)

[reignskyrim]

Well I just uninstalled the version I had to update to the new version, but of course, the issue is still not resolved in my game. I don't think anyone has reported this bug, and it's strange that it would appear on both versions.

[reignskyrim]

Apparently this issue is only affecting DC guards. I found the exact line causing the issue in Fo4Edit, but I'm not sure how to delete it.

Is the triangle on the supermutant? If so, try reinstalling whatever mod is altering the supermutant.
