Skyforge Steel Arrows Untextured

[jpelle12]

I posted a topic yesterday about not being able to get Skyrim VR to run properly with mods; I finally have sorted it out (mostly) after hours of research an work, but still left with untextured Skyforge Steel Arrows. This is more of an annoyance than anything, but since I worked so hard to get everything running, I'd prefer if it all ran smoothly. Here's my mod list uploaded from MO2 (idk how to sort in load order but load number is next to each plugin):

I honestly just want to play the game, I'm a step away from disabling all mods and just playing Vanilla. I have put 10x the amount of time fixing and researching these mods than actually playing the game I was so excited to play. Any help greatly appreciated!

I'm going to guess it's amidianborn book of silence - weapons. I just looked in that directory and, unless I'm missing something, the skyforge arrow meshes call for a skyforge arrow texture that isn't present in the mod. Probably just an oversight, but I think it's why your arrows aren't showing up.

 

Unfortunately, that's an .esp mod, so it's not as easy as simply deleting the arrow mesh and letting vanilla take over, but what you can do for a quick fix is use a .bsa browser to go into your data folder and open Skyrim - Meshes1.bsa and expand the tree to weapons > steel. Extract steelarrow.nif and steelarrowflight.nif. Easiest way to do that, if using BSA Browser, is highlight them both, right click and "extract folders." It will ask where you want to put them, and just stick them in a safe, easy place like desktop.

 

Once there, open them up and open your mod location. Should be data > meshes > weapons > skyforge. You should see meshes for SkyforgeSteelArrow.nif and SkyforgeSteelArrowFlight.nif. Change the names of your newly-extracted vanilla arrows to match those, then use the new vanillas to replace those in that folder. This will fool the game into using the vanilla arrow mesh where it wants skyforge arrows, and the mesh will call for the vanilla textures by default.

 

*edit* Ok, scratch all that. The skyforge arrow texture does seem to be missing in book of silence, but it is present in both brown and gray versions of the wolf armor mod (also by Cabal120.)

So you can fix it easier, by downloading one of these versions. Open up the archive and cut all three arrow textures, then paste them into your current skyforge weapons folder. Data > textures > weapons > skyforge...

 

Hope that helps.
