Invisible Mage Apprentice Robe

[Nimius]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with the variants 1 and 2 of the mage apprentice robes. The "base" robe works perfect but the two variants are invisible. I use a mix of several clothing mods like Minidress Collection and ChronoTrigger's Remodeled Armor.

Everything worked fine until I changed the mage apprentice robe (I used the mesh from another mod). Now the variant 1 and 2 are invisible on PC and NPCs.

My backups (I ALWAYS backup) didn't work and the robes are still invisible. Every other robe, armor, etc. works perfect (checked in "qasmoke")

Google told me there might be some misdirection in the CK but that's beyond my modding skills.

 

Does anyone know a solution or can link me to a guide for this problem?

Invisible armor is usually caused by two things:

1. Missing mesh.

2. The more difficult situation: Meshes not properly assigned to armor slots.

 

Especially when using different clothing mods, issues like these can be hard to track down. Basically you have to do it on your own. You know your installtion best.

 

What you can do:

- Doublecheck if the meshes you replaced had the exact same name as the ones they are replacing. Otherwise the game wouldn't find them.

 

- Find out, which mod changes the mage robes in question. Open the plugin in the Constuction Kit.

Look for the robes and check their properties: Armors slot? Where exactly are the meshes located? What's their name?

Regarding armor slots: Look at a robe that works and remember/write down which armor slots it covers. Try to set up the other robes exactly the same way.

The meshes are there, they seem not to be assingned... I'll check in CK

Thanks for the help

 

Edit: Nope... In CK it's fine, BS/OS fine...

Hmm... In cases like these, my approach is to get back to a "somehow working" state before trying anything else.

 

In this case this means reinstalling your clothing replacers the way you did before and trying to get to a point where all robes are visible - even with the undesired mesh. From there on you can try again.

 

BTW, what mod manager are you using? If it is a manager that lets you define overrides on a "per file" basis (Vortex or MO), this would make things easier.

I guess reinstalling is my last option...

I use NMM
