mbozier Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 i wonder if anyone can help me.i am experiencing some frustrating issues with my textures. especially trees and clothing. they just seem to appear very bland with no detail whatsoever, they almost look blurry. i am using some hd texture mods such as skrim HD full v1.5 (landscape, town, dungeons and misc mods), improved NPC clothing, HD high res armours and skyrim flora overhaul, yet they dont seem to be making any difference whatsover. i have uninstalled the mods, loaded my game, reinstalled the mods, loaded the game but there is no visual difference between having them active or not. i dont think there are any confliction issues as i have had these installed before and working perfectly. (i have just recently done a clean reinstallation of all mods and skyrim). if anyone can help sort this it would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbozier Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 ive attempted to sort this myself but still cant work out what the hell is going on. i have uninstalled the game, uninstalled ALL mods and deleted the skyrim folder in steam (to get rid of any potential files that were still hanging around and possibly causing issues). i have reinstalled the game alone (no mods) loaded a save to look at the textures and see how they look unenhanced . i quit the game and activated the skyrim HD 2K texture pack v1.5 only to make sure there was no conflict with any other mod and reloaded my game. ive checked the textures, but they dont seem to have changed in the slightest. i dont know wether its because the mods arent loading properly or not reading the texture files, because im still able use new armours and weapons etc (when the mods are active) but the textures just look s***!! heres a list of the texture mods im using if this helps in anyway????better malesbetter femalesCBBE skin texturecovereyesdetailed facesenhanced blood texturesenhanced night colour galaxy - - - not sure if this is texture mod or not, i just put in the list in caseenvision face large lips for cbbeHD resolution armours parts 1 and 2improved npc clothing high res plus expansion packlush treeslush grasslush trees (skyrim flora overhaul compatibility patch)skyrim flora overhaul hi res v15askyrim HD - 2K texture packstatic mesh improvement mod all installed using NMMi have tested them all individually and together but nothing seems to work (no obvious visual change at all)this whole problem seems to have started since i moved steam (and all games) onto a much larger harddrive. all the relevant directories are aimed at where they should be. the mods were working fine before i did this so i dont know what the hell is happening. so to recap - ALL other mods are working fine except for any texture mods. they just appear incredibly flat, dull, and blurry (standard game graphics) with no obvious visual change at all.i apologise for repeating myself, but id like to make it as clear as i can and hopefully get some help, because im at a deadend with this now. it doesnt stop me playing the game but it annoys me that i know i can play a much better looking game.....any help will be appreciatedthanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Ok, so at one point your visuals were looking good, then after you moved steam to a different hard drive, that is when you noticed the loss of detail?Have you looked at your prefs.ini? It is possible to increase the level of detail by changing some .ini values, but Steam frequently reverts back to the default, so if you had it looking good at one point, steam may have changed it. If you haven't already, you might check out the Geforce tweak guide. Most of it is still relevant a year later, and most of it is good for any driver, not just NVidia. The only other thing I can think is that some people have had some issues with certain Radeon drivers. I have NVidia, so I can't help you there, but I know there have been some posts about some radeon drivers working better than others... Sorry I kinda hoped someone with better ideas might jump in, but I felt bad that no one had, so this is the best I can come up with. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
