This picture isnt very clear...i assume the blood splatter means you killed "stray dog'"? First off: Shame on you! Secondly, you may want to detail what is WRONG with the picture so that people can tell. Just use paint or something to highlight the areas where something isnt, or is, or is where it shouldnt be... give people more specific info, and they can give you a better answer (my answer is ask a more specific question) GL... I hope you get your dogs back!!!

I see an entirely black screen, so cannot really determine what the problem is... Should really do these kinda things with some sort of lighting active, just because you have your gamma cranked up does not mean everyone else does, and as it is an image where the intention is showing a problem, having that problem clearly visible, would seem to be a priotity.

 

That said, what mods do you have installed? Did you recently remove one? do you have any meshes/textures in creatures\dog? Do you have just empty folders? Often, when a retexture is used, then removed, the game will keep trying to access the files in the data folder, when it doesn't find those files any more, it does not display anything. This issue can likely be fixed by extracting the dog and wolf meshesand textures from the .bsa archives, and moving them to your data folder at the proper location.

your problem is coming from a mod that added a new creature, but the mesh/texture wasn't installed properly. I had the same issue with FCOM bats (from MMM) being invisible. You first have to find whatever mod it was that was adding said critter (by disabling all your mods one by one, and whichever one causes the dog to 'disappear' completely was the one) You then have two choices, don't use the mod, or try redownloading and reinstalling it just to be safe. If that doesn't work, I would disable the mod, delete all files off your computer relating to it, and then kindly tell the author about the issue, saying exactly what you did to try to resolve it.

no, its not from a mis-installed mesh, you can see the nostrils element of the dog mesh displayed correctly with the normal map applied as a texture, but that would indicate that the texture path is incorrect and most of the mesh has been deleted or the alpha is on REALLY high

hmm...well i ran qa search through my computer of what mod could create new textures of animals or add new animals, but i drew a blank, any ideas of something i can look for?

in case the other pic didnt help, this one is in daylight, plus i checked up slofs dogs, that isnt the issue, i disabled the mod and yet there the dogs where, or their sounds and eyes. i sorta need help, invisible dogs are attacking cats!
