Need help fixing glowing textures.

[kieyrofl]

Basically, i downloaded the elven eternal shine mod (non glowing version) here

The armours work fine, but all the elven weapons have a very bright blue glow like this and this.

I tried reinstalling skyrim, deactivating the mod, deleting all the files from the mod, downloading new elven retextures and overwriting.

Nothing seems to fix it.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Well the texture file would be here.

 

Skyrim\Data\Texture

 

Now typically unless by freak accident like what happened to me last night....wait for it

 

When you uninstall the game vai STEAM your mods stay there, unless your gamer tag is Gamefever in which case Fate decides that uninstalling the Construction Set means delete everything from the Skyrim folder :wallbash:

 

So even though you uninstalled the game the files are still in Skyrim\Data\Textures

 

just go in there to

 

Skyrim\Data\textures\Armor\Elven\ they will be here

Yeah, i tried deleting the "textures/armor/elven" folder then replacing it with another texture mod, the glow remained.

Is it possible that the mod changed a ini file or something, that isn't in the textures folder?

To make something glow that normally doesn't it takes an altered mesh, the reflectivity has to be changed. So just deleting the textures will not do it, if it uses glow maps (texture name_g) and they are deleted it will make the whole item glow instead of portions. Delete the meshes that the mod adds and it should fix it.

texture folder

meshes folder

 

I replaced the mesh folder with another mod, but the (now extremely annoying) glow is still there.

I am completely out of ideas, I could try deleting all the mods I have, including Nexus MM, but that would be massively inconvenient, and im not even sure that would work.

 

Not sure if this is relevant, but when I try to "verify file integrity" on steam, i always get this message.

Just putting this here for anyone else who experiences this problem.

I disabled cloud sync through steam

I then uninstalled nexus mod manager, and skyrim through the control panel.

This seems to have fixed the issue.
