GowiHasti Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yes, it sounds like the game isn't finding your mesh and/or texture folders. If you go into your Skyrim/Data folder, are they there? If so, is there anything in them? Is your Skyrim install in a folder with full read/write permissions?Yes, they are there and the files are inside. Probably not full permission as its in C Program Files (x86), but so was my old one though I can not remember if I did anything to the folder at the time, it was around 4 years ago. I have a major problem! My old computer failed and I had to get a new one. I installed Skyrim on it like I did the old one, copied the folder contents from my old PC over (I had it backed up from not too long ago thankfully and didn't want to loose any of my mods including some private ones) and then I loaded the game and found none of my mods are working! The custom outfit I was wearing is invisible, the underwear replacer even though in the same place only shows up only as default. I double checked installation folder, re installed and still same problem! What can I do?! I am literally at my wits end! WTH is going on?! Are the file paths to your Skyrim\Data folder the exact same as the file paths to your old Skyrim installation? Yup, thats why I don't get it and why I am so confused and lost as to whats going on? Should I actually TRY installing to another folder or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurusmaximus Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I would scrub your data folder,reverify your game cache with Steam, and start using a mod manager of some kind. It makes these kinds of things easier to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GowiHasti Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 OK then I have another big question. What do I do about the private mod I created for myself that I was still working on which my saved games have dependencies on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saurusmaximus Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Copy the .esp and any associated texture/mesh/script files to another location before starting over. When you get up and running again, package everything into a .zip file and install it like any other mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadToRegister Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Did you also copy the GAME to your new computer?Because you need to install it in order for the registry entries to be correct.Also, don't forget that your INI files in C:\users\YOUR NAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim folder also contain all the info about file paths etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we found the problem.... in my .ini files the only file path I see anything about is regarding save game path. It should be more than that right?

Yea, it should contain the paths of the BSA files, the audio, video settings, it should contain a TON of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how that happened but surely that must be it. So, where do I find a proper copy to adjust, or what shall I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
