Missing Meshes

[Necronomicon]

Hello I recently got Morrowind and a few mods with it, but when I get into the game I get a pop-up saying "Model Load Error: Meshes\A\a_impchain_greaves_k.nif cannot load file in Meshes\A\a_impchain_greaves_k.nif." and at first I figured "cant be that big of a deal" and continued but the guards on the boat all have exclamation marks on them and I have no idea what to do.

One thing you can do is copy & paste "Meshes\A\a_impchain_greaves_k.nif" into your browser & search. I just did that & found several links that talk about this problem. There are various solutions.

For missing meshes, I have found the exact missing mesh in a sub folder in the Meshes main folder. If the file isn't where the game is looking for it, there will be a problem. If you find it already in your meshes folder, you can just make a copy of it & paste it into the location it wants so you have 2 files.

You can also try finding the missing mesh in another download. Or, I have also taken a very similar mesh, copied it, renamed it, and put that in the spot it wants.

If you don't have that many mods, try disabling them & testing them one at a time to see which mod is causing the problem.

Also, if you are using mods, you are also hopefuly using Wrye Mash & MLOX, which can alert to some problems and conflicts.

Also, when you have an issue, posting your load order list can also be helpful. Some people can just look at the load list and spot problems.

Anyway, hope that helps.

That means that you haven't installed your mods properly. You have some .esp plugin files set to load without corresponding meshes\textures.

This can be true, but I have also seen plenty of mods where there is only 1 missing file and it isn't in the download folders. I manually install all my mods and I still run across this problem occassionally.

However, you raise a good point. One place to look is the contents of the download file itself. If the missing file or files is in one of the folders in the download, then it definitely didn't install right.

However, you still need to narrow down which mod is causing the problem. One thing you can try for that is to open the console using the ~ key, click on the offending object, & type ORI, then enter. That usually will tell you the source of the object/NPC. This is very helpful if it is coming from a mod.

I opened Mlox and there is this
[REQUIRES]
!!!'TR_Mainland.esm' Requires:
> 'MISSING(TR_Data.esm)'
[REQUIRES]
!!!"Vality's Balmora Addon.esp" Requires:
> "MISSING(Vality's Bitter Coast Addon.esp)"
| (Ref: "Vality's Balmora Mod.txt")

I got Tr_Data
and I thought Valitys mod came from MSGO?

I figured it out, It was in fact just in the wrong area so thank you for pointing out that possibility, am excited to get in the game
