Shivering Isles DLC missing textures

Entire beginning isle/door is missing, getting nothing but missing texture exclamations. Sucks because it's one of my favorite DLCs. Tried verifying, uninstalling/reinstalling, activating/deactivating, etc, and nothing. Anyone else had this issue? Will link screenshot in post

None yet. On a vanilla playthrough since this is the first time I've played Oblivion in close to 5 years

Try deleting your data folder, verify the game files, open up the game again. See what happens.

You're missing meshes. Missing textures usually result in purple models, but you're not seeing models at all.

By this you mean you never had any mods on this particular computer, even before you last attempted to remove the game?

Which DLCShiveringIsles BSA files exist within your Data folder?

Considering I've only had this PC for 3 years, correct.

I haven't done this specifically, but wouldn't un/reinstalling do this?

I know this thread is quite old already but sadly this is the only post I can find about this exact problem. I don't have any mods installed and I have reinstalled the game multiple times to try and fix it. I have also installed it on a different drive and I still have the same issue. I checked my data folder and the DLCShiveringIsles - Meshes.bsa is NOT missing. I don't understand what is causing this problem. If anyone has any clue, please let me know.

EDIT: Okay I feel really really dumb, but in case anyone else has this problem here's what I did. I kept reinstalling etc and then when loading the game it would have many missing textures and meshes. Just now I tried again and Noticed that in the first menu, before the game itself starts, there was a "data files" tab. For some reason I never really noticed this before, thought it was a shortcut to the data folder or something. Once I clicked it however I was met with a list of all my DLC related content. There were little checkmarks by each, unchecked. I checked them, saved and restarted the game and it is working again. I feel really dumb. I thought the only way to deactivate the dlc's was through steam. And there I turned them on. But there you have it. For anyone as silly as me, that solved it.

Lol.
Learning something new everyday is the only way to go.

Yup you need to have the DLC plug-ins enabled (and stay that way for the saves you enabled it for) to not get that error.

I don't remember what I did exactly tbh, but in between me reinstalling the game and fiddling with it, it magically worked.
