Pawns Invisible?

[Zebulon Pike]

I don't have any body-modification mods, no exotic races, no weird mods, though I do have the Immortal (highlander-style) mod enabled. Is there some sort of known issue? Thanks.

Just play around with testing mods till you find the one causing it. Takes time yes but you'll be able to play after

I am also having this issue, every pawn is invisible but I can still see their names. Were you able to fix it?

Also have the same issue, will post here if I figure out what it is.

I had the same problem.

It went away when I disabled "Animal Gear" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1541438907

Thanks! No idea why that's what was doing it, as it's not popping up in my error log, but that did the trick.

So this is happening to me on the same mod set where previously it did not. Absolutely nothing has changed in the mod list. I did add this mod but it broke all of my non-vanilla sprites.

But then I removed the mod and reverted to a save before installing the mod and now pawns are invisible all over including vanilla pawns. What gives?

Character Editor didn't cause your issues, it doesn't change in game pawn rendering it's just a tab for editing pawns and items. It's part of my debugging kit for the game specifically because it's so detached from the main game menu and is mostly just a UI representation of vanilla dev tools. You likely had a different mod update or get removed from the workshop causing your issues. Sort your subscribed mods by date updated and see if that turns up anything.

This is the latest item that turns up and it was working absolutely fine just before I tried to install Character Edit for the first time.

Removing this mod or character edit has so far not fixed the problem.

If removing a mod and starting a new save doesn't fix it then you can rule that mod out as the cause. Mods don't ever touch the base game files so when a mod is disabled you can be certain it's not influencing your game any more.

I would continue checking other mods that have recently updated. That said as a hunch I would suggest unsubscribing from and resubscribing to Vanilla Expanded Framework, when VE mods update or new ones come out they often update the framework in a subtle way that tends to cause Steam to decide not to automatically update it, and this can suddenly cause all sorts of major issues in your game. VEF does alter pawn rendering, and there is an option related to that in the mod options for it you can also try toggling on/off.

Beyond that a hugslib log would be required for further advice, and I wouldn't suggest continuing to seek help in a necro'd thread because it's likely to be locked shortly.

I have a similar issue, but instead of pawns it's simple meals, and fine meals are invisible for some reason. I only 6 mods enabled, and disabling them did nothing as they are still invisible. Guessing its a game bug on this save?

I found the culprit. It wasn't a new mod or even an updated mod. It was an old mod that was always poorly coded and all the little ♥♥♥♥-ups in the background just finally amounted to a major failure of icons to render.

and what you did? wich mod was the problem

I have this issue on brand new saves, but it is fixed by doing "Quit to menu" and loading the save again. I think it might be prepare carefully mod in my case.

Don't worry about it.

Seriously though it was a mod not even from Steam.

Hello! This is an old post, but for any people that still have problems with this, try disabling "HD Pawn Rendering", or lowering the resolution of it in mod settings.
