Purple textures!!!

[WildBrick]

I played with mods for a long time, but then I decided to delete everything in order to increase my achievements, and started a new game. Everything was fine until I started building: many of the concrete structures were purple in places, and the barn elements were all purple. If you know how to fix this, write. I do not deny that I could have accidentally deleted some necessary files from the "Data" folder along with the mods, but I have already checked the files more than once and completely reinstalled the game.

Do you have the High rez texture pack? I was getting blue textures on bodies until I got rid of it

[WildBrick]

No, I didn't install it. I still think that I might have accidentally deleted the textures from the game files, but for some reason they are not adjustable, I also changed the graphics settings, it does not help

If you want achievement, you don't have to get rid of your mods. There are mods that enable the ability to get achievements when using other mods.

If files are missing or broken, you can verify the files through Steam to potentially fix it. Right click the game name in your library, Properties, Local Files, then Verify.

When you reinstalled, did you make sure to remove all files from the folder? Uninstalling the game only removes the files that are supposed to be there - it will not remove any files left over from mods.

1. Yes, I know that there are such mods, but for some reason they no longer work for me, perhaps because of my crooked hands, but I think that this is because of the Next Gen patch, because before it I played with mods and I received achievements.
2. I checked the integrity of the files, as I already said, but it says that all the files are there
3. Which folder should I remove mods from? The thing is that I don’t remember which file is a mod and which file is the game itself. Are you suggesting that I delete all files from the "Data" folder and then reinstall the game?

In a word YES, they are suggesting a clean install.. lots of guides on here, on how to restore it to a vanilla state

If the purple color is in a new game then it's a problem, if the purple color is in the game you are continuing, that save is the problem, continue to work with the old scripts. You need a new game (vanilla) or an old save without those mods. There is no middle ground. If the old saves contain those mods there is no escape.
If you are in a new game then it's different.

Its a known issue with a particular mod if your using concrete with glass, the glass will turn purple as the texture does not load in correctly, and no its not fixable, its also random when it happens, unsure about the barn stuff tho and my game is vanilla, none of the recent updates using mods.

You could have got a mod to enable achievements without having to do what you did in the first place.

I installed Fallout London inside Fallout 4 game folder, the whole game acquired a nice and very dark purple atmosphere.. I don't think this is the case.😆

This has never happened before, I launched a new game and found purple textures

In any case, if I have already broken the game and deleted it, download them again and install the update mod, I'm too lazy, and besides, it didn't work for me, for some reason

Has no one encountered this before? Just tell me what should I do?

You already have been told what to do, now you should just. Do it. Reinstall your game if you're not modding. and if you are modding, make sure that your mods are correctly loading.

This is Fallout London in Fallout 4, mix of textures.

It sounds like you're not using a mod manager. There's your problem. It exists as a middleman to discourage the human from being the error.

purple textures means you are deleted the reference texture for the object. To restore the texture you have to reload it.

IF Verify files is not fixing the issue, then the texture paths were overridden by a mod, and when you deleted the mods, you took out the texture reference. Thus Purple.

You say you deleted your mods? Were you using Vortex or MO2? OR just the Bethesda in game mod menu?

Assuming you using Bethesda's in game mod menu... you're hooped. CONGRATS!!
(this is why you don't use the Bethesda mod menu for mods!)

To fix this requires an you to follow these steps:

1: go into Steam, Uninstall Fallout 4.

2: minimise Steam

3: Navigate to Steam/Steamapps/Common and locate the Fallout 4 folder and DELETE IT.
Yes, the ENTIRE folder.

4: Navigate to My document/my games and locate the fallout 4 folder and DELETE IT.
this will remove all ini, settings, and save games. But you save games had mods so
they are now corrupted, so no point in saving them - they will never work right again
anyways.

5: open Steam and re-install Fallout 4.

6: Test fallout 4.

7: Profit.


IF you want to mod, please go to nexusmods.com Get Vortex or MO2 (your choice) And READ the documentation for your selected mod manager to install and manage your mods. A good mod manager can help avoid these types of issues, and make installing and removing mods easier and almost painless if you remember the rules of modding fallout 4

A: Never install a mod mid-play though.
B: Never REMOVE a mod mid play though.
