Help?

[PixiePrincess501]

I just realized that some sprites, such as the pearl, certain furniture, new hats and the fish you can get at the submarine seem to be missing. They all look like a purple rectangle. I do have a few texture mods, but none of them are supposed to mess with fish (the hat may be a consequence of the Kawaii Hats mod, tho). Is there a way to fix this? Maybe I can find these missing sprites online and patch them into my game?

Odds are your texture mod is out of date. You'd either need to wait for the modder to update the mod, or find a new mod - I have no idea how you'd fix it yourself.

It certainly sounds like you're using an old texture mod. As they modified an old spritesheet, the game simply doesn't have the textures of the new content in its files. The only way to fix it would be to take out all the modified spritesheets, verify cache to redownload the updated, vanilla spritesheets, then take the updated versions and use an image editor to put the modified textures where they were before the update. You'll then have to pack the updated sprites into xnbs so that the game can properly read them.

All of this could be done relatively easily, and I'm sure there's modding guides to assist you should you need help. Alternatively, you could wait for mod authors to update mods and verify cache/reinstall to overwrite all your mods and bring the game back to a vanilla state, complete with all textures.

Hmm, OK, I'll give it a go. Thank you! :3

OK, good news!! I figured it out (after reinstalling everything twice...man... T_T)

I'll post what happened in case anyone else goes through this:
It turns out, I had a mod that replaced the Crystal Paths. This one in particular replaced the Maps\springobjects.xnb, which, not being a Content Patch download, nor updated for 1.3 of the game, kinda removed the new objects in a "Missingno" kind of way. (FYI, Maps\springobjects.xnb includes fish sprites, the new ones were there.)
Guys, if you want to mod this game, try to make sure the mods are updated for version 1.3, or at least be Content Patcher mods. I learned this the hard way, so I hope this is helpful :3
