NPC's missing skin textures, or have invisible bodies

[Damedic8r]

So everything is working fine, then all of a sudden i notice random npc's have no hands. i remove their items and find just a floating head and a penis hanging in the air, and nothing i do seems to fix it. On the other hand other random npcs have their bodies but are entirely purple. i have tried reinstalling my skin mods, uninstalling them all together but nothing works

Sounds like you broken your game with the mod. You may have to do a clean uninstallation and reinstall the game to fix it now..or delete the old saves you used with this mod. I suggest also waiting to what others suggest what you do. Do none of the above until you see what other people suggest to fix it. Also, please post a mod list of all the mods you use.

Found the source of the problem. it was a mod called Race based textures. i didnt even know i had it installed but the moment i removed it all my skin textures came back

Glad you found the problem but RBT is not a plug and play mod. If a search leads someone to this thread, go back to the mod description page and follow the instructions. The Mod Author even included a troubleshooting guide.

The characters have seams on their necks/wrists:
Seems like you matched some textures up wrong.
Remember that normal maps (files ending in "_msn.dds") have to match up too.
If you are absolutely certain, that you did everything right, put an entry in the Bugs-section.
Don't forget to tell me which race has the problem.

Parts of the characters are invisible/purple:
Either you didn't put all required files in the dedicated folders or didn't read the Loadorder instructions. This one is probably on you.


I don't understand how to make it work:
Write a comment with what is too complicated, maybe I'll update the instructions.

I have seen a mod just like this before, this is outrageous:
I know I know, but the other mods that do the exact same thing as RBT either ignore faces or have some other features that I just don't want.
Except for EBD/zEBD, which is actually superior in every aspect except simplicity, so you may want try it instead of RBT.
