Getting black textures with solid 60 fps,

[DeBlue]

It could be a mod issue but I don't think so for I saw a tree which had black all over its leaves and when I increased my VRAM (somehow) it showed normal texture. And I'm using the skyrim performance monitor software which says my total VRAM is 2048mb and I'm literally like 10 VRAM or so away according to that program. I've heard about getting Skyrim to 4000mb VRAM but I don't understand how to. I have a ENBlocal.ini file which apparently should help although I don't have ENB installed to begin with so maybe that ini doesn't have any effect then?

Thankful for answers.

It's either a loadorder issue or a mod is overwriting part of another mod.
This is were patches come into play.
Make sure you look over this guide and are familiar with everything and post your load order from LOOT. Before you do anything, restart your computer, it has helped me in the past with this issue.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been trying to solve it before answering. Thanks for the support, I realized my dedicated VRAM is at 2048mb so I clearly can't go above that with Skyrim.

I have 10204mb total VRAM but only 2048 dedicated? Is this the way it's supposed to be? That sounds pretty bad I feel.

Edit: Alright I understand now, my PC has 16 gb RAM therefore the dedicated VRAM can only be 2048 mb. So then I simply need to thin down my active mods. Any ideas what mod? Thank you.

See here, my VRAM is 10 away from going overboard and CTD or black textures will appear. Yes it is a VRAM issue for those black textures in the image above are normal now but I feel like it's gonna change soon: http://imgur.com/a/FI4h7

To start that is not the load order from LOOT. I don't use MO but you have to make both pains match somehow. Right side is what LOOT did and left side needs to match? You'll have to look that part up.

Grab ENB for the boost, this will bypass the game engines limits. Follow this guide or STEPs if you Google it.
You basic settings for this 2 lines should be.
ReservedMemorySizeMb=256
VideoMemorySizeMb=4086
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=653119731
Another plus of ENB you'll be able to clear vram by using default hotkey, I believe if is F4.

Also be sure you add the SKSE ini tweak.

With the 770 make sure you have no 4k mods, 2 many 2k mods will hurt fps.

Your good with bashed patch and rs patch. I did not look at all the mods because load order is more important. Do the 3 things up top and see how it works.

[DeBlue]

Well now I played a good amount of time without any crashes but that one khajeet caravan male outside of Whiterun causes CTD upon trying to trade... I have no idea what could cause this since other merchants has been working fine?

[Alkpaz]

All textures missing = purple in game. Texture missing but normal map present = black, But normal map ( ..._n.dds) missing but texture present = CTD.

[Corinze]

You should make a TES5Merged patch. This is a good video for MO.

https://youtu.be/BtLolEgVMTg

you'll have to rebuild your bashed patch afterward, then your dual sheath followed by RS patch. Test that and see if it works. If not post the LOOT load order so we can see how mods are loaded in game. Top right corner/ 3 vertical dots/ copy to clip board while in LOOT.

[DeBlue]

You're right, I do have the SE but I don't play it here no, although my game doesn't crash anymore, well until yesterday that I had gone ctd free a long time in houses, areas, speaking with merchants etc etc BUT that one Khajiit caravan merchant outside of whiterun causes CTD upon asking about what he sells... Any ideas? Fortunatly it's fairly trivial although I'm afraid this will cause more merchants to CTD and since I need merchant badly for a skinning knife and a map it's pretty bad really.

Very good information. Thanks.

My god... I remember watching this some time ago when I attempted to play a modded skyrim and think I failed hard and lost faith and rage quitted until recently when I started again and this video saved me actually, I mentioned above that I had that Khajiit crash but by simply cleaning everything it magically worked! I'm still pessimistic about modding in general since my many attempts of failing but so far, I have a fairly modded game with lots of new stuff to immerse me more in this game unlike vanilla which was VERY dull IMO.

I was epic in its own way and introduced me the TES series and so I played Arena and Daggerfall. Tried Oblvion and Morrowind but couldn't get into those and mainly because IMO those vanilla experienced sucked major and even though I modded Morrowind without crashes which was great but still it failed to interest me much for that combat system...

And Oblivion was really cool, the invasion whole crisis was much better than the dragon plot in Skyrim IMO but I think I failed to mod it and it required pretty much the same patience as Skyrim and Skyrim just takes the cake in terms of gameplay, story? Not so much.

ps: sorry if I spammed 3 comments here but I feel like one comment each for a person is easier to navigate to somehow but idk maybe not, I can edit all into one if recommended.

full black textures are a VRAM issue use http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801/? (make a backup) and install the SKSE memory fix,also as stated above your load order isn't sorted properly

[Corinze]

I'm glad a few more chimed in about this. I got the black face on my GTX 750ti every once in a while. Either rebuilding my patches or restarting Skyrim corrected it in most cases. My thinking was more along Alkpaz line of reason.
I too was sitting on that boarder line I guess. gimus thanks for youtube link, I watched part of it before but never completed watching it. If I did I would have seen why I had issues with skyrim monitor. I'm going to get it working this time, lol.

At OP welcome to modding Skyrim :) playing the game is just a side quest, getting all your mods working together is the achievement- lol.
