Question on Textures (probably for moders)

[Teytame]

Hello guys. I have recently converted this outfit to SE. Not much experience in that field, with a couple of successes but I'm still learning.

Here is my predicament. At a close look the outfit looks as it should, but when zooming out, this happens:

 

 

 

 

 

The shirt is white, except of a wide belt, or rather corset, and it turns completely black at farthest point. Can someone tell me please what might be causing it and how to fix it?

~Thank you in advance.

That's most likely caused by you running out of Vram (video ram).

 

A1: The longer you play, the more RAM/VRAM gets used up. After a while of playing, especially if you use higher-res textures such as CBBE, there isn't enough RAM/VRAM to load the textures. This was a very common issue at the beginning of Skyrim modding, before the 4GB mod and BethSoft's LAA patch. It is recommended you have a decent video card and more than 4GB RAM to help prevent this from happening. If you can't, then simply restarting Skyrim should solve the issues for a while. You can also go into an interior cell, open the console, and enter 'pcb' to purge cell buffers and free up memory.

 

A2: The body textures weren't saved with mipmaps originally, which can cause the body textures to go black. You can fix this by downloading and installing the 'mip maps' file for your body mod, found in the optional downloads.
