Khajiit/Tabaxi/Etc Feet and Hand Texture Issues... [Pictures]

[mignspas]

After a couple hours of trying to solve this one on my own, I realized I needed a bit of help from the community.

 

My current installation of Oblivion mods had been going smoothly and every test was fine until I installed the body mods (Roberts 5.2 Muscular / HGEC Fighter D w/ M waist) along with MBP. The important ones are linked below:

Now... Everything seemed fine (I assume that MBP's race text is always just gibberish due to double-byte characters, though), but there's a very annoying texture glitch on the Khajiit and Taxbaxi females localized to the feet and hands. An image of the problem:

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, the hand and feet textures are a bit wonky. I thought this might be true for all Khajiits, but the males are fine:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And when I tried taking off the manacles and sandals, the issue remained:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, please keep in mind that this issue IS NOT limited to just Khajiits. Tabaxi's also have this issue.

 

I've looked into a few possible fixes, but seem to have come up with no actual solutions thus far. Hopefully someone has run into this before and found a workable fix! As is any help at all would be very much appreciated!

I recommend grabbing the Khajiit Female Texture Fix: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/40048/?

[mignspas]

Thanks for the response, gregathit!

 

Though I was hopeful after a read, install, BOSS, and bash... Unfortunately, it didn't work. I have, however, done some additional testing and been able to determine that this is an issue with ALL of the female (vanilla) races and not just limited to the cat-based ones.

 

I got rid of MBP through Wyre Bash's installers as well as Robert and HGEC. All of the races and sexes seem to have had the texture issue (which confuses me greatly )...

 

I then reinstalled Robert Male 5.2 and voila! Males are perfect. Reinstalled HGEC... but because that one has no ESP and relies only on texture/mesh replacements, well, I'm still stuck with this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I know that the textures for HGEC are supposed to be foot based (right?), so I understand if the feet are messing up, but why the hands too? I'm still missing something here...

 

EDIT: Tried popping http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/19021/ on top just in case it was the HGEC Body with BBB v1dot12 not replacing something correctly... and nope. Did not fix. ><

I may not be an expert, but could it be that it's the fact that when wearing the vanilla clothing it replaces your HGEC body with the vanilla one? What I am getting at is that the feet and hands are HGEC, but NOT the body under the clothes. You could try a HGEC clothing and armour replacer, but I'm not sure that is what you're wanting.

 

Also I believe that the Robert body uses vanilla textures, but HGEC doesn't? Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe a texture for the HGEC to match the vanilla textures or something could be needed?

[gregathit]

You need to archive invalidate via bsa redirection with either Wrye or OBMM.  The game is trying to use the vanilla textures that are inside the bsa file and you want it to use the loose files instead.  Archive invalidate and the Khajiit fix will work (as well as all the other races).

OK!

 

Looks like it all came down to me expecting more from the initial texture replacements and THEN screwing things up before being able to fix them.

This was key. Thank you!

 

I was (in the back of my mind) aware that I hadn't installed the HGEC compatible armor replacers yet, but when I saw little vaginas underneath the sandal mesh, I was still confused.

 

Unfortunately, even naked the seems weren't quite lining up. And this was where I had made an error by assuming that they weren't working because of the sandal issue. Because even when I took off all the clothes, it seemed... off. Still, there were toenails I missed originally so the textures were working. They were just BAD textures compared to the high res ones I should have installed on top to do the actual comparison.

Double checked and confirmed that BSA redirection was running. The Khajiit fix did seem to help, though. I'll leave it in for good luck and much appreciated!

I'm glad to have been of service to you. I've had similar problems before, but I just used Setbody to replace the body under the clothes and just left the vanilla clothing change my character slightly before changing the clothes worn when I had them available to me.

 

For me, when all else fails, I just go naked!
