Missing hip textures on CBBE body

[outofpower007]

Read on some other threads that this happens when you don't have a compatible skin type. But I am using Bits and Pieces female skin for CBBE, and don't have anything for other body types installed.

It also doesn't happen to every female character. For example, in the pictures attached, Faralda and Sigrid are fine. The other three have missing textures/deformations around the hips, feet and nipples.

UNP (or other) texture on CBBE, that's your issue.

 

Edit: Guess I should mention that just because you have some specific skin installed, does not mean all actors use it. Custom followers are infamous for using custom races, skeletons, body meshes etc.

Thanks. Is there any way of finding what the problem mod is? As in, which one is contributing the "other" texture. Because just going through my mods, I cannot see what could be causing the issue...

I could just disable 1 by 1 and see, but there must be a more efficient way

1. Open xEdit and load all your mods as-is without changing the order.
2. Find the NPC_ record of one of the affected npcs.
3. Find the RNAM record of this npc and follow it to the RACE record (Ctrl+Click).
4. Inspect the MODL records specifying which body meshes it uses.
5. Locate the actual body mesh file and open it in NifSkope.
6. Go through all BSTriShape nodes and browse to BSLightingShaderProperty -> BSShaderTextureSet.
7. Note down all dds files that do not have a suffix like _msn, _sk or _s.

With all this info you can now decide what to do:

1. If the NPC_ or RACE records were changed by another mod, you can choose whether to disable it or not.
2. Choose to replace the body mesh with another.
3. Choose to replace the texture(s) with compatible ones.
