Purple texture help!

[vitaminwaterxxx]

I downloaded a follower from an independent Korean website. Everything is fine, but her brow are purple, what does this mean? I thought independent follower are suppose to have everything, unless google translate is trolling me. How do i find what mod she's missing if so?

Purple means missing/misplaced texture file/files.

 

Look under data/meshes/actor/character and see if the follower is there then load up the eyebrow nif in nifskope if there is one and in their folder and click the eyebrow and then find BSShaderTextureSet below the highlighted line in the left list and click the arrow to the left of it to get the drop down then double click the blank area to the right of the purple flower looking thing and check the texture path for the eyebrows with the texture path in your skyrim folder both should match if not change it in the nif and then save as to overwrite the nif. If the texture file is not there try searching for the texture file using the search bar and see if it is misplaced.

Wait what's nif? What is nifskope? what's BSSshaderTextureSet. Dammit, I didn't knew it was so much work for a missing texture. I'm a total noob at these texture thing, I think I have to let this follower go :[ Here I thought where was a mod that locate and name missing texture. Thank for a quick responds.

http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope/Documentation_And_Tutorials this is nifskope.  Nifs are what are found in your skyrim mesh folder nifs hold the model. Body/armor/ weapon. Loading those up will show you what they look like. Textures are mapped to different parts of a mesh to make the outfit look the way that it does in game.

Makanan I think? Here http://devillord.tistory.com/1301 . If I can't find the missing texture, is there a way I can replace it with what I have?

I wish everyone answered posts this informatively.  Got me started on solving my issues and taught me something about modding.
