Out of all the googling I did and this never showed up, heh. Thanks Essarrbee. I'm using your guide(Mostly) as my setup right now, I'm really anxious to get into it. I'll edit this post here soon after I'm done reinstalling some of these mods, and report a hopeful success. EDIT 1: Alright so I fixed it. I tried reinstalling a few mods here and there with no luck. What worked was strange, I disabled every BSA in the data directory via MO's archive tab. Started the game, got a black screen with the cursor texture being a square. Closed the game. Went to go enable all the BSA's again in MO, when I pulled them up in the archive tab though, they were already enabled again. I started the game again and suddenly the black chest issue was gone all together. Not sure why that worked. But I'll leave this here just in case it might help someone else solve the same issue if they ever come across it.

I knew I forgot to say something! So when I opted to unpack my BSA's in MO, I checked the box that tells MO to remember my selection. So I don't get that prompt anymore when I install mods with BSAs, it automatically unpacks them. Do you know if there's a way I can get MO to prompt me again? Or if there is a setting, maybe in an ini, where I can change it to keep the BSA's packaged instead? Thanks for the quick response. Edit: I decided to go digging in the Mod Organizer.ini file after posting this. I found this: [DialogChoices]unpackBSA=16384 So, normally I would expect this to be like, =1 and not a 5-digit value. Can you go into your Mod Organizer.ini and tell me what your value here is? Assuming you leave your BSA's packaged of course.

Sorry to revive this post, but I've having the exact same issue as VonDoom here. However, when I was installing my mods in MO, I opted for the option to unpack my BSA's instead of keeping them packaged. So because of that, I don't have any mod-related BSA files in the Archives tab of MO to tick to fix this problem the way that VonDoom was able to fix it.(At least, I think that's the reason) Is there some other way I can get the same results here? What are my options? As far as I can tell, this is the final thing I need to get sorted and then I can finally play. Oh, and I have toggled Archive Invalidation multiple times with no change.
