Missing textures - which mod is the cause?

[AA4RC31]

Hello everyone,

sorry to bother you with this probably frequently asked question, but I couldn't find a solution.

(I'm playing Skyrim for the first time and directly started with the step guide v2.3 - with a few deviations to play the game in German)

Everything seems to work more or less as intended (at least I couldn't find anything that looks wrong so far), but there are some weird looking rocks that I assume aren't supposed to look like that (sorry, I never played the game in vanilla). I suspect there are some textures missing as these rocks are very big and just white without any detail.

I did some research and used the ‘more informative console’ to get the following output:

 

Name: RockCliff08SnowRocks01_LightSN

Editor ID:

RockCliff08SnowRocks01_LightSN

Base form ID: 000310A7

Ref form ID: 0001A378

Base Type_ STAT(Static)

Form location information: [6]:

Model: RockCliff08.nif [2]:

Textures: [9]:

Position: [6]:

Is Enabled: Yes

 

Unfortunately, this is the point where I don't know what to do next to find the cause. What to do with this output? Since there are so many dependencies, I can't just disable some mods to narrow down the cause of the error.

Can you please give me some tips on how to find the faulty mod and how to fix it? As it's probably a very basic problem, I'm sure there are instructions somewhere for such cases that I couldn't find.

Use the MO Data tab (at right). Find what mod is providing RockCliff08.nif by typing that in the filter.

In MIC, you can hover the pointer over Textures: [9] and press Shift to drill into the textures to find their names and use the MO Data tab for those as well.

You can determine what plugin is modifying the record by loading xEdit via MO and pasting in those Base and Ref IDs.

You can also look at the *.nif in NifSkope to find the textures it expects under the BSTriShape>BSLightingShaderProperty>BSShaderTextureSet
