Various problems when trying to use immersive creatures. (Textures not displaying correctly, screwy intro scene when starting a new game)

[MisterCreazil]

So I've installed Step 2.2.9 Extended following the instructions completely (as far as I know) once I verified that it was running normally without error I've gone ahead and added some of my favorite non-step mods.  I use Mod Organizer and it doesn't identify it conflicting with any existing mods.

 

So far I haven't encountered any issues or bugs except when trying to add Skyrim Immersive Creatures.  I've looked over the installation instructions they have here https://sites.google.com/site/immersivecreatures/installation the only two mods I saw with compatibility  issues was Dual Sheath Redux and Enhanced Blood, but both of those had compatibility patches.  I would use LOOT to decide the load order as well, but also tried manually setting Immersive Creatures load just above the bashed patch.

 

So just to describe some of the problems I've had with it installed, I would run into invisible monsters, skeevers would appear white and textureless, wearing ancient nord armor would make my character appear invisible, I tried starting a new game thinking maybe it just wasn't compatible with my current save but the cart ride would shake and jump around randomly, making it impossible to start a new game.

 

Here's a list of my active mods, not including Immersive Creatures

So yeah, hopefully I've done a fair job explaining my issue.  Has anyone else had difficulty getting Immersive Creatures to work correctly?  Is it just a conflict with one of my other mods that I'm not aware of?  Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Okay so for some reason installing the mod using the FOMOD in Mod Organizer (as the instructions per their website said to to do) it would leave out the bsa files.  I was able to resolve this by doing a manual installation.  Hopefully this helps out anyone else using Skyrim Immersive Creatures and Mod Organizer.  The cart glitch issue I isolated to the Dual Sheath Redux Immersive Creatures Patch.

You likely ran into the MO FOMOD installer bug. There's a bug fix for that on the Mod Organizer page.
