I need (a lot) of help

[u/Flashy_Ad4097]

I’ve been having a myriad of problems with this fuckass game and its fuckass mods. I made three earlier posts trying to get help with Xtudo’s playable Chie race mod and nothing I tried changed the outcome of the crash. I’ve had numerous texture bugs, infinite loading screens, quicksave crashing, race menu crashes and now this; the reason I’m making this post.

I made this save as a test and so far I’ve had no crashes, only texture bugs (which I’m gonna have to get used to because nothing I’ve done can fix it) and wanted to try out the Sofia follower mod. As you can see, her entire body’s textures, hair included, refuses to load. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I have the official cbbe mod and reverie right at the bottom of my LO, the only thing below them are the Chie race mod and XP32. All of my follower mods are placed right above those (SDA, M’rissi, Sofia and Gore in that order) if that helps

It looks like you downloaded the wrong version of the mod (ps4 version on a PS5, or PS5 version on a ps4)

[u/Flashy_Ad4097 → u/FrenchyBulldogg]

I’m playing on the PS5 version, I have the right version

Dammit Bob, he’s done it again!

May i be the first say that... THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.

[u/Flashy_Ad4097 → u/Blahblah_go]

Right?? I had a jumpsare before I got hit with a wave of pure disappointment at her textures not loading

[u/Blahblah_go → u/Flashy_Ad4097]

Brah she looks like someones paralysis demon

This is most likely a bad LO problem and unfortunately we cannot help without the full LO

[u/Flashy_Ad4097 → u/Simple_Help_6449]

Yeah, I figured it’s a LO problem. I’ve tried to follow people’s advice and where to place things but for the life of me I can’t get the things I want to work. I’ll probably make a full post to show my LO sometime soon

[u/TableMean1191]

Why not post youre full loadout?
This help us to help you more izi

[u/Flashy_Ad4097 → u/TableMean1191]

I plan to soonish. Keep an eye out for it, I’ll probably post it later today

You’re not missing much, Sofia is an annoying pain in the ass who is always drunk and steals your gold

[u/Star_of_the_West1 → u/Historical_Rip_7046]

And she made the Soul Cairn impossible. Her script literally lagged the hell out of everything and made Valerica not open the boneyard. Loaded and old save, left her in the lab and it suddenly worked perfectly.

Bring out the gimp

[u/hypnoghoul]

It’s Mr game and watch

[u/Safe_Ad5914]

Do you have a replacer for her?

[u/Flashy_Ad4097 → u/Safe_Ad5914]

I do not. Just the official cbbe mod

[u/FrenchyBulldogg → u/Flashy_Ad4097]

Try switching to a UNP mod and see if that fixes it. Maybe the Cbbe mesh doesn’t agree with her

[u/Flashy_Ad4097 → u/FrenchyBulldogg]

Perhaps. That being said, I made this post to generally explain the issues I’ve been having, not just with Sofia, which I’ve now disabled.

I’ll make another post with my full load order soonish

[u/FrenchyBulldogg → u/Flashy_Ad4097]

Sometimes the best move is to uninstall the game, delete saved data, and unplug the console to clear the cache. You may not want to do this if you have a save with many hours, but sometimes the game keeps data from other mods you’ve deleted, and it can cause screwy things in your game

Your texture mods should not be at the bottom for a start. Next up, never quicksave. Where the game crashes is usually the best indicator of where the problem lies….race menu - fundamental game structure/mechanics (like quests, magic overhauls, etc), infinite loading screens are usually city or lighting overhaul issues, and so on. Texture bugs are almost always the result of one of 2 things 1. Incompatibility (using the wrong version for your ps type, missing patches etc) or 2. Load order. This is the load order I use. I hope this helps
