SKYRIMLE Solitude Saw Mill Water Wheel Texture missing

[Kaizersoze27]

Hi There,
 
I need some help with the Solitude Saw mill Water Wheel. As you may see in the image below, the water wheel has purple texture. This is the only Water wheel that has this issue. Other water wheels in Skyrim are fine. I am unable to isolate the cause of this problem, could someone please help?

In creation kit, this wheel is located to SSawWaterWheel, however, the Meshes seem to be pointing to the correct location.
 
Thanks & Warm Regards,

Wow you posted this in a lot of places. I am sure it must be annoying you by now. I am no good with support, but I am sure someone will help you out soon. These guys are really good.

 

Things you can look into: 

 

Open the NIF in Nifskope and see where the texture is pointing to. You may find a mod has changed the path.

If you have this mesh in your Data files, remove it and see if the problem disappears.

Are you using DynDOLOD?

Hey,

 

Thanks a lot. I posted in many places, with a hope that someone somewhere would have noticed this issue or could help me out. I shall check Nifskope, thanks for the suggestion. 

 

and I am not using DynDOLOD

Update: I removed the .nif file and the issue was gone. I see the wheel back to its normal texture again. 

 

Thanks a lot for your help SparrowPrince :)

I helped someone! In your face Ess! 

 

No problem, but it might not be a pefect solution to remove it as you may have a mod which is pointing to a better texture (or it may have mesh fixes). If you did look at it in Nifskope, you might be able to see what texture you are missing. You can then find it and keep whatever mesh fixes that mesh may have had.

SkyFalls/SkyMills most likely. Actually I'm not sure if that does the saw mill water wheels. Might want to check it out.

So far, it looks good to me. I Did have Skyfalls/Skymills earlier, but I removed it, i guess, that might have caused this issue. Also, I did try the Nifskope, but I am a total dud at it and did not fin any pointers to texture path for that NIF file.

 

For now, I think everything looks fine, thanks a lot both of you :)

I think I just found the source of the problem

it was 4K Parallax Skyrim All in One Archive, it was missing the waterwheel textures

in the mod folder, delete ssawwaterwheel.nif in meshes/architecture/solitude/farms folder

 

I ran into the same problem myself as OP, this is how I fixed it
