Hey!

I'm working on a mod and im making a pond in that mod, unfortunately the terrain texture already there makes ferns pop up everywhere which is kinda weird in a pond.
So i wanted to change the texture with landscape editing but no matter what texture i use i just paint blackness - any help?! :/

Uncheck "Edit Colours"

It is unchecked already!

What texture are you trying to paint?

Been listening to the Rolling Stones again have ya?

I've had this. It only seems to paint certain rectangular areas black. Changing to another texture will often be able to "repaint" the black areas, but may paint different black areas of their own.

No idea how to get around it other than constantly repainting with other textures.

I've tried alot of other textures and every one of them turns up black -.-

DO they work ingame?

No still black - i've found a workaround though, i used some water in the pond that you can't see through
But still, it's a weird issue!?

If they don't work in game either then your textures are corrupted. Verify your Skyrim cache through Steam.

I'm guessing too many textures to the cell quad, so it's reverting to color editing. Probably happening at the borders where you encroach onto another cell quad. There is a limit.

That water in the pond will only do while you're above water. You'll still be able to see it underneath. I don't know what the issue is, but I've had it in some locations too. I was thinking maybe too many textures in the quad (haven't actually checked yet, I didn't think of it at the time) but it was only in a plain snowy region so I can't imagine there would have been more than 4 and I think you're allowed 8.
