Scenery turning black
Hello

I was playing and I realise that some sceneries (rocks, decorations like conch or treasure chest...) was completely black
But when I first placed them, they wasn't black

This looks similar to the issue with the amazing mangroves pack, but this happended only to vanilla items for now

Does someone else encounter this issue ? I have a lot of mods so this may be because of one of these ?

This occurs when the "voCollection" tag has not been set up correctly in the mod's data files. Worse, if they use the same tag as the base game scenery then they can turn those black too!

I explain in more detail here.

Firstly, in case anyone doesn't know what normals are: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/43462/why-do-normals-exist

Basically, 3D models which have "normals" data need to be kept separate to 3D models which don't have this data. They just need to have different "voCollection" tags. The tags can be literally anything e.g. "carrot" or "sponge". As long as "carrot" only contains 3D models which do have normal data and "sponge" only contains 3D models which do not have normal data.

The mod maker simply need to change the "voCollection" tag for the object causing the issue to something else. In the base game I make the "voCollection" tag for any models without normals to "{collection name}_no_normals" to make sure they are separate.

Hope that helps!

from what i know, a few of my scenery got issues with the tree from amazing mangroves, which once selected/placed will cause my scenery (like my rock borders) to go black, removing the tree and reloading the savegame will turn all black objects back, the modders are aware of this issue but it seems a fix is not easy
