BellCube Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) I'm having some weird striped shadows (though searching that term comes up with two different issues, neither of them mine). Take a look at the screenshots I took to get a general idea of what I'm talking about. I do not have any lighting mods enabled, nor is ENB installed.My INI settings are as follows:Skyrim.ini [General] sLanguage=ENGLISH sTestFile1=Dawnguard.esm sTestFile2=HearthFires.esm sTestFile3=Dragonborn.esm uExterior Cell Buffer=36 SLocalSavePath=Saves\ [Display] fShadowLODMaxStartFade=1000.0 fSpecularLODMaxStartFade=2000.0 fLightLODMaxStartFade=3500.0 fLightLODStartFade=3500.0 iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=2048 bAllowScreenshot=1 fTreesMidLODSwitchDist=999999 9.0000 fFirstSliceDistance=2000.0000 fDynamicDOFFarBlur=0.4 fDDOFFocusCenterweightExt=2 fDOFMaxDepthParticipation=10000 fShadowBiasScale=8 fShadowDistance=4000 iShadowMapResolution=-1 [Audio] fMusicDuckingSeconds=6.0 fMusicUnDuckingSeconds=8.0 fMenuModeFadeOutTime=3.0 fMenuModeFadeInTime=1.0 [Grass] bAllowCreateGrass=1 bAllowLoadGrass=0 fGrassMaxStartFadeDistance=7000.0000 fGrassMinStartFadeDistance=0.0000 [Decals] uMaxSkinDecalPerActor=60 [LightingShader] fDecalLODFadeStart=0.45 fDecalLODFadeEnd=0.5 [Imagespace] iRadialBlurLevel=2 [GeneralWarnings] SGeneralMasterMismatchWarning=One or more plugins could not find the correct versions of the master files they depend on.

Wererommel Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 My next guess would be a texture mod. If the weird shadows appear on some objects and not others, I would look for a texture mod that changes those particular objects. This mod will speed things up. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19250 Open the console and click on the weirdly shadowed object. You will see a display of information, including the original source of the object and the last mod that changed it. (If you don't see it, press the Tab key until you do.)

As a modder myself, More Informative Console is a godsend. Edited October 19, 2021 by BellCubeDev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
