Swirling Vortexes around Essential NPCs?

[Sykez]

So, I recently ran through Helgen on a new character. I've got about 230 mods installed, so I have no idea which one is causing this. But upon seeing Ulfric and Tullius, they... had swirly vortexes around them!

And they're not the only ones. Mercer also had the same effect. Does anyone recognize important characters having this swirly effect on them?

 

Here's my mod list, but it's about 230 mods strong, so... I don't blame you if you don't want to look through it.

I haven't made any Bashed patches yet, but I have plans to in the near future. My current mod list more or less represents every mod I could ever want or need for Skyrim, which is why I'm so annoyed at this outstanding issue. Has anyone seen this before, and know the cause, or a possible fix?
