NPCs glow in the dark.

Been an issue with me for a while now, not sure how to fix it. I installed "Darker Nights" but for some reason everything has this "Highlighted" effect. Making them super easy to see. It only happens at certain angles and it very inconsistent. Any ideas? I don't have any visual or graphics mods and it's been an issue for several years now with several different mod lists.

This is a Bethesda "feature". :yucky: Certain lighting mods can make the effect look a bit more obvious, but it basically lights up the player character as well as NPCs. For some reason, I find the Fallout 4 version worse than the one present in Skyrim. If you want to get rid of the effect, open your console and type:

 

CL off

 

You will have to do that each time you load your game. If you want to set it up so that it is typed in automatically for you each time you launch the game, or if you are just interested in adjusting the strength of the effect, then read this for instructions on how to do so:

Edit:

 

I checked the page for Darker Nights, and if you look under the section for Frequently Asked Questions, it has this to say:

 

"There is sort of ghostly glow affect on the NPC during the night. What gives?
This is added by vanilla and this mod makes it more noticeable. You can get rid of it with ENBoost and its DisableFakeLights setting enabled. You don't need to use an ENB preset for it to work but there may be a performance cost having the glow removed this way.

 

Another solution is to open the console with the ~ key, type cl off and press enter but you need to repeat this command every time you start Fallout 4. A more permanent solution (and other useful info) can be found here: Disable character light"--for the latter, refer to the link I placed earlier in this post. :thumbsup:
