ScorchedSky Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 you should be able to fix the blocky fog/smoke by running the skyrim launcher and increasing the shadow quality. also, most weather overhauls aren't compatible, such as the weathers plugin from elfx and vivid weathers.My smoke is fine, like from torches and fires but the fog effects on waterfalls and sometimes snowy winds end up blocky or with this weird rainbow coloring as if its missing textures. Same goes for the night sky, it keeps getting these weird missing texture patches even after a fresh install. This is so annoying because I always use ELFX to make the lighting warmer and not like everything is lit by a dim florescent light. As for the weather one...it's more that I like being able to see what I'm doing especially in snowy weather. I never used to have all these problems and they've worked fine before. I don't know why it's suddenly different this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Actually, I'm going to try out Climates of Tamriel and see how that turns out. Already uninstalled Vivid Weathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorchedSky Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Good news! Climates of Tamriel fixed my pixlated fog and water vapor issue! I still haven't checked the night sky yet but I have high hopes. Now all that's left is the lantern texture issue and the naked npcs.

Kroekr Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Lantern: Have you tried using the Loose files version of the Lantern Mod? NPCs: You are probably going to have to load up all your esp's in Tes5Edit, sort for conflicts, then go to the nekkid NPC's in to see what mod is overwriting their clothing/armor.

ymf331 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) like i tried to say, the pixelated fog happens when shadow resolution is set too low with vivid weathers. weather mods aren't compatible with each other. so even if you switch to a different combination of 2 different ones, they're still not compatible. every one i've encountered says as much in the description.

NPCs: You are probably going to have to load up all your esp's in Tes5Edit, sort for conflicts, then go to the nekkid NPC's in to see what mod is overwriting their clothing/armor.I've tried both versions of that lantern mod and the only thing I can figure is that I must still have an old retexture that it's conflicting with. Maybe I'll try the esp version one last time after completely removing both versions then reinstalling it. Also I attempted to do the conflict check but I'm not sure if I did it correctly. It did say something about a Fine Raiment though which doesn't make sense because the npcs I've seen with the naked problem have so far all been normal class npcs who wouldn't wear any of the fine cloths.

So thanks again for your comments and advice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at each NPC separately. Are the nekkid ones "supposed" to be wearing the fine raiment according to Tes5Edit? If so, then an NPC replacer mod or perhaps a clothing mod, may accidentally be trying to apply it to them. The Vanilla clothes (DOFT-Default outfit) for Hulda is FarmClothesOutfit02 [OTFT:0002D75E]. If that is not the winning item, the green row column for that item is the one making her nude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
