Can anyone explain the screenshot in the attached file? This started happening after I began messing around with ENB/lighting settings due to my shadows s***ing a brick midway through this play through. Looks like the sun glare textures were replaced with some kind of rabbit creature. Immersion breaking to say the least. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling ENB and any mods associated with shadows/lighting and still the problem persists.

Problem is back. Switching to Vivid weathers and reshader seemed to only temporarily solve the problem and after a few days the exact same thing started happening again. What happened next makes this even more bizarre. I tried updating my drivers and this at first appeared to fix the problem until I realized that all outside lighting look exactly like vanilla. Somehow updating my drivers completely removed any lighting/shadow changes that ENB/Vivid/Re-engaged made, but ONLY when outside. Interiors still look as gorgeous as ever. Does anyone have any idea what's happening here?

Interesting. I did use the beginning of her guide to prep my game for modding, but that's it. I relaunched the game maybe 30 times so that wasn't it and I assumed that updating drivers would be a bit of a stretch (didn't try). I messed with some sun ini values and that also didn't work. I did end up fixing the issue however, but I don't think it's going to be a solution others would hope for. I ended up completely removing Climates of Tamriel and the the Re-engaged ENB preset that went along with it and swapped it for Vivid and its corresponding Re-engaged ENB preset. Problem solved and the Vivid ENB preset just plain looks better anyway. In other words, the problem was stemming from Climates of Tamriel or the Re-engaged ENB preset for it (or both).

As the title states, shadows seem to completely disappear only when outside and standing still. Screenshots attached at the bottom. I have ENBseries and some lighting mods and I'm sure it's something to do with those. I've tried reinstalling all lighting mods and it didn't help. The oddest thing about this is that I've played 30+ hours totally fine with this load order and it just started happening yesterday. I have made no recent changes to my mods that would explain why it just now started doing this. I'm at my wits end trying to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help but I actually figured it out. I was using the FOIP MWK: FOOK +FWE. I stopped using that and used MWK: FOOK and MWK:FWE separately and now it works fine.

FO3Edit is giving me this error: [00:05] Background Loader: loading "WeaponModKits - FOOK + FWE.esp"...

I'm at a loss, fose will not launch. If you need me to post my mod order let me know.
