Mitigate

So it would seem that ENBOOST is responsible for this. Upon removing it's files from my game folder, the issue has gone away. EDIT: Hmm, perhaps not, I also reset my .ini files which could have done the trick. More testing then.

And there is no solution? I even have Godrays and DOF turned off in my .ini. What setting is doing this? Shadows are the obvious culprit but even with them lowered there is no improvement.

Thanks for responding. I am already using this mod. Sadly it doesn't fix the static flames :( If it helps anyone else though, in the barrel fires, the embers are also see through... Now I know that in Skyrim this was caused by AA Transparency. It would make Cows and Khajiit, as well as Dragon burial mounds have see-through textures.

I still stutter in Boston Commons... Seriously unacceptable.

Bump.

The problem is you got carried away by breasts and didn't pay attention to what you were installing.

What could be going on? Surely I am not the only person this is affecting.

Shame it's called Nephilim. Biblically speaking, the Nephilim were war-like men and had nothing to do with Angels. But hey, pop culture.

Bump.

Such as rain and snowfall occlusion ('Real Shelter' never worked properly and probably never will) and the realistic flowing water? Legendary Edition is still far superior due to better mods (many that will never get ported) and so I and any other reasonable person cannot rationally swap, but those two new features are quite nice...

In response to post #41319925. I did say they 'tend' to be... Not that all are. So my statement remains intact. And congratulations on your modding practises, you special little snowflake :)

In response to post #40671960. #40689680, #40841275, #40841980, #40953640 are all replies on the same post. Agreed. Those who disagree tend to be mod authors who wish to sellout and try to make a buck themselves at the expense of the community. Bethesda making lazy games and DLC from now on will only increase the modding community's activity and lead to more profit when they drop the paid mods bomb.

I am not a mod author but I decided to boycott Bethesda's mod site quite a while back, they make decent games that benefit greatly from their ease of mod-ability. But they do not understand modding and in their ignorance have damaged it multiple times; I blame the incessant "moar profits!" nonsense as much as I do their lack of understanding. Frankly, Bethesda games without modding are not going to sell particularly well, too many bugs, not as much creativity. Skyrim is still one of the crashiest games I have ever owned. This one gets it.

It's clear I've been grossly misunderstood by my denigrators. That or they are trying to put words in my mouth. Perhaps they're just grasping, trying to justify their motives. I'm convinced they've just not actually understood though. Can someone be labelled a sellout if they are only inclined to do so should the opportunity arise? Would that not make them just an opportunist if anything? Arthmoor hasn't yet become a sellout as the opportunity to become one hasn't even arisen in this case, therefore I still refute the claims that I called anyone a sellout. Also I am completely unable to see it as an insult. It's just a verb for describing a certain behaviour. If you feel insulted by said verb, or engage in the behaviour that dictates it's use, then that is your fault. And now people are derailing this thread with utterly irrelevant and irrational sentiments over sexism (of all the ridiculous things that could be brought up) as well as reading into the posts here whatever they wish. It seems the discussion is now over. I put my piece out there. So you can tear this thread apart now if you want without bothering me. Take my words out of context, misunderstand and/or just plain get butthurt.

You may wish to consider how the sentiments you express come across to the reader, if you're concerned about being misjudged. I laughed. I laughed hard. For like five minutes. You can barely mention consoles without telling console gamers off. But man, you're so not an elitist! Maybe you're just... wait, what was it? Right. You're a jerk. That's what it was. Regardless of my position on consoles, they are still completely irrelevant to this discussion. Also my manners and general tone do not determine whether I am ultimately right or wrong. Just wanted to clear that up. Carry on.

Look Lelcat, you're definitely not helping anything with what you're doing and you're starting to annoy me with your 'attacks'. You're a shadow hiding behind the arguments of others because you lack the intellectual capacity to form your own. You get on here pretending to be a proud mod author talking about the 'free market' and your plight as a poor, taken-for-granted artist. But you've only published one mod as far as I have seen. One, basic mod doing something that's probably been done to death by others. You seem to have these delusions of grandeur that you'll become a rich, professional modder on bethesda.net. You wont. you'll get swallowed up in the masses and forgotten about. Make something great though and I'll donate to you too. If you stop being a dick. You also keep jumping in with sly little 'yeah, you got served' garbage just to make yourself feel better like some punk who can't actually hold his own. No one got served. Not Arthmoor nor myself. It was a debate. A passionate debate. Arthmoor had a little trouble separating me from my position but it was still mostly civil as far as internet forums get. No one mentioned Nazis at least anyway... My position, if you actually paid attention, has nothing to do with being stingy with my money. I've donated several times to at least 7 authors who I deem worth it and I aim to continue doing so. DLC sized amounts too. Not just a Dollar here and there. It's all about keeping it how it has been run since Morrowind. Independent. A community built on passion rather than the pursuit of fame and fortune. Every mod author signed up knowing it was about the love of the game and they didn't expect to get paid for it. Then Bethesda comes along and sows corruption as well as damages what has so far been a perfectly stable and functional community by luring authors away first to the Workshop and now to Bethesda.net. They used their influence to get these people star struck and stroked their ego by contacting them directly and then many got screwed over when it all went to Hell. They had no idea how to run the system they tried to implement, mod theft was boosted exponentially and the same crap is happening again. When they introduce paid mods again (which like I have said numerous times is their main goal, if it wasn't they wouldn't have jumped right in with it from the start) they will once again lure authors away to become exclusively beth.net and leave the massive and awesome TES and FO community on the Nexus out in the cold. The Nexus is a place to pillage. Skyrim Special Edition has been made so that they can capitalise on the already huge mod library available for it. Is there a chance I am wrong? Sure! But all the signs point to them not giving a true f*** about any of us. Bethesda.net is offering nothing we all haven't already had for years! And better! If they did it mainly for consoles then they wouldn't infect their new games on PC with garbage like disabling achievements when mods are active or forcing you to sign into bethesda.net to do what you always could before without it. So if you use an unofficial patch just to get the f***ing game working on FO or TES, you wont be able to get the full experience because it's a 'mod'. I am NOT against mod authors getting something for their effort. I AM against splitting the community here and causing all the bulls*** I have mentioned extensively in this thread. For something that is redundant from the get go. If mod authors could charge for their work here on the Nexus, I would have NOTHING to say. But Bethesda would never let that happen. Because it's not about the author getting paid, it's all about Bethesda getting paid. Anyone who harms the community in any way just to get paid is a sellout, or at least made a big mistake. There's no other word for it. If that word offends you that is your problem. I am not the first person to say it either. Far bigger fish than I will ever be have said it too. I'm just repeating myself. Go back and read the thread. I love the Nexus. I love TES and FO. Putting them together is the best thing that has happened in my gaming life. If I didn't and if it wasn't, I wouldn't be putting myself out here like I am to cop abuse and be 'that guy'. Who heard about me before this? No one. I'm nobody. I keep to myself. I like it that way too. But I feel so strongly about this that I had to open my mouth.

Your gun is still smoking though, everyone can see that. As you've already had pointed out, trying to walk your statements back by shielding them behind future tense phrasing does not mitigate (lol, the irony) the fact that you fired the insults first, kept firing, and are now upset you've been called on it and had your fire returned. There you go AGAIN with the insults. As far as making mods, it's my assumption you don't know how or you wouldn't be advocating the position you are because you'd understand what's involved. And still you ask the basic question you'd already know the answer to if you even knew who you were talking to. IMO, nothing productive will ever come of trying to discuss this with you so feel free to have the last word or whatever. I'm done talking past you while you've got your fingers in your ears. Keep saying I started the insults if it makes you feel better. I'm not upset. I merely pointed out that, by your reasoning, you and Lelcat were the first to resort to petty insults. Anyone can flick back and see that for themselves though. You've just latched onto this idea and tried to use it to belittle me when it's actually completely irrelevant to the discussion. A discussion about something in which the negative impacts you've refused to acknowledge because you're blinded by the prospect of getting paid... Maybe you're still star struck from Bethesda possibly contacting you last time? I assume they did. Stating that someone would be a sellout if they fit the description in some future time isn't an insult. it's pointing out a fact. If you dislike that fact. Don't sellout. I've only made minor mods for private use. Nothing no one else couldn't do. No, I wouldn't know exactly what goes into making a massive mod like the kind you're familiar with. I never claimed to though. But that's just something you'd bring up to try and belittle me further so whatever. All I know about you is that you consider yourself a bigshot in the community, you helped fix Skyrim where Bethesda couldn't be bothered and you're keen to do whatever it takes to get some sweet cash by selling out on beth.net when they re-introduce paid mods, at the expense of the Nexus community and the integrity of the modding community in general. You also must be young or you would have conducted yourself better during our discussion here instead of irrationally assuming I am merely jealous of your potential to earn money from modding. Other than this, I have never spoken to you or been involved with you at all except by appreciating and donating to your Unofficial Patches. Which I am not even sure you made entirely by yourself. I know you've been given a lot of fixes by others and included them in yours. Like I said, I never claimed that I was anything other than small potatoes. What's your point though? I assume you have already decided you'll be keeping certain mods on the Nexus or at least free of charge. Something like that which you feel I am some kind of fool for not knowing. Your arrogance is strong, I should apparently know damn well exactly who you are as if you are some kind of king and not just a part of the community like everyone else... The reality is that if you didn't make unofficial patches, someone else would have. I have also previously decided there's nothing more to be said here. I've made my case and I feel I have argued for it better than you've argued against it. It's out of my hands. In the end though, I'll be able to say I had the community in mind instead of money. But by then you'll be making a mint on bethesda.net and wont care. You also seem to oppose Valve yet you're happy to use their Greenlight program... You're shameless. I get it though. If every downloader on the Nexus donated a Dollar to you and other authors, you'd be Millionaires. It's a shame I seem to be one of the few who uses the Nexus properly. I'm not arguing against you getting something back. Never was. Bethesda caught on though and they want those Millions instead, by using you and the Nexus. I only tried to get you to see that. I do know that the mod author called Chesko was royally f***ed over last time... Because I recognize that capitalism cannot be redeemed and greed corrupts everything in this World, I know bethesda.net doesn't exist with the gamers' best interests at heart. Ultimately you just have to think back to their first attempt. All it was about was getting some easy cash from the modding scene. Which they realized was ripe for pillaging. Nothing about it was to make the community better. All it did was cause trouble. And now with this second attempt, they are once again taking no responsibility for the consequences and issues cropping up, they just want to capitalize. And they corrupt or trick mod authors into abandoning what they originally accepted modding was all about.

I guess there's nothing left to be said then. I'll keep supporting mod authors on the Nexus, even Arthmoor, who's work on the Unofficial Patches I cannot deny is still absolutely essential. Though that comes from my love of games like Skyrim and not because I respect the guy anymore. I just hope I don't one day have the opportunity to say 'I told you so'.

Until they introduce paid mods and whatever else they have planned... I am astounded that people trust them after last time...

Even if it ends up restricting your ability to express it?

Yeah but the mod authors clearly are reading! Maybe some can be swayed?

Is that why pay to win, day one DLC, season passes and COD repeats are so huge right now? People don't actually vote with their wallets! They give up every bit of power they have and just go with the flow because it is easier. Everyone thinks they're just one person, what can they possibly do. So nothing ever changes. I know I'm going to lose this battle. But I'm still going to voice my opposition. It's like getting raped by Mike Tyson, it's gonna happen if he wants it to, but at least you can kick and scream and say you tried to stop it...

I've never seen a corporation with the best interests of the workers in mind... I don't think that exists. We can sit here and talk about magical fairy dust unicorn rainbow land where corporations are kind because their mother's hugged them a lot as a child... But the real world will still be what it is when we get done talking about it. The person who holds the power gets the lion's share of the profit. I take the 33% my company gives me, cash my paycheck, and go home happy that I have a home to live in. I'm not going to bite that hand that feeds me just because I want more, I am rather happy not being homeless or hungry. Well that is a whole other discussion. One involving the fact that everything you work for was once free until it was claimed and sold to the highest bidder... Now you need to break your back just to have somewhere to sleep at night. Insanity... And like I said, I don't have the energy to fight Corporate America or the capitalist system. But in the context of the real world, if Bethesda offered modders anywhere between 20%-30% of the earnings that would be a good deal. Especially for doing something that is pretty much a hobby. Personally, I would keep my mod free though, because I want as many people to play it as possible. I want the people of the Nexus to play it, I want the people unfairly banned by Nexus moderators who were in a bad mood to play it, I want the people who play on Xbox to play it, and I want the people who don't have money to spend on mods to play it. I am pro-Nexus and pro-Bethesda.net... I am just pro-making cool mods. But just like the place where you rest your head at night, it didn't NEED to become a commodity... People let that happen. The same is happening to modding now.

Oh, come on! You surely know how the world works now! Everything has an agenda. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's hidden, but it's always there.
