I know when i initially tried to download and open the files i hade similar issues, and it can be tricky. What i would tell you is to go back and reread the steps outlining the downloading and opening of the files and follow the directions carefully.

My question is i dont remember promising to resolve the situation with no bloodshed so i dont know why i fail as soon as any guard is killed. Little off topic but bethesda did a piss poor job with the quest journal.

In Skyrim.INI: fSunShadowUpdateTime=0 fSunUpdateThreshold=2.0 fShadowBiasScale=0.6 I've checked every skyrim.ini file on my computer and i cant find those lines anywhere even using ctrl f to find text strings.

Just started noticing this glitch last couple of days. I have several mods installed and running. I've disabled any mod that i thought might even remotely cause this clitch. Mods like Enhanced NIght Sky (even though i dont think this mod would affect daytime acitivity), Skyrim Sun Glare, Enhanced Distant Terrain, etc etc. Have yet to figure out what is causing this and hoping someone else may know or have had the same issue. Im still not even sure if this is some type of texture glicth or some type of shadow effect gone awry or what. Made a video of it so its much easier than trying to explain it in words. I've googled "Skyrim Flickering Shadows" and i've tried several so called fixes and i have yet to find one that works. Sorry but this bug is annoying as hell. Its like constantly seeing something out of the corner of your eye and is very distracting not to mention immersion killing. P.S. I made a similar post but mistakenly labeled it as a Texture glitch instead of shadow glitch and since i couldnt edit the post title, i posted under Flickering Shadows header this time in hopes of getting better response as to any possible fixes.

I cant find either of these entries in any of my skyrim.ini files fSunShadowUpdateTime= fSunUpdateThreshold= I've even used the search bar in the startup window and it cant find those lines anywhere

Ok thanks for the heads up will look into it. Thanks!!!

Thanks Ghogiel!

Well its a weird glitch i get. I'd say about every 8 to 10 seconds i get this weird ripple effect on the screen. Best comparison i could make would be it looks like somone put a giant fan in front of the sun and the intermittent shadows flicker across all the terrain for about 2 seconds then goes away. Another 8 to 10 seconds it happens again. I just started noticing it maybe yesterday, was on a bit today and noticed it again. Anyone else had an issue like this before? I have several mods installed but havent really put up any new ones in the last couple days and hadn't had this issue previously. Cant really think off hand which of these mods might be the culprit. Not sure how to describe it accurately so made a video of it. Crap not sure how to get the video on here. Its a fraps videon, i'll have to read up on how to get it attached to this post.

Yea I PM'd him i misunderstood what he was saying i thought he was just talking about downloading and installing mods, guess the mention of TESsnip should have given me a clue lol.

In your OP you said you were using FOMM. FOMM is not the same thing as NMM. You can get NMM Here

Yes. You are using Fallout Mod Manager for Skyrim. With the advent of Nexus Mod Manager you should be using NMM for Skyrim, FO, and FONV. When you start up NMM it asks you which game you want to mod , then you simply select Skyrim and go from there.

Hmm no more thoughts on this topic? Was really hoping that we could get a general consensus on this. Being NMM compatible requires no extra effort on modders just requires them to ensure folders / files are set up properly. I myself can figure most mods out as far as installation goes if it doesnt install properly but some out there cant. Also i think in all actuality this would make the nexus sites much better because there is nothing i hate more than looking at the comments section for a mod and have 40 to 50% of the comments be about issues with installing the mod. It would be much nicer to be able to read comments on a mod that were descriptions of how good the mod is or constructive criticism that will help to make the mod better, instead of having to pore over extraneous posts about installation issues.

If you've installed a mod with NMM and it doesnt work it may be becuase the modder did not set up the files properly. When you install a mod you should check inside your skyrim data folder to see if anything has acutally been added. I.E. texture files inside the texture folder for example. If you dont see that any files have been added to any of your subdirectorys that means files were prob not setup properly. For example take KenMOD-Lockpick Pro-Cheat. In his first download version when you opened up the packet there was no folder at all, just the files only. It looked like this: Installation.txt lockpickingmenu.swf preview.jpg This casued NMM to only put the "lockpickingmenu.swf" file into your data folder instead of into the interface folder as stated in the readme. For the mod to be installed properly with an automatic NMM install, the packet should have been setup with an "Interface" folder with the "lockpickingmenu.swf" file inside of it. So unfortuneately unitll there is some type of verificaiton process for mods on the nexus site you will have to check the files to make sure they are setup correctly if they do not install properly. This is what prompted me to post this topic: Hopefully NMM Compatibility It kind of defeats the purpose of having the NMM autoinstall feature if the files are not going to be setup proplerly and you have to manually correct it most of the time. However just the mod managing feature of the NMM is well worth having since it makes removing and reinstalling mods a breeze without you having to go in an manually locate and delete every single file associated with a mod. When you have a crap load of mods isntalled, that could get confusing and messy really fast.

Oh and btw exellant post Uzibeatle very poignant and pretty much my sentiments on the topic as well!
