1.I moved my data folder to a separate drive, intending to get a clean install, for Requiem. 2.I uninstalled Skyrim via steam, leaving SKSE and Dragonscript in the route folder. 3. I reinstalled Skyrim via steam. 4. When going to install Requiem, my Nexus Mod Manager, had retained the data folder files, contracted to my old Skyrim. 5. I scratched my head, and said forget requiem. 6. Without moving my other folder back in place, Old Skyrim saves and mods all worked regularly. 7. Dragon encounter on a clean save, has the mesh all blobbed out. a bit of an edge line here and there, but really, just a blob of melty clay. 8. My game didnt have this issue before this. Any suggestions, I am going to verify integrity now. see what happens.
