I found the problem. It turned out to be a simple skeleton issue. After facepalming for a second I just reinstalled the skeleton. It works fine now, but I feel very silly. Sorry for the trouble.

So, I did a clean install of Skyrim today and proceeded to download all the mods I wanted to use. After solving issue after issue and finally getting the game to start up and work without problems, I started a new character via the 'Live Another Life' mod. I ended up fighting bandits after some time and when they were dead I looted their stuff. It was mostly leather/hide armor and misc items. It all went fine 'till I got to the corpse of their tank, or whatever you'd like to call him, who was wearing iron armor. The game CTD'd the second I tried to loot it. I restarted the game, went to a different place and killed some other bandits. One of them had iron armor. Instant crash upon looting it. It happened a third time at another location. The pattern became obvious. I'm not sure if it's only iron armor that's affected, but I haven't had the chance to find out as my character is very weak. I tried searching for this problem but I didn't have any luck. I've tried running LOOT and the last thing I did before starting my character was running the SkyProc patcher to get the whole PerMa mess sorted out.

First, let me explain how it all came to be. I was running around the areas surrounding the Nuclear Test Site in the south of the map killing ghouls during the early morning while it was still dark. I then fast-traveled up north to the Gun Runners to sell some loot. It was now late enough in the morning for the sun to be up and, indeed, I could see the sun in the sky but the game was still dark. It's not just exteriors, either, interiors are extremely dark and it's very difficult to see. I just visited the Guardian Peak caves and it was literally pitch black, save for the few natural light-sources that exist down there. I checked the brightness-settings, restarted the game, it didn't work. I had not installed any mods before I sat down and played. I've been running the same mods for this entire playthrough with only a couple of newly added ones. I thought to myself, "the problem arrived so suddenly, maybe it'll go away all of a sudden after a couple of in-game days?" I've been playing for a bit with this going on now, a few in-game days have passed but it has not reverted back to normal. I deleted the ini-files in the FalloutNV folder and let them reset to no avail.

Hope that's detailed enough, I'd appreciate if someone could shed some light on this issue, pun intended. Edit: I should probably add, I'm not using an ENB.
