Strange random ghost-like graphical issue with animals

[chrisb35712]

I have this REALLY strange graphical issue with animal NPCs of any and occasionally all types. Randomly, an animal that I'm nearby will have this odd ghost effect. Like the normal spirits but mint green. I'm including a picture. Also they sometimes, possibly due to effect limitations turning it off to conserve memory or something, no idea, they'll turn almost invisibly translucent. It was really jarring once when it happened to... either a troll or a bear or whatever it was. It only ever happens with one or two animals at any given time, but it's rather immersion breaking. I'm assuming a mod conflict, as it never happened until I installed Dawnguard. I thought it was just one of the huskies was a ghost or something, as that was the first time I noticed it happening, but later, I noticed it would happen randomly while riding Arvak, and again with Eevee the magical fox companion. It's happened once to the hireable trolls, it occasionally happens with wolves, dogs, deer, etc. I've never noticed it happening with a bear, and it most often seems to affect friendly animals? I notice it the most with the huskies and then obviously Arvak. I'll post my mod order on request, but its around 180 or so. It's never really caused any definitive problems with my game, it's really just startling when animals all of a sudden turn into weird misty green ghosts.

Nevermind, got it.

[vlaka]

hm

How up to date are your mods?

tried removing some of your magic mods and seeing if this happens?

Remove that companion fox mod, it might be causing the glow.

[RaggedyCreature]

Was this ever resolved?

[TheGreatFalro]

This is a feature from "Thunderchild". I suspect if you kill this animal you'll see a message stating "Kyne is pleased with your actions".

thanks alot, i've been wondering about this!

[Jinxxed0]

I hate to necro a thread, but I figure it's better than starting a new one.

 

Does anyone know how to go into the CK and turn this affect off? It's getting to the point where it's become annoying. Especially when the effect is on random horses and such.
