tpbowie Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Hello all! First, I'm pretty new at this, but am enjoying Skyrim on the PC and PS3. I have a love/hate relationship with the mods, but know it's merely a learning curve to get under my belt. Now to the issue I'm having: I have this strange, silver/white THING hovering in my pants or between my knees. It gives off white wisps of smoke/vapour/ectoplasm, and the whole thing is distracting, especially when I'm sneaking up on a bandit with my bow drawn. I can't see my aiming reticle. What have I done to my hero?? Is it permanent, can I remove it, or do I have to start over and avoid something/somebody? I know! I'm begging for you smart folks to have pity on a retired old guy who can't leave gaming alone. Thanks in advance. Oh, and I'm on a relatively low-end laptop (VAIO vpcf121gx).

TerraMcCloud Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 did a mage hit you with an ice spell? If thats the case then it'll go away after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikecheese1337 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Don't panic, it's very common - there's a magic effect stuck on you. Here's a thread here on how to fix it: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/872861-tutorial-removing-unwanted-magic-effects-from-the-player/ (You are talking about your character, not you, right?)

MODinsane Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I know it is a problem you are sorting, but this is some funny stuff! The others point out the effect of a spell, most likely the issue. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbowie Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 My character/me . . . hmmm . . . interesting question MostlyMuggle :dry: Where does one begin and the other . . . No. I won't go there. Besides, with that bloody fog surrounding my Dovakin, how can I possible tell us apart? :geek: Seriously, the problem persists, and none of the "fixes" fix it. I'm wondering if I start over with a new character if the effect will persist (due to a mod), or if it is just the current character that is so cursed. :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKrueger Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is bizarre. I was initially thinking you'd been struck by ice, or it was some other spell, but now I'm wondering. Do you have any unusual magic mods running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbowie Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've checked SkyUI, and don't see anything unusual. I've tried to run the Actor Details mod, but it doesn't save the log file. I probably have permission issues with that. Anyway, none of my digging has been fruitful, so I'm seriously considering starting over since the effect is really eating resources and messing with the frame rate. Perhaps by starting over, I can find out what causes the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
