DarkPl4yer Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I would like someone to enlighten my ideas regarding this problem , because I have looked in several places and the ways that cause this so far are caused by mods that I do not use. i just reinstalled my skyrim recently and never had a problem with it before, at the moment this problem occurs when i try to enter DIMHOLLOW CRYPT the loading screen ends but everything is dark with just the noise of the wind from the entrance to the cave and the running water :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjenthedog Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Wildly speculating that you might haveinstalled some mod that alters caves/dungeonsinstalled some creature enhancement/replacer modinstalled some NPC enhancer/replacer modinstalled a new lighting package (Can't remember which one - long ago uninstalled - but one lighting mod makes caves pitch black.)installed a new weather related mod that affects interior spacesrecently installed some modsolutions range from adjusting a bad load order to installing a patch to adjusting an MCM, to uninstalling the offending mod once identified.

anjenthedog Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 So....you didn't recently install a new mod? This just started happening out of the blue? If so, this could simply be a glitch. try opening an earlier save, from before when you chose the quest, play a bit more then choose it again after coming at the quest trigger "from a different angle" so to speak. Not sure why, (maybe crap meshes or something in a randomly spawned creature/bandit) but doing that often resolves these failures on entering a cave/ruin for me..

DarkPl4yer Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 problem solved, apparently a racialskinvariance esp that fixes vampire npcs was causing this, before I used it too but it didn't cause such a problem because it was way up in the load order and was being replaced by other mods, but now it's down of all esp was working and causing this.(my theory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
