Very annoying graphical glitch with Vivid Weathers, please help

[robinsw89]

Hi guys,

So I'm using ICBINE 4, with Skyrim Reloaded and Vivid Weathers. I more or less followed the ICBINE 4 mod author's mod list he provided on the main mod page.

The issues Im experiencing is two-fold.

1: ICBINE 4 mod author is using ELFX in his mod list. According to Vivid Weathers page the weather mod is not compatibale so I did not install that plugin. I did install Main File, Enhancer and Exteriors. This mod adds what I call 'mounted fire pits' (don't know correct English word) to various places, Falkreath among them. These fire sources have fire burning and smoke coming from them. Now, depending on how far away I stand, that smoke is either a white or black color and the closer I get, the lightsource starts affecting clouds/mist generated by Vivid Weathers. Basically the mist appears and disappears or is luminated or darkened, depending on how close I move towards the mounted fire pit.

2: I tried disabling the exterior plug-in and ofcourse this solves the issue because it removes the mounted fire pits all together. But I'm not convinced it's the core issue, because there's several other light sources like Window lighting, these lanterns that hang from cables connecting two buildings etc. Whenever I approach those, I get the same bug, albeit to a lesser degree, most likely because the light source is weaker. When I get close I start seeing Vivid Weather clouds/mist get luminated and when I move away it darkens. Sometimes, depending on the angle that I'm looking at the mist appears all together and reappears when I move my mouse.

Now I tried completely disabling ELFX, when I did this, I approached those hanging cable lanterns in Falkreath again, and although it was barely noticeable, because of how weak the lightsource is on those laterns, I still noticed that when I moved in close and looked at the light the clouds/mist from Vivid Weathers instantly illuminates and darkens again as I move away.

So basically the TL;DR:

Light sources are having weird effects on clouds/mist created by Vivid Weathers in my game, illuminating them when I get close to the light source and darkening when I move away. This is not transitional but happens instantly, which is why I think it's a bug and not an intended effect like eyes responding to light sources or the light sources increasing visibility of these clouds/mist. Because if it was intended I would assume it would transition smoothly rather than abruptly.

Anyway, I know this is a very long story but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible. If anyone knows why this is happening and what I need to change to stop it from happening, please help me!
