NO Light source in a cave

[Unconformist]

I'm having a bug where i have no light in a cave, absolutely nothing works, torches, lanterns (wereble lanterns) and even spells don't emit light, absolute black.
Already used Tcl command to get out of the cave (whyle inside) and check if i was stuck somewhere but it's not the case, i can use toch, but everything is just shade black, no light, all black, except the sky.

- only happens in 1 cave (so far), it's the Eldergleam cave, wen't there for a side quest.
- no mods that afect light in dungeons

I have no idea why it happens only in this cave, i can only see the forms in black, in contrast with the sky using tcl.
Anyone had a problem like this?

Check your Skyrimprefs.ini and see what your fgamma is set to. perhaps it is below 1.000?

Nop, it's 1.000 precise, haven't found the cause yet, it's really, really weird...

Only the sky emits any light source, everything else is pure black, even the torches

Are you using mods? Why don't you list out your load order here? If you don't know how, LOOT has 3 dots in the upper right. Click on those and inside you can copy your load order and then paste it here with Ctrl V

[twiztedmongoloid]

Are you using ENB? Did you previously install another ENB over top?

 

Multiple lighting mods?

 

Return your game back to vanilla and slowly add things in one by one.

 

always test test test.

I'm also using "RealLike" Enb, haven't sold the problem yet..

[snelss0]

Make sure that whenever you move/alter/delete a mod from your active save, that you make a new game. Skyrim bakes scripts into your saved game and can cause issues if you've moved/altered/deleted a mod and skyrim is still trying to find that script in your game. It could very well be that your game is working fine, but because you moved a mod that now you are getting CTDs and such. Just go for the new game.

 

Looking at your load order:
1. RS Patch should be the last mod in your load order at the very bottom. LOOT doesn't sort this.
2. Make sure you have the patches for AOS and SOS, as well as the patches that I believe let these two work nicely with each other.
3. I wouldn't put anything below Alternate start, Dual Sheath Redux, and RS Patch unless it specifically says so on the mod page. I don't believe LOOT sorts your Realistic Nights mod, which is likely the cause of your problems. I would throw those a bit higher up on your load order and see if it helps out. Maybe after your Dual Sheath Redux.esp.

4. I would recommend putting the end of your load order like this:

Fnis

[Animation files]

[Any custom skeletons you use (generally xpmse)]

Alternate start

[Mods that demand to be at the bottom]

 

As for your ENB, ensure that you had no left over files in your skyrim folder from old enbs.

There should be no files/folders that start with:

SMAA

ENB

d3d9

 

If you know what ENBs you've used in the past, maybe open them up and see the files they would install, then go to your skyrim folder and make sure that none of them are there anymore. If you've only ever used this ENB, then don't worry about it. As for installation, make sure you are:

1. Downloading the required enb version from enbdev.com as needed for your ENB (generally v.308).

2. Extract the enb files, then go to the Wrapper folder and pull d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe into your steam/steamapps/common/skyrim folder.

3. Now download the enb preset for RealLike Enb and drag all the files it mentions in the readme into the same skyrim folder.

4. Make any necessary .ini changes the mod author might mention on their mod page.

5. Done.

 

If all else fails and no-one else has anything to suggest, you can try a clean install and test each mod until you repeat the glitch. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/906390-cleaning-skyrim-for-fresh-install/

Maybe try removing 'Dark Dungeons,' seems related :D.
