Drain Ability Shader Problem

[Sarya]

Quite recently I got an unpleasant problem which appears whenever a drain ability spell (not poison) is cast on me. For some time my character was just turning black instead of common red outline, which was removed either by spell expiring, or by me using another, shield as an example. Recently, however, any contact with that effect just turns my screen black, sparing the menus, and it doesn't change when the spell expires. I can easily remove it by alt-tabbing and back, but my game has a risk of crushing when I do. I have no mods changing shaders except for Aznar's Life Detection, which I use for more than a year without any problems. I don't know what mod to suspect for that. Any advise?

A list of mods and load order might help us diagnose your problem. Please don't type the whole list - use copy and paste to save wear on your fingers.

 

Also, the list from the oblivion data files may not be the real load order. if you can, use something like OBMM or Wrye Bash to get the actual order.

It's hard to list all my mods. And to sort them out in load order...

Here I copied my download list (backward order) since January with uninstalled mods sorted out. I'm completely sure that the problem appeared long after January and since January I didn't install any mods I downloaded before. Most of the mods related to character's appearance were integrated in one self-made so I don't use their esps. I didn't have any mods related to effects before, except for Aznar Life Detect.

What I suspect is a mod conflict. You already have one that is showing up - Amazing Jump and the Demon Race mod. Its likely that something in the Demon Race mod is overwriting something in the Amazing Jump mod.

 

The other possible conflict I see is between The Demon Race (same mod) and Black Luster Armor for exnem's body. the Demon race seems to be for BAB and may conflict with the Demon's Exnem body.

 

I recommend installing Wrye Bash and using its check for conflicts function to see what is conflicting with what. It will also allow you to see the real load order, remember that if 2 mods conflict, usually the last one loaded will overwrite the previous one on load. Wrye Bash does this better than OBMM. OBMM is better for just setting your load order when playing.

 

Sometimes, just changing the load order of a couple of mods will clear up a problem - they will still show up as conflicting, but they will work OK.

Well, thanks for that, even if it still seems unclear what caused my problem. I'll try what you advised, I guess, if I manage to figure out how. But is that possible, that it's Demon Race or Midas Magic Spells what causes a problem? I don't think that Blackluster and Demon Race have a problem with each other, though, authors added an option of installation for Exnem.
