What's causing this weird stipple texture?

[wizardonthejob]

I have a lot of visual mods installed and I'm not quite sure how to hunt down exactly which mod is causing this weird stipple effect on lots of my textures. I'm hoping someone will have a "lightbulb" moment. Here is a screenie of my problem and below is a list of all of my mods, sorted by category (for what it's worth).

Thanks in advance for checking this out!

Those look like small artifacts o_o. Think you're overworking your GPU. Just a guess though.

Lisselli thanks so much for responding.

 

Skyrim is the only game that seems to have any sort of visible distortions at all; every other game I have (including Fallout 4 and Farcry 4) is smooth as silk and crystal clear.

 

I went ahead and removed MSI Afterburner anyway to check it out (running GTX 980 with 70+ on the core and 300+ on the RAM) and the problem persisted. I'm betting I have a texture mod or something like that out of order but identifying it is a daunting task with the sheer number of mods I'm trying to run. :unsure:

Bump.

 

I have tried disabling as many visual mods as I can but the stipple texture persists. I even disabled the ENB, but it seems like it ran anyway. Perhaps I didn't do that right.

 

Any other takers?

It's a bit hard to see on your screenshot - so maybe I'm wrong here...

 

Might be an ENB parallax issue. Open your enblocal.ini (found in Skyrim/). Set "FixParallaxTerrain=false". If this fixes the issue, you have textures installed, that aren't compatible with ENBs texture parallax feature. Currently, this is the case for most landscape retexture mods.

[wizardonthejob]

Algabar, looks like that option is already set to false. For shiggles, I set it to true, but that didn't seem to have an effect.

 

If you take a look at these closeups, you can see that it affects more than just terrain. Not only that but it seems to appear on anything that is affected by any sort of shading... but not always... it's so weird.

 

Something else; the texture seems to be stationary. If the ground moves on the screen, it seems to glide under the stipple texture.
