Strange Texture Issues

[Jandroan]

I have been messing around with mods for a while now and time and again i have come up with this same strange texture issue. Its hard to describe but the closest description i can say is a spinning/spazzing grey texture is filling my cities, specifically Whiterun. Everything I've tried doesn't seem to fix it and i haven't found any info on this bug anywhere else. At first i thought it was a problem with my save as it was present in an existing save but not a fresh one. Unfortunately upon returing to Whiterun from dead man's cairn (companions quest), the issue returned. Here's a screenshot:

It looks like smoke coming from that fire pot. The authors suggested load order is higher than what you have:

 

"Load Order:

I generally recommend the following:

• Place "Blowing in the Wind.esp" as high in the load order as possible, before any mods that alters signs and lanterns.
• Place each compatibility patch right after the mod it patches.

 

Example:

• Blowing in the Wind.esp
• CLARALUX.esp
• Blowing in the Wind - CLARALUX Patch.esp
• SMIM-Merged-All.esp
• Blowing in the Wind - SMIM Merged All Patch.esp"

Try adjusting that and see what happens.

I made those adjustments, unfortunately there seems to be no change. also i cant pinpoint the source of the grey texture, it seems to move around as i do but that could just be its erratic motion at all times. it also dissapears and reappears depending on the direction i am facing

 

 

 

Edit: Oh by the name of MOTHER****ING TALOS, it was Wet and Cold, i heard that mod causes problems but damn, uninstalling it seems to have fixed the problem completely.

Thanks for posting the answer. This will help others if they get the problem and many do not come back to share what they find.
