"Breathing" Effect/Problem?

[NyoMaid]

Admittedly, this is my first FO4 playthrough (on a personal level, I watched my boyfriend play it through when it came out) so I don't know if this is actually normal or not.

 

I'm having a "breathing" issue that I think has to do with the weather, and while I'm not 100% sure if it's a mod issue/effect, I'm leaning towards "it probably is." It is not constant. It randomly happens, usually during bright/clear weather. I tried resetting the weather in the NAC holotape, but it didn't get rid of it. (I like to keep it on random weather, with real time climate, if that's anything)

Video examples:

You'll notice it goes from my sharp, saturated sort of look to a super gray and blurry one, then back. It happens seemingly at random. I have provided my mod list and LO as I'm not sure if this is NAC's fault or what.

(For NAC, I have disabled various weathers too, such as time warp and dark sky [and it's variants]. The video above happened during Clear/Sunny)

Thank you for your time.

Just a wild guess based on the vids you shared - have you checked the Misc Options settings (just above reset all settings) when you load the NAC holotape? From what you describe, it could be that one of the effects (fx) settings might be switched on unnecessarily. Looking through your mod list, the only thing that stood out to me wasI seeing that you're also using Fr4nssons's Light Tweaks mod (which is somewhat redundant when using NAC) so that might be something else to look into. Hope this helps.

Thank you, I'll take out that mod. I must've forgotten it when I put in NAC.

 

I checked the MIsc. Settings and I know I turned off stuff like Sunlight Variation, Fake Interior Darkening, Radioactive Rain. The first two were turned off thinking that might be the culprit. I've loaded up the game for tonight and I don't see the effect even happening again (Same spot, time, weather, as I saved and logged out moments after recording the second video).

 

 

--- Mid post here I went in and tested some theories and I think I figured it out. It's the effect from taking a stimpack (I didn't recall ever seeing that before outside of the initial blurryness). Is it supposed to keep going? I turned off the Chem&Alcohol VFX as well as Radiation VFX and took another stimpack, nothing seems to be happening this time. it's really strange because I hadn't taken any stimpacks before the clips above. So I turned Chem/Alcohol back on, but left Radiation off, took several stimpaks in a row (thank god for previous saves) and now I only get the stimpak effect, nothing else lingers.

 

Are stimpaks supposed to have a radiation visual even though they don't do anything regarding radiation? Or is it maybe just NAC being fancy?

 

 

Thank you for your post, it definitely helped me look in the right place.

The stimpack fx should only trigger once (and be temporary) to my best knowledge. Using several in quick succession might have caused it to linger, but I'm unsure as to why (you could try testing using two, then three etc to narrow it down, although if it's happening even when you only use one it might be best to switch off Chem fx completely)

[NyoMaid]

Yeah. I've turned off Radiation VFX for now and left on the Chem/Alcohol and see how it goes for a while. If it happens again, I'll turn off Chem FX too and see if that lessens it.

 

Thank you for taking the time to help me :)

Glad to be of help.
