Recognize this visual effect?

[TheMalazan]

These are two screenshots of a visual effect that is considerably irritating. In one, how it appears in third person; in the other, first person (which I play 99.9% of the time). The effect occurs each time I go into combat mode and persists until combat is complete. It happens regardless of the environment and whether or not I have any followers tagging along. Different armor has no effect. It's not so bad outdoors or in well-lit areas, but in high contrast situations such as crypts or caves, the 'fog' often makes it difficult to see/aim.

 

Furthermore, the visual effect does not correspond with any perk or buff that I can see when reviewing the magic effects window.

 

As I have 450+ mods in this playthrough and are locked in with numerous merges and a MatorSmash patch, I'm reluctant to start switching mods off/on. I would be able to edit the effect, though, if I can find the offending mod.

 

Potential culprits--several, but at the top of the list: Apocalypse, Ordinator, Summermyst.

Can you look into the list of the enhancement you have? It's next to the Power list on SKyUI. It would list all your bonuses from equipment, buffs, along with any poison or disease effect. Then start stripping to reduce the buff list. You should be able to narrow down to at least the name of the effect.

A temporary work-around is console command player.removespell <SpellID> to remove the effect. But you need to know the ID of the spell.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I misnamed the "Active Effects" window in my original post by using the term "Magic Effects". So, yes, I've looked there both before, during and after combat and cannot find the culprit. I am going to do some Papyrus logging and should be able to figure things out...maybe.

I thought I'd follow up with my resolution for this problem.

 

Contrary to my original statement, I was not as thorough as I originally thought and was finally able to determine the effect was originating from wearing the "Regretful Cowl" which is included in Judgment Wenches (a really nice group of mods including Hateful Wenches, etc). The author of that mod had attached the Frost Atronach visual effect to the cowl which was activated 'oncombat'. Thanks to xEdit, that effect was replaced with Null and like magic, no longer bothers me when playing.
