Yellow ring texture

[ToothBow]

My settlers have started randomly turning a glowing yellow, with pulsing rings. They don’t all do it. They do it with a number of different mod clothing, and they do it with vanilla clothing. I’ve tried shutting off numerous mods but nothing seems to help. I’m betting someone may have run into this before and found a solution?

Thanks a ton if you have and can pass along any tips to fix it

Might it be something to do with berry Mentats or an eyewear mod / power armor HUD mod; stuff you are wearing? https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/458604254432702823/

thanks for the ideas dikr. unfortunately I've never had a berry mentat (or loaded that mod). And the only time I've used power armor is many hours before this glitch started when I did the mission to save Garvey and his crew, so I haven't knowingly loaded any power armor or HUD mods.

 

Anything else you can think of to solve this? It's really a pain. Their clothing shows up fine when I trade with them and do T to make it active, but as soon as I let them go some of them will randomly start that glow. Oddly, not all of them.. argggggg

list your mods and we will go from there.

if using Nexus Mod Manager - launch it - click on Plugins tab - click on the 5th icon down (Export The Current Load Order) - locate said list, open it up and paste it here

if you have an Excessive Amount of Mods, be sure to put the Mod List in a Spoiler:

In an effort to try some in-game troubleshooting I found the power armor set, put it on, and ran back to a settlement where some people glow and pulse yellow. Didn’t help.

 

I then one by one deactivated each of the clothing/armor mods I have installed. After each uninstall I logged back in to check until they were all gone - SuiteDreams, EasyGirl, 2pacSkimpy, Honest Abes armor. Still didn’t do anything. I dressed a few settlers in basic vanilla outfits and they still glowed.

do you have the rank 2 of scrapper perk, as that is what adds the yellow glow on stuff tagged, if so it looks like an anomaly with clothing that you have giving specific settlers, where the clothing you are giving them Contain components that may have been tagged, thus the yellow glow around specific settlers.

 

otherwise looking at your mods i cant see any that would add yellow glowing, maybe legendary modifications mod.

 

Scrapper Rank 2: You can salvage rare components like circuitry, nuclear material, and fiber optics when scrapping weapons and armor. Items with favorited components are highlighted (that highlight being yellow glow around stuff that contains said components.) <-- i have never had this perk so i do not know exacly how it works, but i have dealt with full perks overhauls so i remembered this perk.

 

then ofcourse as mentioned above, Targeting Hud (could of been added as a legendary effect), that highlights living targets, that would be another thing that could be causing the highlight. and since you use better settlers, theoretically some of them will be modded, which could conflict with said target highlight effect, and thus cause specific settlers to highlight.

dang you're smart, lol. Thanks for the tips, I'll have a look in those directions and let you know when I can get back into the game

There is no joy in Mudville tonight I’m afraid. I tried your excellent ideas xXxPYR0ST0RMxXx but without success.

 

Turns out I had level 1 of the scrapper perk not 2, but I went ahead and did a respec anyway. Checked my yellow glowies with no perks in the scrapper section selected and it didn’t change anything. I then disabled the legendaries mod as you mentioned just in case but again it didn’t make them go away. Each time I shut the game down and restart.

 

This is really frustrating. Not so good for immersion when 1 out of 4 settlers are pulsing yellow at you. Anyone think of anything else I might be able to try? I deeply appreciate the help
