Weird shadows

[ThatBrazilianGuy]

Hello! I would like to ask your help with this strange shadow glitch which, as it seems, I could track it down to the NAT mod (uninstalled it and the problem was gone; reinstalled and the problem showed up again). I'll post my load order and a link to a video with the reported issue below:

Thank you very much for your attention and a merry christmas to the whole community!

I don't see the bashed patch. Are you using Wrye Bash or do you play SSE on the console (XB1)?

 

Regardless what your issue is, the NAT (I dunno what the NAT acronym stands for) mod is likely what's causing your shadow issue, so I suggest that you report it to the author just let him/her fix this.

Hey leonardo2! Thanks for the quick response. I play SSE on the PC, but use no bashed patch, there are some mods that do not recommend it (for example Enhanced Blood Textures). Rather, I let LOOT sort my load order and use only patches made for the appropriate mods. NAT stands for Natural Atmospheric Tamriel, which is the only lighting-affecting mod I use. But surely there's something I must be doing wrong, because I couldn't find complaints regarding the same issues as I (or perhaps the keywords I used in my research weren't so accurate as to find me proper threads...). In case I get no more responses here, I will follow your suggestion and try to contact the mod creator personally for troubleshooting.

 

In any case, thank you very much for your time and have a great day!

does this happen inside taverns as well?

[ThatBrazilianGuy]

Funny enough... no... used Skyrim Unbound to start at an inn and all seems fine.... I wonder now if it is an isolated case or if it is an exteriors light issue...

[3aq]

it seems to be an isolated instance, where the light source is beaming against the tent blown in the wind causing that wavy shadow effect. That is my educated case.
