Groups of Lanterns spawining in mid air for some reason

[opinionateddrone]

So I'm having a weird issue.

 

Windows 7 64

AMD A8-7650K

16GB of DDR 3

AMD Radeon RX 480

 

I have Skyrim, Hearthfires, Dragonborn & Dawnguard. I don't know if there is any effective difference between having purchased the original game and all the DLC vs having "Legendary Edition."

 

I'm using the Organic ENB Preset with my own customized enblocal.ini file.

 

Skyrim and other programs related to skyrim are installed in a folder I created to avoid any permissions issues with the Windows "Program Files" folder.

 

C\Program Files (Games)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim
C:\Program Files (Games)BethINI Standalone\
C:\Program Files (Games)\DynDOLOD\
C:\Program Files (Games)\ENB Reshade Manager\
C:\Program Files (Games)\LOOT\
C:\Program Files (Games)\Mator Smash\ *unused*
C:\Program Files (Games)\Merge Plugins\ *unused*
C:\Program Files (Games)\Mod Organizer 2\
C:\Program Files (Games)\Ordenador\
C:\Program Files (Games)\Save Tool\
C:\Program Files (Games)\tes5edit\

 

 

 

I've recently started using Mod Organizer 2 to mod Skyrim. I had been using NMM for a while, even after development was take over by the community. I decided to try MO after a recent re-install of Skyrim using all new saves, freshly downloaded mods, and sofourth. I've got MO2 installed using the default profile, installed as a "portable" to avoid use of the "<user>\AppData\" folder.

 

So I installed all the mods I know work with my computer setup, and everything is working great. Watched GamerPoets' Youtube tutorials to integrate some of the more complicated mods into Mod Organizer, because everything is different and yet somehow better using Mod Organizer. Everything is completely modular and it's amazing.

 

...And I might have gotten a little carried away. Here I am at 255 Plugins and thinking about using Merge Plugins to free up some of those precious plugin slots, once I'm sure my game is working properly, only time will tell...

 

 

 

Wait. What the f^*k is that?

 

 

 

This isn't the first time I've seen this. Weird groupings of Lanterns. I never quite know where I'm going to happen upon them. I don't know which mod is causing it or why or what it could be related to. But I hate it. It breaks immersion and makes me want to quit out and do something else. Sometimes the lanterns are in the sky, sometimes in the floor, sometimes somewhere in-between.

If I jump through them to try and knock them around, the whole group descends slowly.

 

 

Thank you to anyone willing to help me pin down and eliminate this problem.

 

This is my current plugins list, as sorted through LOOT. I have 298 total mods installed, with 255 Plugins

Anyone?

[Gudlaugsson]

I'm getting this, too. I don't use Lanterns of Skyrim but I do use Quick Light which spawns a lantern at your hip. I assumed it was related.
It not only spawns lanterns but also horn candles and plates of candles sometimes. Mostly lanterns, though, of varying sizes.

We ARE both using DynDOLOD. I think DynDOLOD is moving lanterns and doesn't have their position set correctly or something.
I found a group of lanterns, saved it, quit, disabled DynDOLOD and reloaded and they were gone.
I've been disabling them when I found them.. so now I think I just killed random lanterns all over the place. Meh
