Quest to Fix Skyrim

[Zhalkrod]

The cryptic answer for fixing my heavily modded Skyrim still eludes me. Certain NPCs, particularly forsworn and bandits, have grid lines on their face and/or have a head of different color. I have dug through TES5Edit and failed to find the source of the conflict. I have exported all FaceGenData for Skyrim.esm and all DLCs. The problem persists. I have tried disabling all the mods that mess with FaceGenData, but it changed nothing. Is there anyone, perhaps someone with experience in this area, who has advice as to how I can fix this one issue which has kept me from enjoying this awesome game for months? Web searches and countless attempts to remedy this annoyance have done me no good up to this point and I have no idea as to what needs to be done.

You really need to provide more information for anyone to assist you in figuring out what could be causing your issues. What are the mods in your mod order? What hardware are you running? How about some screenshots on what this issue looks like? What mods did you uninstall/disable while in a playthrough of the game. All these will help us help you.

Well, just so's you know youre not alone....... I have three market stalls in Solitude that are "stall-less" with fish and meats hovering in the air with no table and the stall holders just standing there like, "Well, whats wrong with that?" and amidst them is a flying cow that refuses to stand anywhere but six feet off the ground hovering. But I guess if nobody ever told him he couldnt hover he wouldnt know that he cant. :P

Another irritating issue I have is a ghostly layer of clouds, ivy and rocks randomly appearing 80% transparent everywhere.

Gotta love Skyrim. :-)

With so many edits and mods, the sensible suggestion would be to figure out when you started getting these grid lines over everything. Is there a screenshot you can share that shows this issue?
