TUTORIAL: REMOVING UNWANTED MAGIC EFFECTS FROM THE PLAYER

[Kalanree]

@ xcellr8: Do you happen happen to run a lot of mods? (maybe one of them adds that spectral glow) I've had these kinds of glow appear when a spectral (ghost) Enemy was nearby. (e.g. when "The Headless Rider" appears) I used to run a Mod that expanded Winterhold and seemingly added Spectral Enemies to it, which caused that effect to appear the whole time I was in Winterhold or the College. This effect still occures to me when fightning Ghosts, however, when I kill them the effect usually disappears.

 

@Pow_R_Toc_H: Do you use the Immersive Creatures mod? I recall this mod added Draugrs with Red Glowing Eyes. I had this effect as well.

What worked for me was type "help abilities 4" and then I tried to add and remove every effect that was named "Draugr Abilities"

I can't detect a mod that would add that particular Draugr tho I don't know all of these mods. When exploring Nordic Ruins, do you fight Draugrs with red eyes from time to time? (that'd mean that something is adding them, afaik they're not in vanilla Skyrim)

Also you might wanna try this mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10431 - This fixed pretty much anything FX-related for me up until now. (except those red eyes I had, but those came from Immersive Creatures)

Ok I'll give that a try. Looking at my mods, there is one that adds Draugr types to my game. ArmoredSkeleton.esp from http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26706 looks to be the most likely cause. I just don't know what effect has been added to my character to cause the issue. My magic/effects menu shows nothing untoward.

 

Edit: Turn out that this Armored Skeletons mod was originally part of Immersive Creatures. I'll see what I can do and report back.

 

Edit 2: Found it! I used your "help abilities 4" command and found it was not a Draugr ability but a skeleton ability added by the Armored Skeleton Mod. player.addspell xx08d30c and then player.removespell xx08d30c removed the effect. (xx being the load order number)

 

Thanks a lot for your help Kalanree.

[Linkitch]

I had a bug where I couldn't read the Elder Scroll (Blood) in the Dawnguard questline. So I used a console command to get past it. Problem is I'm now stuck with the spell effect from the moths.

Does anyone have an idea how to remove it?

Hello everyone. First of all, thank you for the dedication, you guys are really helping us!

 

Then, I wanted to say I'm having this glitch with the Dragon Priest effect (purple aura/purple eyes near feet) and I found the code (9BCCA), but I can't remove it!

 

Any hint?

any idea what causes this?

 

No mod "causes" it. It's a vanilla bug. It's more common with mods because they are running the types of effects on the player which exacerbate the issue.

 

The most commonly reported FX bugs have been fixed in USKP 1.3.0. The scripts have been edited to short circuit if they are erroneously run on the player, which the vanilla game seems to love doing.

 

The ones fixed were: Draugr Eye FX, Ice Wraith FX, Steam Centurion FX, Spriggan FX.

 

I didn't think I was going to have to do many more but apparently everyone has gotten every type of FX attached to them... More may be fixed in later USKP versions.

It's me again. I tried to update USKP, but it couldn't fix it. I believe this problem may be related to "Armored Skeletons and The Walking Dead", but I'm not sure.

How do you find the various id's anyway?
