atlashorizon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I, too, am having this issue, although at a slightly brighter color. It comes and goes, although at this current time it's been steady for 15 minutes. I am running mods, quite a few in fact, and am willing to give a list if anybody thinks it might help. All I can say is, halp please. :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviform Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hmm, I sometimes get that effect very briefly when I activate a spell of some sort, such as turning invisible or becoming ethereal. Do you have a mod that works to that effect? Could it be those goggles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaradin Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Could be a problem with your graphics card. I had a similar issue with the Seasons of Skyrim ENB where I'd get a blue/green tint. Turned out that something in the latest patches for my Nvidia graphics card was causing a conflict which resulted in the tint. However, if you don't use an ENB then this issue could be related to your ini files. I've heard that if you reset your game through the console command that a new ini file can be created which messes up your game's color - this ini file doens't replace your previous files nor show up in your documents file, it instead sits in your data folder of Skyrim with an obscure name under the ini file type. If you find a configuration file in your data folder that you don't recognize - such as "Water" for me - delete it and see if that resolves your issue. I hope this helps. Edit: Also, that tint looks remarkably similar to being Ethereal. Perhaps it glitched after you made the shout?

atlashorizon Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well, the blue was becoming a headache, so my boyfriend and I started trying different things. I play on PC, so I cheated myself the ethereal shout and unlocked it, and sure enough when I used it after it ended I had color again. Beautiful, vibrant color. I'm so happy I could cry. So if you don't find anything else out, try that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larfymeal Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 holy crap after so long of looking for a fix it was as simple as that!!! haha. So happy I can play my game again, many thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel3000 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I have the same issue. The bluish tint comes and goes in some areas but is persistent in others. I have noticed that it is somehow connected to "ghosts" (like the headless horseman or hte ghost of Valdar in Valthume ruin) appearing. If I change cells the effect usually disappears and everything is normal again. It also happend in Sky Haven Temple with the mod "Recruit more blades" installed. As the ghosts there are pretty stationary (ghost of the Blades quartermaster) so is the bluish tint - which completely ruined the atmosphere of the mod. My best guess is that it is somehow related to a mod as the effect is not inherent to Vanilla Skyrim, I just don't know which one. So unless the effect doesn't go away at all, don't blame your graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sephiroth1127 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 For a while I had a blue faded tint to everything and couldn't pin down what the issue was, I tried the ethereal shout thing and it didn't work. I read online that it could have been a corrupt save file or some sort of modified file in the, but there is the possibility that it may be from an incompleted quest, or so this was the case for me. In the college of winterhold there is an apprentice mage, Breylana Maryon, if you let her experiment on you and your screen turns green, you have to leave and wait for it to "go back to normal" but it just had the faded appearance. It takes a while and you might forget to go back, like I did. Later, after wondering what the heck is going on with the screen color, and looking online, and all kinds of fiddling and reloading and playing with gear, I looked at the quest log and that quest title text was larger font than the other quests, so I went back, upon enter the Hall of Attainment the colors came back and everything seems to be normal again. I'm gonna travel to some of the areas I was at previously and cast some of the same spells to see if I can retrigger it. I had thought it might have been a piece of equipment or something but it's look like it was this quest. Hope this helps at least some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
