Dead bodies with Open Eyes Bug

Post » Wed Mar 20, 2013 6:18 pm


I need help with this somewhat glaring problem I recently encountered.


I recently bought a new desktop and installed Skyrim on it. Updated with all the DLC. Installed NMM, SKSE and a truckload of mods (40+). Lately I've noticed that after I kill human enemy NPCs, their eyes remain open. AFAIK in all my previous playthroughs on both PS3 and my previous PCs, eyes of dead NPCs are always closed. Why is it different this time?


Here are some details about it. Once they're dead, eyes open. If you remove an article of clothing- whether just shoes or headgear or armor, or everything, they close their eyes. But if you animate them (with a raise spell) their eyes are strangely CLOSED. But when it wears off (I installed the 'possessive corpses' mod that removes the ash pile limitation on low-level necromancy spells), their eyes are open again.


I've tried turning off various mods that involve the character models- but this happens to both female and male NPCs of any race. I even turned off ALL plugins on NMM, it's STILL there.


I know that this may be interpreted as 'gritty' or more 'realistic' as death stares often happen. But I DON'T LIKE IT. I don't like how it looks and I am bothered by it. I want it back to the way before, where corpses are dead with their eyes closed. I don't like having to loot corpses just to close their eyes.


What may have caused this- perhaps the latest updates? Can there be a fix? As of this writing I have just gone and done a full reinstall- but I am worried it may happen again. Please help! Below is a vid of the bug. It's really bothering me. Please help!
