Does anyone know what this is? I feel like I've seen it before, but I am not sure. It is a great candidate for the CPS Library, hopefully, so it would be nice to know what the real cause is.

I'm not sure that's actually a problem with the sky. That grass thing is something I've seen before myself while carrying lights in the wilderness. Sometimes grass turns black, almost like there's duplicate grass meshes there or something. It looks very odd but I've never figured out what causes it.

It's a lighting issue, see how the trees, rocks, player don't appear to get dark at night? The grass is changing because grass is reflective, so without the day sky it isn't reflecting. The other objects aren't reflective so don't change appearance.

My first suggestion would be some sort of conflict between two or more of the following:

_Real_Lights.esp
Natural_Weather_HDR_by_Max_Tael.esp
10Interior_Light-7162.esp

The BOSS note after Natural Weather HDR by Max Tael catches my eye rather quickly:
". Note: Original mod is heavily bugged. Make sure you are using Ryu Doppler's fixed version."

Disabling this ESP would be a wise first move.

Those were my guesses. I guess we'll see.


Thanks for the replies all!
