Downloaded a new armor set today and I have this glitch with it:

The armor is made up of a number of separate pieces and it's just the "ornament" piece that causes this. I know you may not be able to help me with this specific mod, but has anyone seen a glitch like this before and know what to do about it? I've tried reinstalling the mod and restating the game. No luck.

It looks like that physics glitch that sometimes occurs after killing something in FO 3, except that flies around. What mod is it and have you checked the readme to see if there are compatibility issues with certain body types?

It's a mod called 'Glamorous Mage Armor'. I can't read the readme as it is a Japanese mod (I can actually read Japanese but the readme file opens in a jumbled symbol language). I've seen screenshots though and none of these glitches occur. Any suggestions on how I could fix it?

The best thing to do is to keep an eye on this topic. Someone else may have a better idea. In the meantime, try the mod with another race. I can't make out what your lady is, but if she's, say, Bosmer, give an Imperial a try. Sometimes body size can play havoc with a mod.

She's an Imperial, just to clarify. But yeah I'll keep watching this topic and try some different things in the mean time.

Can you give us a link to download and try the mod.
I could not find it on TESNexus.

If you use Wrye Bash, try using the Vanilla Skeleton Tweak fix. Looks like the effect you get when an armor that explicitly uses the tail slot is used on a race without a tail slot.

Or, TESNexus has a "maximum compatibility skeleton" that may fix it as well.
