I have a heavily modded game that worked very well untill I decided to add the "real" mods like real hunger and kuertee customisable HUD components. The only problem I had before this addition was double the guards in imperial city trying to steal each others standing spots so I know everything is good. I have cleaned many of the esp and pyffied many meshes.

The issue is that after creating a new character (cause my old save did not work with the upgrade to pluggy 1.25 >1.32 that above mod needed), every 5 seconds or so what looks like a spell cast shoots a lightning bolt somewhat vertical while leaving a white cloud coming from the ground. I uninstalled the new mods I added, rebuilt the patch, and reverted pluggy. Still any new character causes the same thing. I wouldn't post but I am at my wit's end!!

Here is the bridged mod list, I wont post the whole thing since it is very long. I removed unofficial patches, DLC, Unique landscapes, and sensual walk esps to keep things short. I also have full FCOM (MMM+OOO+artifacts, etc.. like everything literally) install which I removed from the list. Everything is ordered by BOSS.

The list is still super long, sorry... but any help would be greatly appreciated. If more info is needed let me know... I really don't want to have to redue the install!

Something to do with Scripted Magic Effects, or Magic Script Effect. Never could wrap my head around that thing...
Anyway, use Duke Patricks Basic Script Effect Silencer to (hopefully) get rid of it.

Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is indeed "fireworks" as described.

Just tried out Duke Patricks script effect silencer. Unfortunately it did not work, tried putting at the very end, bash patching it, and using BOSS but they were all fails. I am going to try some more script silencers.

If you're using Reneer's Guard Overhaul v2.51, it is a known issue. Downgrade to v2.50 and check the thread for more info. :foodndrink:

So thats what was happening to my game, tho' taking everything out didn't help I'm in the process of reinstalling now just glad to know why it started happening I was totally baffled. :rofl:

I've seen this problem posted many times over thje past few weeks

I hope the offending mod is found and the problem addressed soon, nobody seems to know what's causing it

Lol, I just discovered it was reneer's this morning through process of elimination. I should have checked this earlier! tyvm, it is indeed reneers that is causing the effect, downgrading solve the problem and all the mods work now.
