Strange Enchanted Hide Helmets

Post » Sat Aug 08, 2015 1:45 am

I was out killing bandits earlier today and one of them dropped a hide helmet with the enchantment of "5".

Now, I had another strangely enchanted hide helmet last night when I met the Old Orc on the road, except it was enchanted as "CyyyG" and then a block.
I then encountered yet another hide helmet before the 5, and at that point I don't know what's going on.

Does anybody know what the main cause of this is? I've been playing Skyrim for a few months now and I only made a Bethesda account to get help from the community to see if they've come across this before.

Edit Note: I can't seem to post pictures of the enchanted helmets because for some reason it's not letting me link images.

Sorry, but you're not allowed to post links until you've made at least 10 posts to the forum - it's an antispam measure.

It sounds like item names have somehow gotten corrupted. Are you using any mods in your game? If you are, posting a load order would be helpful.

One thing you can try is to validate your local files through Steam.

Welcome to the forums, BTW. :smile:

If anything's up, I'd like to know!

Oh, and checking the validity of TESV: Skyrim, apparently 1 file was invalid and was reacquired, which I think is normal...right?
I'll have to re-check if the hide helmet dilemma is alleviated, and I'll give a heads-up.

This definitely sounds like a mod issue.

You probably want to look into creating a bashed patch. Are you using NMM or Mod Organizer?

I'm using NMM.

I also tried spawning some bandits near me and slaughtering them on my current save, nothing seems out of the ordinary so far.

It also turns out the invalid file was my settings. Got reverted to default, so I had to fix that up again.

Honestly if it isn't too frequent a thing I would just ignore it.
