What is this 'slow-moving grey smoke' Skyrim player effect?
In Skyrim Special Edition, this effect is permanently attached to my player. If I can find the right code I know I can remove it with player.addspell/player.removespell
, but after lots of searching, I haven't been able to identify the right one.
It's a slow-moving grey smoke, maybe a slight greenish tinge, with faster swirling lighter grey parts.
Solution 1:
Try resolving the problem using a 'Cure All' batch file.
These files list all known active effects from the base game and DLC (and the Wet & Cold and Skyrim Immersive Creatures mods), preceded by the player.sme
command (which stands for 'Stop Magic Effect' on 'player'), and can be executed using the in-game console.
You can find an archive file with these batch files under Solution 4 on this page. Here is a direct link (you need a (free) account in order to download). The file was created by NexusForums user LubitelSofta.
Be sure to take off all your (enchanted) gear beforehand.
Instructions as per the Nexus forum thread:
- Extract the files to your Skyrim root folder (not the data subfolder).
- Edit the Dawnguard, Dragonborn, or WC or SIC batch files (if necessary) so that every shader or effect ID matches your load order (see above).
- Start the game.
- In the console type
bat <filename>
(without quotes), e.g.bat DBMGEF
.
Solution 2:
You can remove all applied spells by using player.DispelAllSpells, I believe. Note that this will also remove blessings and apparel effects, so you will need to unequip and re-equip armor to re-apply the effects from armor.
