Cursed by Black Particle Swirlies D:

So I've been enjoying Dragonborn with my sexeh kitty, dungeon crawling, doing my thing, and then I notice these... strange black particles following me everywhere:

And they will NOT go away. I don't have any diseases, no negative magical effects, no positive magical effects from armor, and I highly doubt it's storyline related.

 

I think they only started happening after I met Miraak, or at least that's when I noticed them. Does anyone have any idea what these could possibly be? Nothing will make them go away, and they're very distracting :C

 

I don't have a very large mod list, but my biggest ones:

 

• Dawnguard
• Dragonborn
• Hearthfire
• SkyRe
• Wet and Cold
• Convenient Horses
• Dragons Diversified
• Immersive Armors
• Immersive Weapons
• SkyUI

Also, on that note, is there a quicker way to copy-paste my modlist? I imagine the problem may be in the mods, but it could just be the bugginess of Dragonborn too.

It's a spell effect from a creature that got added to your character because Skyrim. Looky here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/872861-tutorial-removing-unwanted-magic-effects-from-the-player/page-1

 

The last page contains the IDs from stuff that got added by the dragonborn DLC: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/872861-tutorial-removing-unwanted-magic-effects-from-the-player/page-8&do=findComment&comment=7369220

 

I don't recognize this particular effect, so you have to do a bit trial and error, I guess. I have to say, I never had this problem, but with Dragonborn I already got effects from Dwarven Spiders, Draugr and the Death Hounds from Dawnguard stuck on my character. bleh

Oh gods, thank you, I was worried I'd be stuck with it forever D:

 

Funny, too, that thread says this is one of the most common problems people have, yet this is the first time in about 500 hours that I've seen it happen. Thanks

[nekroskoma]

do you have any of the unoffical patches? i think it fixes alot of the effects sticking but the changelogs are long and its been awhile since i read them

 

it a pretty common problem alltogether for effects to get stuck on characters even though they should not at all, just think of those on console who get hit with it

 

personally i rack it up to one of those odd bugs in the engine, or somebody who forgot to check a checkbox

By the nine.. =o! Have you tried the classic "stick" remover yet? I know for most pre patch bugs, UN equipping your gear or dropping it in a container would remove glitched arrows, spells, etc.. ?

Nope, no unofficial patches yet. I tend to wait (perhaps foolishly) for DLC to be mostly complete before picking up UOPs, to make sure they're more comprehensive. I do feel bad for those on console versions with no access to these fixes x.x I really think they could put a command console into those versions; a bit of extra effort using a keyboard with an analog stick/d-pad is worth the ability to debug, in my opinion.

No, but I'll keep that in mind next time it happens, might save me a trip to the console.
