SAC wtf is that shader

Background: after installing NN sex mods which apply NNN effects, my character started to get a red glow every time a sex act was finished. This quickly became extremely annoying, so I've started asking around, then disabling random MCM settings and/or plugins which quickly became even more annoying.

 

Eventually I got wiser and wrote this highly complex (1 quest, 1 line of code) mod, which pinpointed the "culprit" in about 1 minute - it was Pet Collar, by the way. 

 

What the mod does is write a line in the papyrus log whenever an effect hits the player with a shader effect, in this format

 

"SAC monitor - this magic effect " + akeffect + " hit the player with this " + akeffect.gethitshader() + " shader"

 

with the full base ids of the effect and the shader.

 

After you identify the effect, you can toggle it / patch it yourself / ask the mod author to help, depending on the particular mod.

 

You need to enable Papyrus logging in order to use. Disable logging after you identify the effect, if you feel you must - I have it on full time and feel no impact.

 

The mod is most likely safe to uninstall, but to be safest:

 

- do a save before installing

- install the mod, it starts automatically

- once the shader hits, quit the game, search the trace file (search by "SAC monitor"), identify the cause then uninstall the mod and revert to the clean save

 

(it's a lot more effective and easy than unplugging random mods to see if it goes away)

I don't understand what you mean

Probably read only 1-2 lines of the original post.

Thanks for it btw, I do not have any use atm, but I remember in LE times that some effect was haunting my char  and I read a day about unwanted effects and how to get rid of them. I remember that some posting, where someone compiled a bunch of effects and how to remove them, finally did the trick. It was very annoying.
