Spells disappear during skill checks
So anytime I try to cast friend, guidance, great old one, or anything during a skill check it doesn't activate until I leave the skill check. This is particularly bad during dialogue because I can't redo a dialogue check and stuff. Has anyone else came across this problem? Example video of when it happens. It happens only after I talked to Gortesh right before entering the lower city in act 3

So some other relevant facts. I have played my whole game fine up until act 3 and up until that spoiled message. But after talking to them I can no longer use those associated spells in skill checks. The only spell mod I have is 5E spells. If You want a list of all my mods I can but I think that is the only one that should matter at the moment?

Likely an issue caused by a mod that alters spells.

I do have mods yes but up until this point my game has been running just fine. I've been able to add skill checks whenever and wherever I want. It was only after I talked to gortesh that this happened right before I entered the lower city

Try removing the mod and see if that fixes it.

I would but last time I tried removing mods it crashed the entire game. I'll try again but my only spell mod is 5E spells. It has been working just fine up until this point

5e spells...yeah dont use that mod. It can cause a ton of various issues including introducing stutters to areas.

Is that so? I definitely noticed that in act 3 it has much much worse performance. I was just wanting more spells for myself and stuff

I used the mod at first for the same reason. I love having more spells but the performance issues and weird bugs it would cause just werent worth it.

Did you notice it throughout your play through or just during act 3? That is the only time I am having problems

If you play organically it will start in act 3 but if you use a method to max you level in act 1 then you will get some tiny stutters but they are not nearly as bad as they will be in act 3 because that act alone already has some performance issues so its like throwing gas on a fire.

Ok I'll see if I can just turn them off and see if that works. It sucks though hopefully something gets fixed
