Red Skies and Thunder ?
Funny thing here, although I have played this game for oh so many hours over countless Xbox's and now three PC's, I have never finished the main quest.

No probs to me as I really like this game. Thing is, so on my current play-through, the sky, has turned red as if I am close to an Oblivion gate. It will not change !

I have even tried fast travelling away (not something that I useually use) and it still follows me. I am aware of most of the glitches in this game, but this is a new one to me.

Any advice, much appreciated

sounds like a corrupt weather mod or script, maybe you can reset it if you travel to shivering island and back. sounds weird, but it has already helped me many times.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give that a go in a while. If that doesn't work, I guess it'll be back to TES4Edit for a little cleaning spree !

have you tried using the console to manually change the weather or purge the cells, stuff like that?

Well I have tried fast travelling to the Shivering Isles, although it didn't follow me there, it was still there when I returned, and cell purging, but to no avail. Have currently made my way to an Oblivion gate (in-game) to see if closing that will clear it.

If not, I can try going back to a save before the sky changed and the constant thunder came, either way I can put up with it if I have to, it's not a game killer.

Well shutting an Oblivion gate didn't do it either, weird, of all the bugs and glitches that I have encountered and read about, this is a new one to me.

Oh well, guess I'll just put up with it and see if it clears it self in time.

any mods running, specifically ones that deal with shaders or lighting?

Ha, yeah many.

I don't think that it is lighting or weather related, although I could be wrong.

I say this as the environment has changed as if I am in the vacinety of an Oblivion gate. The game will change all weather and lighting accordinally when this happens (replacing the existing values).

what im thinking is that maybe one of the mods is preventing the game from realizing that you have left the vacinity, maybe preventing the script from running a recheck or something like that.

Hmm, yes I see what yo mean. It changed just after I came out of a cave, but straight away. I looked around to see if another Oblivion gaate had just opened by me as there were none around (and none displayed on the HUD).

I have not changed my mod list since the begining of the year, but did rebuild the Bashed Patch about three months ago.

the only thing i can think of is a script hiccup, where something got flaggeds that shouldnt have been. Have you tried going into an oblivion gate and closing, to force the sripts to re-run?

Yeah I tried that a little earlier, as like you I thought that would be the best chance of forcing it to change back, no joy.

I'm still playing it as it really isn't game breaking to me. Just turned up the music to drown out the constant thunder and enabled the subtitles :0)
