I go invisible every time I crouch?
So I seem to be having the problem of turning invisible every time I crouch. I'm aware that there's this bug involved with the Far Harbor DLC where you stay invisible permanently until you uninstall and reinstall the DLC. But for some reason it always happens whenever I crouch. Yes, I've tested this in and out of power armour, and I don't have the stealth boy addon for the armour either.
I have heard somewhere that it may be related to mods that I may have installed, and believe me, I have plenty installed, and sometimes disabling and re-enabling them might help.
But would it be caused by a particular mod or just the DLC itself? Any help or support would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using any armor mods or added stealth to your armor, stealth boys are designed to do that.
Its a perk from leveling the sneaking skill.

The only armor mods (as in game mods) are just new power armor sets and paints. As for the armor I currently have, I only have a Jetpack mod on it.

So the perk itself is somehow making me go invisible every time? That's annoying.

Its only brief, less than 2 seconds. Try not to use the pip boy directly after crouching as it makes all the menus weird and transparent too.

Scroll back into 3rd person and try crouching, you'll see the effect appear, then wear off.

Chameleon armor items will do that as well as lvl 5 sneak (though the latter is a brief effect)

Well I'll be sure to give it a try, but all my recent attempts to dissuade the permanent effect haven't gone too well.

It's probably the latter. I mean, I can crouch and then I go completely invisible, and then when I stand back up, I stay invisible, and it doesn't vanish.

I have tried that, but sadly the main issue is that I stay permanently invisible after standing up, and stay invisible from then on.

Oh, so it's that bug.

Yeah, my mod won't fix that permanent invisibility.

However, there is a mod that actually fixes it, however I can't say if it's fixing it by not ruining the perk itself. The mod is not on PC though, but for Xbox One and what the author did was he completely removed the invisibility spell from the perk.

If you have knowledge in the CK, you can go inside and delete the spell. I can't guarantee if the perk will still function as intended after that, but it does fix the invisibility bug.

I personally never had the bug myself, so I have no detailed insight as to why it happens.

Well so far I've got this mod on as well as another one which removes the whole invisible effect, so at least it's still playable. Hopefully Bethesda can find a fix for it either in a future update or in a DLC patch.

It's been a while and its probably solved, but i thought i should mention that the "chameleon" armors have this effect. if you crouch and are standing still they will make you invisible

Ninja perk, level 4. This is normal.

for all of those who have the glitch where you turn invis while crouching WITHOUT any chameleon armor or sneak/ night person perks... this mod helped me fix it... https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18569?tab=description
