Character is glowing blue
So, I can't find any fix to this. My character started glowing blue after loading a save. Anyone else ever experience this? I'm playing with no mods.

It looks exactly the same as in this video: https://youtu.be/5-lpGkDfO7I

SOLUTION FOUND

So, today I tested the suggested fixes I got in here, and the one that fixed it for me was to travel to or from the institute :steamhappy:

Alternatively, one could go back to a previous save like I ended up doing before finding a fix, but now I would just use the other method mentioned above.

I also tried to get the effect on my character again and saving immediately after, and then loading, but it actually didn't do it this time so I don't know if that was the cause of it or not.

Thanks for all the great suggestions everyone, they are all much appreciated :gk_smile:

I tried doing that thanks to your suggestion, but sadly I'm still blue :steamlaughcry:

What mods are you running?

What armor perks are on your clothing pieces?

Were you using any pipboy mods or in stealth mode / with the flashlight on?

Did you REMOVE any mods between when you last played and when it started glowing like this?
if possible use the console command

player.dispelallspells

if this is an effect added by something then it should clear it up.

No mods at all. I loaded up a save that was displaying a white picture, which seemed to be the problem as all the other saves were okay. I did manage to fix it by going back to an older save. Lost some progress though, as I kept playing hoping it would wear off somehow :steamsad:

I wish I tried this. Gonna go back in the save tomorrow to find out if it works and then post an update here in case anyone else encounters this. Thank you :steamhappy:

Try to verify your files and see if that works. Good luck.

It looks like the glowing effect you get when you teleport to/from the Institute. Perhaps you should try teleporting there and back (if you've unlocked access)? .

That seems like the most probable reason for this to happen. As the save I loaded was one that I made straight after doing that. My guess is that my character had the effect when I made the save, making it permanent when loading that specific save.

I'll try that as well tomorrow and post an update if it works or not. Thank you :steamhappy:

Oh this is interesting, yeah if that effect gets stuck in a save!

Very interesting!
