NPC models are red with scanlines
No idea what's up. For some reason, all the NPC models in my game just got this red outer layer with scanlines on them. It happened when I fast-traveled to Sanctuary. The game still plays fine other than that, but even after turning the game off and turning it back on, they are still red.

I do have some mods installed, but this happened a few hours of play after the most recent mod was already installed (whihc was a mod for that Radio, so it shouldn't really affect it anyway). Any tips? If you want to see a picture of it, there should be one on my profile.

sounds like the berrymentats bug , living creatures are highlighted red
I figured it out. Somehow I glitched the game and I my view ended up getting the highlighted view that the Armor Modded glasses have. I just put on glasses, then took them of and it was fixed.

Do you have Power Armor with targeting hud mod? It has the same visual.

I was just looking for a similar question of the "Red scanlined" NPC's. Lucky I found that I'm not the only one.
So the problem is a power armor, can you say what kind of power armor it is?
Can the problem be undo with to un-install the mod?
What do I have to do to get the Red scanlines to be gone for ever?

I had the same problem. Turns out all I needed to do was sleep and problem solved. Simple.

Got a update. Was using the Horizon mod which changes a lot of things. I deactivated it and both the red scan lines and the LookUp Failed glitch were both gone.

I just ran into the same problem.

The orange/red NPC's appeared only while in the power armor. I checked what types of items composed my power armor and found that the helmet I was wearing;
the Targeting Vault-Tec T-60b Helmet.

So I took off the helmet and the orange/red highlighting on NPC's was fixed.
