UPDATE: Found the culprit. I was right, it's caused by a children mod, though it's not RS Children, Children + Soul Gems causes it. My character has a child in WR who starts running around at 08:00 AM. If I equip or unequip the armor/clothes on my character when this child is around, my char gets the eye glitch. If I disable this child and do the same... yep, NO eye glitch. The existence of other (vanilla) children in WR doesn't seem to affect it, so RS Children is most likely harmless. I still don't know what the fuck this mod does and how this child who's controlled by this mod manages to affect my character's eyes. As I've told you, I have had similar eye issues with this mod before, and this is a new one. Most likely one of its scripts trying to update the eyes of the children fucks things up. I'll have a look at its scripts now. By the way, I'm pretty sure your character's facial expression would change or gets interrupted if you equip or unequip a body armor while having an expression on her/his face. This is most likely NOT related to the eye problem I'm currently having and it fixes itself anyway, so two different things.

UPDATE: First off, this problem has nothing to do with the mod(s) I mentioned earlier and it looks like I only get these bug eyes when other NPCs are around (in Whiterun for instance), it doesn't happen when alone in a cell. Could this be an issue caused by children mods, such as RS Children? Cause when I tested it early in the morning (around 6-7AM) it didn't happen. It only happened after the child NPCs started wandering around in WR. Here's a screenshot comparison to show you the issue I'm talking about... My conclusion is that if I equip another armor or clothing when children are around my character gets these bug eyes. Any ideas how to fix it? I vaguely recall that I have encountered a similar bug before with children mods (RS children) that caused an eye glitch but only when you load a game in a cell with children, this one is a bit different.

It seems the problem often shows up when my char equips an armor while she has an expression on her face, other times it only momentarily interrupts blinking which isn't a problem. This must be either a script or a SKSE DLL file (or both) that interferes with the equipping action and it wouldn't matter moving them up or down in the load order, they'd still work the same way until they are completely disabled. Currently the #1 suspect is Papyrus Extender which is required by another mod I use. It's a SKSE plugin (DLL) as well as a script file and it does have a fair amount of functions that deal with face and head, although I'm not sure if they'd run without being called, but they might. For the moment I cannot think of anything else that may interfere with the head or the eyes or the facial expression. Anyways, I'll let you know if I can find the culprit.

Don't know if anyone else has experienced this before but I have a really strange problem right now. Whenever my character equips a body armor or clothes (vanilla armor/clothes) she kind of gets bug eyes, kind of like her eyeballs get bigger or something. Her facial expression also changes momentarily. You can even see the change in her eyes right at the moment when you equip the armor (in the inventory screen). I have two different Skyrim setups with different set of mods but both seem to have this issue, but in one of them it's a bit more apparent. I'm not sure if this is a mod issue or not, it probably is. I wonder if someone can verify that in their own game, see if it also happens in their game or not.

Is there a way to post blog entries or gallery images WITHOUT appearing on the latest "Blog Entries" and "Images" lists (i.e. the columns on the RHS of the main page)? Just wanna mind my own business without stealing the limelight from other posters.

Reminds me of my departing signature that they deleted... "Welcome to Lover's Lab, a porn site as well as a kindergarten."

Looks like those threads have been deleted. What were they about?

What's this new "rank" that we're all are a newbie of? Wasn't there already a rank of some sort shown with some green number on top of the post count, what happened to it?

Relying on 3rd party applications for security is never a good idea. You should instead try to minimize the number of potential security holes and flaws in your system by minimizing the usage of 3rd party applications such as browser add-ons or anti-virus/malware software, each of which is a potential cause of a security/privacy issue. As for browser security in general, I'd first recommend using portable versions of whatever the browser you are using, which don't install anything on the system and simply runs from the directory you placed them into. If something goes wrong with the one you are currently using, you can easily extract a fresh copy of it and do a folder comparison (using WinMerge etc.) with the clean one to find out what files have changed. It would be a lot more difficult to do it with a browser you "installed" on your system as you won't be able to figure out what had changed in your system during the installation (such as registry entries). Before you install any add-ons, first, make sure your browser is configured as securely as possible. You should decide on Network/DNS (e.g. make sure you use DNSSEC, secure DNS, encrypted SNI, TLS 1.3 etc), cookie, session, anti tracking/fingerprinting, update settings etc. behaviors that suit your needs. Some of these may require advanced configuration (e.g. about:config page on FF). I'd generally recommend turning off auto-updates for EVERYTHING except perhaps one adblocker. Adblocker updates, even filter list updates, are known to break things occasionally. It's often a trade-off between convenience and security and/or privacy, so it's basically up to the individual to decide how to configure things. If you don't want to deal with these kinds of potential headaches, always remember, less is more, so try to turn off features that you'll never use. Also keep a log of all the changes you've made in your system (e.g. OS, browser) with the date of the changes as well as a short explanation of why you made them.

Windows Defender is a super useless service which slows down the system, consumes resources, wears out your drives for no good reason and it does a really poor job protecting your system. Turn it off if you can and while you're at it, turn off Windows Update as well.

I personally want my PC to remain the same and keep its current state and functionality, if I leave it on for a month or for a year. If the OS decides to update or modify something on its own and break something in the process, I don't want the headache of troubleshooting it. Operating systems should always be treated as "mission critical" software, should never be turned into a casual test ground for the sloppy work of incompetent programmers, by pushing forced, untested patches and updates like Microsoft does with Windows.

It wasn't in reply to your post, sorry if it sounded like that. Some people seem to have the mindset of "newer therefore better (or more secure)" which irritates me.

Windows 10 is a malware itself. Not to mention that considering how they broke something with every untested patch since its release it's hard to say it's a more robust operating system either and Windows 11 isn't gonna be any different. Also, windows with rounded corners? I guess retarded millennials took over the UI design at M$. I'm using Win 8 pro with classic shell and it's okay for browsing the web and playing games. I've either removed or turned off most unnecessary features of it and it's become pretty lightweight, in fact it's currently running with less processes (about 25 in total) than my Win 7. Still has some annoyances such as the "store" which you can turn off but cannot be removed entirely. As long as you know what you're doing you can even use Win 2000 or XP assuming you can find all the drivers and programs you need. In terms of functionality, even Win 95/98 would be enough for most people. I would only use Win10, if the new laptop I bought came with it or if I had to buy a new PC or hardware to play a new PC game on Windows -which is super unlikely- and it didn't have drivers for Win 7/8.

"Don't Ask Questions, Just Consume Product and Then Get Excited for Next Products!" They Live!

It's really baffling how easily people have forgotten all the crap Bethesda has pulled in the past couple of years, I mean, besides their usual. Paid mods controversy, the money grab "special" edition with the same exact bugs of "legendary", Creation Club and Atomic Shop controversies (P2W microtransactions, inflated prices, ripoffs, fake discounts), the great canvas shortage of 2018, those plastic rum bottles, to name a few. Yet, Howard and Hines still have the audacity to show their faces in a public event to promote yet another crappy product of theirs, which will most likely create a similar amount of controversies if not more. But who is to blame here? Them or their audience?

"Another star system needs your help!" Besides being buggy and outdated as any other Bugthesda game, I don't know what exactly people are expecting this game to be. It's going to be another one of those save this and that, find this and that kinda game with a lot of retarded quests and you'll have your typical quest giver NPCs telling you that you are the only hope, the only one who can do whatever it is to do while sitting on their asses, munching on the same loaf of bread, "What are you doing here? Go save the galaxy!"... and you're gonna have to pretend you're doing something important in a completely static, lifeless Bethesda game world, just like you did in Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3/4. It's nothing but a waste of time and you most likely won't have the "porn" to justify any of that.
