To sum it up, i think it looks terrible having a character that looks just like a dwemer centurion AND even worst than that my sneaking skills can no longer be used because i am very easily detected thanks to the bug (i have a high sneaking skill of 80 i was hard to detect and now it's practically useless) probably because of the steam and sparks flying around my character.
I have tried sleeping,waiting for a week, turning off the console, jail , changing armor and weapons, turning into a werewolf, deleting game data and re-installing the 1.5 patch, using flame cloaks, fast traveling....i am out of ideas.
Someone help!! I can't reload an earlier game because the other save file i have is nearly two weeks old....using that one would mean losing days worth of looting and skill leveling.
