So this bug has surfaced both in my previous game under Skyrim 1.3 and on a brand new game started under Skyrim 1.4

I have been trying hard to trace out the reason this bug surfaces and have not been able to trace it back to any single mod. I am at a point where I would even offer a reward for finding the reason this bloody glitch happens hah

Alright, so what happens is that, in first-person view, my hands disappear (but I can still see the spell/weapon equipped). At that point I know that the bug has surfaced and the game is glitched. If I ride a horse after the invisible-hands bug, my horse tends to slide all over the surface instead of riding.

Here is what I have done to fix this issue:

-Uninstalled all the mods and reloaded my save.
-did the pcb command inside the Breezeside home and rested for 30 days to clear and reset cells.
-saved, quit game.
-reload the "clean" save

The bug still remains.

I then did the following:

-uninstalled skyrim, deleted all folders related to it, and the the SkyPrefs and Skyrim.ini files
-reinstalled Skyrim, loaded the game on a newly generated SkyPrefs and Skyrim.ini and the bug surfaces again.
-since this is a fresh install, and at this point I had not re-installed any of my previous mods, I did the pcb thing again and waited another 30 days in the Breezeside home.
-saved the game and quit.
-restarted skyrim and reloaded the "clean" save after 30 day rest and...

... the nasty invisible hands/ flying horses bug resurfaces again.

Why does this happen? I am at my wits' end at this point and just want to give up on Skyrim.

I'm on xbox and I've had some similar problems. Although all I had to do was hold x to unequip my hands and then brough them back out to fix it. Never though of riding a horse...

although when my hands would disapear I could use magic and I wouldn't hear anything but I could use sparks for unlimited amount of time and kill whatever with no magika loss.

Idk if this is similar to what you have, but my hands do dispear every so often.

Thanks for your response, I can't be the only one having this sort of a glitch.

This happened on a brand new game also, so I am thinking it is some mod... but I am using all the most popular mods and this sort of a glitch has not been reported anywhere else.

My problem sounds similar to yours, however unequipping and re-equipping does nothing for me.

I just started having this problem.

After the newest patch I had tons of CTDs, so I removed ALL mods and made a clean save....then reinstalled mods. Suddenly, after having solved the CTDs, I have this new bug. Hands missing in first person view. Horses slide (more like fly) around and die.

As usual, playing Skyrim is more like work and less like fun. Yet I plug on. 2 days of problem solving for every week of play.

I've had both problems on Oblivion but not on Skyrim and I just reloaded the previous auto save and every thing was fixed for me.

Do you use modded weapons? It might have something to do with a modded weapon that you use and it's causing your hand to disapear, but that's just a wild guess.

Also you might want to go to the Tech issues forum to get a better solution.

I've had the same on PS3. Had a moonwalking "Forsworn" which I actually found quite amusing. Seems to be an intermittent problem, it certainly doesn't happen constantly and whilst it is irritating when it does happen it is far from being game breaking.
