I've recently started a new character, and about 4 hours in I've developed an issue with torches.

Every time I take out, or put away, a torch, my character stops what he is doing, I can not move unless I either take out my fists and then lower them, or jump. I went into 3rd person view and found out that every time I unequip a torch, my character actually bends down as if he is putting it on the ground. I had no mods that affected torches (that I know of) when the bug first happened. I have also disabled all mods and it still occurs.

Normally this wouldn't bug me, but I have a mod that makes dungeons and nighttime really really dark, so torches are pretty important to my gameplay.

I have googled and done a forum search for this, but didn't find any instance of it where the issue was resolved. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
