PROBLEM: Candles have disappeared, flames remain, cannot see

People - I need your help here... :huh:

Somewhere along the way, I have somehow managed to make Skyrim's candles INVISIBLE.

Not the flames - not the holders, horns, or lanterns. These still remain. The actual wax CANDLE itself though is missing.

This problem affects every candle in the game.

(**I can't post a picture of the effect I'm describing here, apparently - perhaps this will change in time, sorry**) :confused:


Uninstalling/reinstalling - including a full manual trashing of everything related to the game except for screens & saves - does not seem to fix the problem. This is true even when those saves are NOT reapplied and a new pure-vanilla game is started. Somehow this vanishing candle problem has become embedded in something and I cannot work out how to fix it.

I tried re-applying vanilla candle meshes & textures. I tried clutter mods. I tried the "enable xxxxxxx" console command with a few candle-ish item codes, found [same problem as earlierwith image above - no links for now, sorry]. However, these codes only seemed to spawn new candle-holders with little dancing flames but NO actual candle. I do not know. Perhaps I am using the wrong code - if so, I need to know the RIGHT one, which so far I am sadly unable to discover.

This is not a game-breaking "bug", as such. It does not materially affect gameplay. It's more-or-less aesthetic. But it's something I'd REALLY like to fix and the fact that I have been unable to work out HOW is really bugging me! :sad:

Your help would be very greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!! :sweat:
