Floating embers in Whiterun.

[BertMv]

Outside of Uthgerd's house there is a brazier, but the embers/flames float on the opposite side of the road. Did I miss a step somewhere that causes this?

You can see a screenshot here: https://pasteboard.co/B1GLxN4KdpG4.png

ADDED: Looking at screenshots from a vanilla game, I see that the embers/flames are in the vanilla spot. This means that the brazier must have been moved by a mod?

Use MIC to identify the source plugins for the embers and the brazier.

I removed the Embers and Fires Clipping Fixes which solved the problem (it was indicated by MIC). However, I think one of the other mods (perhaps Major Cities Mesh Overhaul?) changes the position of the braziers and the ember-fixes doesn't account for that. Maybe someone else in the area of Whiterun (using latest STEP) could confirm? There are multiple braziers with this problem in that city.

You must be using a mod that isn't in the Step guide ...or you possibly installed something with the wrong options. I'm in WR all the time and haven't seen any floating embers. There was one introduced by these mods with Relighting Skyrim, but the Step Patch resolves.

I had the exact same problem in Whiterun. I also ran into this in the Helgen tunnel. Turning off Fires and Embers Clipping Fix corrected the problem but so does installing the Enhanced Lights and FX Patch on the Embers and Fires mod page.

Same problem for me as well and turning off Fires and Embers Clipping Fix seems to have fixed the issue for me as well.

Instead of disabling FaECL, try installing the Enhanced Lights and FX Patch from that mod. Let us know if it resolves you issues.
