Fallout 4 Pink Fog Effect on all NPCs
This is a picture of what is happening. I've tried swapping all of my clothes and weapons in case some of them had an odd effect. I haven't installed any mod that should do this (I have a generator quieting one, a body hair one, the full sentence dialogue, some texture replacements, and pip boy shadows).
Sometimes it vanishes while in dialogue but most of the time it's just like this on everyone it's driving me mad and ruining my screenshots. Can anyone help me out with this?

I had the same problem the other day and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
As Nightmare mentioned, this is the effect of the Berry Mentats. Even after learning this I was still a bit confused and thought it must be a bug as I haven't been using them, yet the effect kept starting whenever I got into a fight and it would last for a while.
Turns out that I gave some to Piper earlier with some other items I was trading with her and she was using them automatically when we got into combat. I took them away from her and sure enough it stopped. So, you may want to check your companion's inventory if it keeps happening. I didn't realize that companions would use them, less that the effect that the berry mentats would also affect me, but apparently they do.
