Some words
It's my first mod on Nexus and I have to dig into a lot of files to cherry-pick game objects. So please be patient. :)
I'm quite limited for request, some issues are Larian's one and something like SearchTheRoom is relying on script, something I have no knowledge in right now.
If you want to contact me I'm on discord : hash0000
(Don't spam me, please :D)
Huge thanks to ShinyHobo, without his wonderful tool this mod couldn't exist.
What this mod do
:
- 19 modules, letting you customize your highlight with what you want
(Hatches and doors not yet available)
- All in one Edition
(Merge of all modules excepted the Wanderer, Collector, Secret, Trap, and SearchForBlood a special request)
- Loose planks, breakable walls and a lot more highlights (Secret Edition)
- Coffin/Sarcophagus highlight (Coffin Edition)
- Wall climb highlight (Wanderer Edition)
- Rows of books and library highlight (Library Edition)
- Furniture containers highlight (Furniture Edition)
- Highlight valuable wines (Alcohol Edition)
- Highlight valuable items like paintings and seashells (Collector Edition)
(for now all paintings, need more insights on valuable ones)
- Change the color of lever, button, specific action (English and French localization)
- Highlight containers missing in the vanilla tooltip (crates, barrels, burlap sack, vase, etc...)
(Depending on the chosen Edition, vases, crates, barrels, burlap sack are in separate Editions)
- Less performance heavy than other highlight mods
(Only the necessary files are modified, the majority of the highlight mods apply 3 or 4 times the same parameter to one object, this one applies it only to the parent files which then apply the parameter to the children. Example : Vases is only one file in this mod, reducing the load on your alt input)
What this mod doesn't do :
- Highlight everything
What is planned :
- Add a Foodie module (removing useless

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,457 endorsements and 60k+ downloads — clearly a go-to for many players.
- Modular approach means you can tailor highlights exactly how you want, no more forced clutter.
- Performance-safe is a big plus — no stutter or FPS drops while exploring.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
- Requires some setup to configure which highlights you want — not plug-and-play for everyone.
For players who want to declutter their game world and focus on important objects without missing loot. Also great for those who dislike the default highlight system and want more control. Skip if you prefer vanilla visuals or don't mind seeing every container.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Start with the default settings and tweak the modular options to see what works for you.
- Use the highlight toggle to quickly compare highlighted vs. non-highlighted views.
- If you're on a mod manager, let it handle the install to avoid manual file placement errors.
