📋 About This Mod
Welcome to the No more looping VFX and SFX on buffs mod collection
The main goal of this mod collection is to disable all the constant looping VFX and SFX on BUFFS. However, no stone is left unturned in the righteous quest in order to hunt down all looping VFX and SFX offenders and bring them to justice! In our latest glorious battle all the looping VFX and SFX POTIONS and ELIXIRS monsters had a humiliating defeat! But we must all remain vigilant! If you suspect anyone to harbor a looping VFX or SFX fugitive please report them all in the "POSTS" section and justice will be served!
I am not still that keen on removing the VFX from the weapon buffs because I use the Invisible Weapons mod. I highly recommend anyone to download and install that mod. This way you will only see the weapon VFX in combat.
Side-note: - Please take a look on my latest mod "The Final Countdown".
Sorry about the spam of updates everyone. I had to fix some old reported bugs, and issues kept popping up all the time. Now everything should be stable for a while on the update front.
There is also a tiny bug/feature reported by Batrenga that I also plan to fix on a later update:
With this mod installed, Mage Armor does not end when character dons armor. (Not a significant bug unless you're exploiting Armour of Shadows
with Abjuration Wizard)
