📋 About This Mod
A very simple mod for my fellow Astarion simps who can't resist offering Astarion blood every night. This removes the red glow from the "Bloodless" status effect. It's a cool effect at first, but I got sick of constantly seeing that ugly red glow on my character.
To be clear, this is a visual change only, meaning the player character will still get the -1 to attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws.

I figured out how to accomplish this change by looking at Elf Slayer's Remove Bless VFX mod

⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one status effect—if you wanted more visual tweaks, this won't cover them.

- If you're using a mod manager, preview the file structure to ensure it matches your game's directory.
- Test the mod in a low-stakes area to see the effect before committing to a full playthrough.
