Description
This mod adds a soft face light to your character. It can help enhance the appearance of you character under poor lighting conditions or in dark areas. For screen-archers, it can also help reduce the hassle of trying to get the perfect angle and lighting conditions. The light is a warm Orange-Yellow color and is not too bright, I don't plan on making any further adjustments to it as I am content with it (though if enough people as for it and I stop being a lazy bum, I may add more temperatures :)
Installation
Download either the ESP or ESL version of the mod, install and play!
Updating
Completely uninstall the old version before installing the new version. Make a "clean save" by loading the game without the plugin installed, then save and exit. Then, install the new versionConflicts/ Issues
Shouldn't conflict with anything. The Face Light always refreshes each time you load a save, so it will disappear for a short while after you load and come back. Also, the light isn't too bright, so it may not show that much in well lit areas.
