📋 About This Mod
I've been bothered since release by the smoke coming out of the smokestacks of various locations throughout the Commonwealth. This mod simply removes the smoke/steam from inactive factory chimneys. This does NOT remove all smoke effects. Only the ones that, in my mind, didn't fit. If a plant is operational, then so are its chimneys.
No Industrial Smoke removes smoke from non-operational smokestacks in Fallout 4, improving visual clarity and performance. A simple, lightweight environmental tweak with 336 endorsements and 82,837 downloads, last updated in 2016.

💡 Beginner Tips

- If you're on PC, you can manually drop the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager is safer for easy removal.
