📋 About This Mod
Drop Light
MWSE-Lua mod
This mod causes certain lights to be dropped when the player equips a two handed weapon or a shield while holding a light in combat. Only lights that are on by default will be dropped.
Requirements & Installation:
This mod uses the pre-release 2. 1-branch of MWSE, currently in development. By using this mod, you're basically asking to be a tester! If you encounter any issues please post a report, ideally on the MWSE bug tracker. You can download the latest nightly build from the link below.
This mod requires Morrowind Graphic Extender (MGE-XE) version 0. 10. 1. Older versions will not work with MWSE 2. 0+! Additionally, it will require the latest nightly build of MWSE 2. 1.
To install the mod, extract the archive into your Data Files folder. There is no ESP to activate.
- When you equip an item that uses your off-hand slot, and are in combat, and have an on-by-default light, the light will be dropped at the player's feet.
Drop Light is a small gameplay mod that automatically drops your held light source when you equip a two-handed weapon or shield, freeing up your off-hand. With 116 endorsements and last updated in 2019, it's a niche utility for players who want a more realistic approach to combat and lighting.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective QoL feature for melee builds that use torches or lanterns.
- Small but dedicated following (116 endorsements) suggests it works as intended.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't clutter your load order with extra scripts.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects two-handed weapons and shields; doesn't cover other scenarios like using magic or one-handed without shield.
For players who frequently switch between light sources and two-handed weapons or shields and want a hands-free solution. Skip if you prefer manual control or use mods that already manage lighting.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2019, test it with your current game version to ensure it still works.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily.
- Pair with a mod that improves light sources to get the most out of the auto-drop feature.
