📋 About This Mod
Yeah, I know: there's already the old Fireflies Invade Morrowind, and the more modern Glowbugs.
However, the first one eats your FPS like crazy as it treats fireflies as individual creatures, whereas the latter is incompatible with OpenMW.
This mod uses glowbugs activators from TR_Data, distributing them throughout both the Bitter Coast and the Ascadian Isles. By utilizing models from TR_Data, it ensures consistency with Tamriel Rebuilt.
The fireflies only appear at night and the effect is quite subtle (as it should be).
Hope you enjoy the mod, cheers!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 764 endorsements and over 116k downloads
- Tightly scoped—does exactly what it says without bloat

For Morrowind players who want a touch of ambient life in the Bitter Coast and Ascadian Isles without overhauling the game. If you're a completionist exploring those areas, this adds a nice atmospheric touch. Skip if you want fireflies everywhere or if you prefer larger immersion overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no extra steps needed.
- Since it's a simple addition, load order rarely matters, but place it after any major landscape mods to be safe.
- Check the mod's comments for any reported conflicts with popular overhauls like Morrowind Rebirth.
