📋 About This Mod
This mod adds glow maps to all three Atronachs in Morrowind, so that they glow in the dark.
The glow maps are carefully made so that only proper parts glow, not the "clothing" of the Frost and Fire Atronach. The Storm Atronach's glow shines through the cracks in the stone.
The base textures stay vanilla and will be replaced if you have a texture mod for any of the Atronachs installed. Only exception is the face of the Storm Atronach wich I edited to get rid of the original eyes shining through the glow.
This is a plugin-less replacer and is compatible with pretty much everything.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,564 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads.

- Lightweight mod that doesn't mess with gameplay or balance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may have compatibility issues with modern Morrowind mod setups.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture mod, make sure to place the files in your Morrowind Data Files folder and enable the .esp in the Morrowind Launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Check if you have any other mods that alter Atronach textures — this mod may conflict, so load order matters.
