- Simple, focused concept: moths around lanterns at night. No bloat, just atmosphere.
- Recently updated (Feb 2025), so likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche—only affects lanterns at night, so impact is minimal if you don't spend time in those areas.

- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author, so you're on your own.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game has a mod manager (like Vortex or MO2) and install through that for easy uninstall.
- If you're on a version that uses EAC (like some Bethesda titles), make sure to disable it or use the mod's compatibility patch if available.
- Since it's a simple mod, test it at night near a lantern to see the effect—if it doesn't show, check load order.
