✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Handy QoL feature for spelunkers and night travelers—no more fumbling through inventory to grab a torch.
- Auto-reequip is a thoughtful touch that keeps combat flow smooth.
- MCM support means you can bind it to whatever key feels natural.
⚠️ Cons

- No mention of compatibility with other hotkey mods or UI overhauls—could conflict.
For Morrowind players who frequently switch between weapon and light sources and want a smoother experience. Also for those who use Midnight Oil and want integrated light management. Skip if you prefer minimal mods or don't use MWSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MWSE installed and up to date—this mod relies on it for MCM and scripting.
- After installing, open the MCM menu in-game to set your preferred hotkey; default might not suit your playstyle.
- If you use Midnight Oil, test the compatibility early to ensure the light source behavior works as expected.
