You may be asking yourself why? Well, because I could and got no help by asking. There once was a mod for Fallout 3 that did this so I went and did the same for my game because I missed it. Then it started snowballing with a few extra features, and now I guess we are gonna keep going with it.
As you elevate through the different levels of Rad poisoning, you'll get an increasing glow effect. This effect also illuminates the surrounding, but not as much as a Glowing one (you aren't one after all and fully clothed... I hope)
Be careful though you aren't the only one able to see Atom's Glory. The more you glow the lower your Sneak skill
This works well with Dynamic Ghoulification as far as I know.
Also, should work with the Ghoulified mod... I use both : )
Pretty straightforward you can either download with manager or just drag and drop the GlowwhenIrradiated.esp into the data folder. Activates the .esp
I personally place it above all my weather mods, but below my patches, which should be at the bottom of your load order. This mod adds effects to Radiation disease scripts already in the vanilla game.
It doesn't interfere with the hardcore radiation mods I have this way because it's not altering any rates or resistances. They however may alter it in reverse
Update December 29th 2024:
Added sneak reduction based on glow intensity (actually radiation level but the illusion works)
Optimized for fullest compatibility and reduced requirements for all versions consolidating them into one file
This Fallout 4 mod makes your character glow when irradiated, with intensity scaling with radiation dose. It fills a gap left by older mods, offering a simple visual feedback for radiation exposure. Ideal for players wanting clearer status cues.
