📋 About This Mod
This is a small modification of Frugal\'s excellent Drop Lit Torches. I simply added weight (1 pound) and made the torches a bit brighter. This was requested by Delte, who runs a thread of immersive mods at the official elderscrolls modforums. As a user of darker dungeons he needed brighter torches with weight and keep the \"drop in combat\" function. Use the hotkey torch to equip a torch. All credits go Frugal for creating the original version which can be found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3429 I don\'t check the Tesnexus forums very often, so you can contact me at the Bethsoft Oblivion modforums: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showuser=300577
A small tweak to Frugal's Drop Lit Torches mod, adding 1 pound weight and increasing brightness. For Oblivion players who want more immersive torch mechanics. With 153 endorsements and 6,219 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated enhancement.
