  • Simple and effective: makes those stones pop so you can spot them from a distance.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2013—might have issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter those stones.
  • It's a niche cosmetic tweak—if you don't care about glowing stones, this won't change your game much.
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an old mod, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition—this was made for the original, so you might need to port it or find a compatible version.
  • If you use other mods that change Runestones or Ayleid Wells, load Glowing Stones after them so its effects take priority.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drop-in, but a manager makes it easy to uninstall if you don't like it.
