📋 About This Mod

I grew tired of the horrible enchantment glow that seemed to persist after I equipped an enchanted piece of armour/equipment. So I decided to make a little mod to remove it. This mod simply removes the glow that occurs when you equip a piece of enchanted armour. (The initial glow is still there, but the horrible glow/aura that stays afterwards has been removed). This allows your characters to be buffed with nice enchanted armour but not walk around glowing like a streetlamp. This mod does not remove the persistant glow from weapon effects (i.e. Shock Damage) nor does it remove the debuff effects. I\'ve just designed it so passively you look normal, even though you have Shock Shield, Fortify Endurance, Fortify Wisdom, etc.. active. This also applies to self-improving buffs that you cast on yourself. If you cast shield on yourself, the initial glow of purple will appear then fade, leaving your character looking normal without the horrible glow that stays with you afterwards. There is no zip nor readme, just the pure ESP. I don\'t really care if someone takes credit for this mod, would just rather it got out there for the people who need it, so take this mod, put it on whatever hosting you can and share it! That\'s the spirit! Just plonk the ESP file into your Data directory and when loading Oblivion, click Data Files and then click \"noenchantmentglow.esp\"
