📋 About This Mod
This mod simply stops Oblivion Gates from causing a change in the sky while in Tamriel unless the player is directly adjacent to the gate.
This small utility mod stops the Oblivion sky from appearing in Tamriel when you move past an Oblivion Gate. It's a simple fix for a visual annoyance, with 26 endorsements and last updated in 2011. For players bothered by the skybox glitch, this is a straightforward solution.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a real visual bug that breaks immersion when you're near a gate.
- Tiny mod, no performance hit, and doesn't touch other game systems.
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, no extra features.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses the sky issue; doesn't fix other gate-related visual glitches.
- Old mod (2011) might not be compatible with newer mod setups or patches.
- Limited endorsements (26) suggest it's niche and not widely tested.
This is for players who hate seeing the red Oblivion sky bleed into Cyrodiil when they're near a gate. If you're a purist who wants a clean Tamriel skybox, this is a quick fix. Not for you if you don't mind the vanilla effect or use overhaul mods that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the .esp file in your Oblivion/Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that for easy removal.
- Test near an Oblivion Gate to confirm the sky is fixed—if not, check load order.
