📋 About This Mod
This is a mod to make embers look better, it's something I made along with the textures fix for the chopping blocks/wood fires but never released.
Based on vanilla textures and some files from the mod Better Smoke and Embers: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/836

💡 Beginner Tips

- Test in a fire-lit area like a tavern to see the difference immediately.
