📋 About This Mod
Over 1000 Endorsements!
Even for something as simple as this, knowing I've helped improve your game experience, even just a little, makes any time spent on the project well worth it. I know 1000 is a small number compared to many other mods on the Nexus, but my mods never get many endorsements. My only other mod to come close, is my New Vegas water mod, lol. Anyway, thank you!
What it Does
Fixes the potential Lava Imagespace bug that destroys your vision for an infinite time at the Atherium Forge
Basically, even using my Ethereal Form shout to explore the lava at the Atherium Forge, I was plagued by a bug. All seemed well, I got out alive, exited the area and went to travel to my next destination, then BAM! My screen washed out with a red haze, as if I'm swimming in lava. It will -not- go away. I check magic effects and I have an effect from Lava Imagespace with a duration of "+1 24000 Hours".
My only options were reload from before the swim and just not do it.. or fix the bug! I chose the latter.
If you're suffering from the same bug as I, hopefully this will help. It removes the visual effect and changed the duration to a simple 1 second.
Installation
Put this ESP file in your Skyrim/Data folder and activate it
Uninstallation
Delete the ESP.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,382 endorsements and 27,275 downloads.
- Fixes an annoying visual bug that persists for in-game hours.
- Simple and focused—does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses the Aetherium Forge lava effect—no other imagespace fixes.
- Last updated in 2012, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
For Skyrim players who've touched lava in the Aetherium Forge and hated the lingering orange tint. If you're a completionist who wants a clean visual experience, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about that specific visual quirk or play on a version where it's already fixed.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if this mod works with the Creation Club version or look for a port.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this small fix.
- Load order doesn't matter much for a bug fix like this, but keep it active to ensure the effect is removed.
