📋 About This Mod

I originally wanted to improve the default normal maps for eyes and enable glow maps, but I quickly realised I wasn\'t ready to experiment with the new shader system. So I changed the default emission colour instead, applying a fake glow effect to Khajiit eyes. They don\'t actually glow but it looks nice anyway. :P Replaces male and female Khajiit eyeball mesh. Put in your \\Data\\meshes\\actors\\character\\character assets directory. To remove, simply delete the files. Credits: NifSkope. I love NifSkope.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod is from 2011, check if your Skyrim version is legendary or special edition—it may need manual compatibility patches.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily toggle this mod on and off if it conflicts with other eye mods.
  • Test the glow effect in a dark area (like a cave) to see if it's too subtle or too bright for your taste.
