📋 About This Mod
Mystical Illumination - Glowing Signs
First and foremost i would like to thank MaidenUSA for the name "Mystical Illumination". I foolishly and originally named the mod "Neon Skyrim" and people were quick to tell me it sucked. But i listened and changed the name, so don't hate the mod anymore! Thanks again to MaidenUSA for the cool new name and thanks to all who give the mod a try!
Secondly, i would like to extend a HUGE thank you to NerevarineKhajiit for making the MIGS - Mystical Installer! He took the time and put in the effort to help all of you make your installation experience much easier. So again, thank you, NerevarineKhajiit. I suggest all of you who make good use of the installer to go give him so Kudos.
Main Description:
This mod adds mystically illuminated glowing signs and roadsigns to Skyrim. Perfect for those that use darker nights mods or for those who just want to brighten things up a little. It also features glowing signs for all Inns, General Goods, Alchemy Shops, Meaderies, etc. Basically any shop that has a hanging sign glows now. This mod should also be considered "non lore-friendly" unless you make believe there is "Magicka Paint" like i do... Yup, i said it- Magicka Paint.
I first started this mod in late January and the idea originally came about during my first playthrough when i didn't discover the Riverwood Trader until i was about 20 hours into the game, i also later found the alchemy shop in Markarth at about the 200 hours mark when i was wrapping up the game and had been to Markarth 100 times before... ugh. Then there was the issue of the road signs, sure there are high-res super nice looking ones out there but there was still one problem. I couldn't read them when i was trotting by unless i was right on top of the sign. Mix in some darker night mods and you have a recipe for not being able to see much of anything. Need
