📋 About This Mod
I thought it was strange that your Flame Atronachs can't give you warmth in Survival mode.. They are MADE of flame after all.
Simple edit to the warmth object list, adding all the Flame Atronach versions, and the spells, Flames and Wall of Flames.
(Flame Cloak is beyond my ability, as it requires Creation Kit scripting.)
Should be compatible with all versions of Steam AE Skyrim (ver 1. 6.xxx) Old Gen/Next Gen
A optional file is available for the GoG AE Skyrim version.
Should work with all mesh replacers etc, as long as the base NPC name/ID # is unchanged.
(Here is a confirmed working example... https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/82382 )
This mod was made with SSEEdit, and is clean.
ESP flagged ESL, to save your mod slots.
This small patch adds Flame Atronachs, Flames, and Wall of Flames to Skyrim's warmth object list, so they provide warmth in Survival mode. It's a simple, clean edit made with SSEEdit, flagged ESL to save mod slots, and compatible with all Steam AE versions plus a GoG option. Ideal for Survival players who want logical immersion.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 133 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Fills a logical gap in Survival mode—flame atronachs should be warm.
- Clean SSEEdit edit, ESL-flagged, so it won't clutter your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Flame Cloak isn't included due to scripting limitations, so you can't get warmth from that spell.
- Only affects Survival mode—if you don't play Survival, this mod does nothing for you.
- Compatibility depends on base NPC IDs; mods that change atronach IDs could break it.
For Skyrim Survival mode players who want a bit more immersion and logic—your fire minions should keep you warm. Also for modders who appreciate clean, lightweight patches. Skip if you don't play Survival or expect major gameplay changes; this is a tiny quality-of-life tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on GoG AE, grab the optional file from the Files tab—the main file is for Steam.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install, and make sure it's active in your load order.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, it won't count against your mod slot limit, but keep it near the bottom of your load order to avoid conflicts.
