📋 About This Mod
Description
SimonMagus616 has done a marvellous job in overhauling Skyrim's races in a V+ way. However, with V+ some things stay vanilla... Having to recast night vision every 60 seconds because the power runs out is tedious.
Cue, this mod. Cast night vision when you need it, cast it again when you don't. Simple as.
Installation
You can install this on an existing save, load the mod directly after Aetherius.FAQ
ESLified? (ESPFE)
Did you just change the duration to 99999 or whatever?
No, functionality is changed so that the power will stay active indefinitely, or until you turn it off. You can play your whole playthrough with night vision on if you wish.
Can you also do Scion, Manbeast, ...?
Yes:
Scion - A Vampire Overhaul - Toggleable
Manbeast - A Werewolf Overhaul - Toggleable

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tidy QoL fix—no more spamming the power every few seconds.
- Solid community trust (175 endorsements, 75k downloads).
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Khajiit—if you play other races, this does nothing for you.
- Requires Aetherius to be installed, so it's useless without that overhaul.
- Last updated in 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game patches or Aetherius updates.
For Skyrim players who use the Aetherius race overhaul and play as Khajiit, tired of re-toggling night vision. Skip if you don't use Aetherius or don't play Khajiit—this mod won't affect your game.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Aetherius is installed and loaded before this mod in your load order.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test the toggle in a dark cave to confirm it works as expected.
