📋 About This Mod
Description:
Have you ever noticed that there are very few visual differences between filled and empty soul gems? This small mods fixes that. Now, filled filled soul gems pulse with the un-life within them, making them more visible in the world and more aesthetically pleasing.

Installation:
-
[]If you are not using the ENB Light version, simply install and activate with your mod manager. There are no additional requirements.
[
]If you are on a version earlier than 1. 6. 1130 (meaning you downgraded), you need BEES.[]If you want to use the additional ENB Light effects, you will need either ENB, or (recommended) Light Limit Fix. I have included a config that makes the texture use culling, so it looks significantly better.
Compatibility:
-
[]Load after mods that change the default sounds of Soul Gems. This means AOS/ISC. If you are using Sound Record Distributor (you should!), this conflict doesn't matter.
[]Mods that add their own soul gems will not be animated. However, patches are provided for Genuinely Intelligent Soul Trap and Yet Another Soul Trap Manager. Load these patches AFTER all other mods that patch GIST/YASTM.
