📋 About This Mod

A remake of my BFU facelight mod, allowing facelight on player, followers, and NPCs, with configurable color, brightness, ect. Community Shaders recommended for light limit fix but not necessary.

Compatible with 1. 7+ Skyrim

This is a remaster of my old Better Facelight Unleashed mod, to work with Community Shaders. Technically it works without Community Shaders but due to using vanilla lights, it will run into light limit issues without the light limit fix from them.

This mod will create face lighting for the player, followers, and general NPCs, just like my old mod, except now there's no need to use meshes with enb lights since it's no longer for ENBs, and thus doesn't require other face light mods to function. 

Plenty of customizations to choose from in the SKSE Menu including light color, brightness, z and y axis offsets, and light fade, with separate profiles for the player, followers, generic NPCs, and dialogue state. 

If you use ENBs, you should still use my old Better Facelight Unleashed mod as it works based on a ENB Light facelight mod, and thus bypasses light limit issues for ENB.

AI Disclosure Statement: Though this mod was made with AI, it doesn't have bearing on my determination for a fully functional, as bug free as possible, as performant and stable as possible mod that has as little impact on save files as possible. This is because I use ALL my own mods and I like having long stable Skyrim playthroughs. I only make mods that I understand, so that I can actually debug them or add features.
