📋 About This Mod
ELFX adds a lot of little subtle tweaks that enhance the vanilla worlds. One of these is that the giant mushrooms found throughout Blackreach and the Darkfall Passage in Dawnguard are swapped out to add additional colors.
I wanted to be able to enjoy these additional colors after finding fadingsignal's high poly patch for ELFX, without using ELFX since there are so many lighting mod options out there these days.
A bit of time in the CK and xEdit and learning how to write Base Object Swapper files and here we are. A standalone implementation of the mushrooms, in cleaned and packaged format.
This mod adds the varied color giant mushrooms from ELFX as a standalone package, using BOS for patchless integration. It's a simple cosmetic addition for Skyrim players who want more colorful flora without needing the full ELFX mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No patch hassle—BOS handles it automatically.
- Standalone, so you don't need ELFX just for the mushrooms.
- Decent download count (15,946) shows interest.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 59 endorsements—small but dedicated following.
- Requires BOS, so you need that dependency installed.
- Cosmetic only—no gameplay changes, so if you want more than looks, skip.
For Skyrim players who want to spice up the landscape with colorful giant mushrooms without committing to a full lighting overhaul. If you're already using BOS and like visual variety, this is a quick win. Skip if you're not into flora tweaks or don't want another dependency.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled—this mod won't work without it.
- Load order shouldn't matter much since BOS swaps objects at runtime, but keep it active in your mod manager.
- If you're using other mods that edit giant mushrooms, test for conflicts—BOS should handle it, but a quick in-game check helps.
