📋 About This Mod
Just a product of me trying to learn more about meshes and Nifskope, mostly through trial and lots of errors.
Replaces the mesh and textures of the fire salts ingredient. Fire salts now appear to be larger crystals rather than small grains. Textures are available in a selection of resolutions.
Optional ENB particle lighting for the mesh, resulting in a nice, fiery glow. The FOMOD installer now also includes a brighter option for the particle lighting.
Requirements:
None for the standard file. The optional ENB Particle Lighting requires ENBSeries version 0. 365 or above.
Installation:
Download and install with a mod manager (Vortex or MO2). Choose your desired options in the FOMOD installer. ENB lighting options require ENB to be installed.
If using ENB lighting, ensure that EnableComplexParticleLights=1 and EnableBigRange=1 in your ENB settings.
Compatibility:
Mods that change the "meshes\clutter\ingredients\firesaltpile.nif" model will conflict. Load this mod after any conflicting mod to see crystalline fire salts. Texture replacers for the original fire salts model will have no effect if you use the mesh from this mod.
Mods that change attributes of ingredients (eg. gold value, effects, weight, etc.) or add the item in new locations are compatible.
