Q: I have a question.
A: Read the description thoroughly before posting a comment. I am happy to help you with anything not mentioned here.
Q: Can I add this to an existing game?
Q: Does this work with ___?
A: I have no idea. I use Immersive Sounds that has a patch in the FOMOD. There is also now a patch for YASTM.
Q: What if I don't want the filled and empty gems to have different models?
A: Delete the plugin. You can then also delete any mesh ending in _full if you want.
Q: Will you tweak ___ so it looks like ___ in my game?
A: Nope. There are way too many variables at play to make things fit exactly what you want in your game. I tweaked it so it looked good in my game. It's a great thing to learn how to tweak these things yourself because what you like and what fits in your game is unique to you. You can find explanations in the comments.

- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter soul gem textures or meshes
For Skyrim players who want their soul gems to look stunning and immersive, especially those using ENB or wanting a non-ENB upgrade. If you're into visual polish without gameplay changes, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or don't care about gem aesthetics.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Check your graphics settings for parallax support; if it's not enabled, the effect may not show fully.
