📋 About This Mod

Makes all in-game swirly smoke effects less visible.

tricker7 approached me on my Dimmer Apocrypha Smoke mod and asked if the effect can be extended to Sleeping Tree swirls and one bit in Raven Rock Mine that had funky swirling going on. Decided to go compatibility first and release a catch-all model mod for all the swirly effects, since they all look silly.

Comes in two flavors;

- One simply dims the effect by 50%, will work in pretty much all cases.

- Soft Lighting version keeps the intensity the same but applies some ENB values by switching from Effect Lighting to Soft Lighting. May look better on some ENBs, worse on some. Works the same as the ENB particles option in the Lux FOMOD, in case you're looking for consistency across smokes/mists/dusts.

The images don't really pay justice to the changes, as the swirls are more clearly visible as they move around. Changes from Dimmer Apocrypha Smoke are included and that mod can be uninstalled if you want to use this mod instead.
