📋 About This Mod

Too high poly? Like the original vanilla shape? Good news for you! Kiddgimmick has created a low poly mesh replacer, available here :)

(Picture above by VanNuys22)

High Poly Dark Elf Lanterns, diversified with BOS. Original mesh from Dark Elf Lantern ENB Light - Animated Glow by wSkeever, I made it high poly to be a nice circle as a quick thing for my friend, then got carried away with making it something bigger. Added 8 different textures to be swapped with a 12. 5% chance randomly using po3's Base Object Swapper. Version compatible with Nocturnal Moths by jple is available thanks to VanNuys22.

If you do not like some of the lantern patterns I've made, you can open the 0DVDiverseDarkElfLanterns_SWAP.ini and edit the percentages for the lanterns you don't like to 0% so they never show up. Make sure your edits are consistent between all models if you don't wish to see that particular lantern again.

~ Examples of all 8 patterns ~

~ Compatibility ~

Should be compatible with everything other than mods replacing the same thing. Compatible with Nocturnal Moths when using the version of this mod made to work with it (Thanks to VanNuys22). Compatible with mods like Dawn of Skyrim that add Dark Elf Lanterns. As long as the EditorID's of the lanterns are not changed, and there isn't another mod's SWAP.ini trying to change the lantern as well the swap will work.

~ Credits ~

Original mesh from Dark Elf Lantern ENB Light - Animated Glow by wSkeever , unedited texture base from Particle Patch for ENB by mindflux, framework to do this po3's Base Object Swapper, Nocturnal Moths by jple and thanks to VanNuys22, Van is also the reason I even started making this mod so drop Van a Kudos if you like it :) Thanks to all of these people for having permissions open.

8 different lantern patterns using Base Object Swapper
ENB light animated meshes included
Nocturnal Moths compatible version available

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 7,797 endorsements and 1.9M downloads
  • Adds visual variety with 8 distinct patterns, so your lanterns won't all look the same
  • ENB light animation makes lanterns feel alive, especially at night

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Base Object Swapper and ENB for full effect, so it's not a simple drop-in mod
  • Last updated in January 2023, so may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates
  • Nocturnal Moths version is separate, so you'll need to choose which one to install
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to overhaul the look of Dark Elf lanterns with high-poly models and dynamic lighting. Perfect for modders who already use ENB and Base Object Swapper. Skip if you prefer vanilla aesthetics or don't use ENB.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled, or the lantern patterns won't appear.
  • If you use ENB, enable the animated light meshes for the full effect; otherwise, the mod still works but without the dynamic lighting.
  • Choose between the standard version and the Nocturnal Moths compatible version based on whether you use that mod.
