📋 About This Mod
This mod changes all permanent, non interact-able torches into interact-able ones using the power of base object swapper. With this mod, you can turn off the torches found inside a dungeon, so you can sneak better in the dark.
This mod is a remake of old mod from Skyrim LE, Dynamic Torches, which i found when i checked the new released mod "LightsBane - Destroy Lanterns and Hide in Darkness". With the recent release of light placer and placed light, it is possible to remake the original mod by using only BOS file configuration, since all lights from torches will also be turned off when the torch is taken.
Installation:
1. Install placed light and all of its requirements
2. Install Base Object Swapper
3. Install this mod
Recommended mod:
"LightsBane - Destroy Lanterns and Hide in Darkness" for better stealth mechanic

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support (324 endorsements, 77k downloads)
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just torch interactivity
- Built on Base Object Swapper, so it's likely compatible with other BOS mods
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other mods that alter the same torches
- Requires Base Object Swapper, which is an extra dependency
- Limited scope—only affects torches, so it's a niche tweak
For Skyrim players who love immersive details and want to grab torches from walls. If you're a completionist who notices environmental props, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled, or the mod won't work.
- Load order matters—place this mod after other mods that modify torches to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
