📋 About This Mod
I really like the candle smoke effect added by Enhanced Lights and FX but I found it too bright and vivid. This is a simple edit to make it more subtle, issues with parts of the smoke being disconnected as it moves should be fixed in v1.
For reference I'm also using ELFX Shadows and a modified PI-CHO ENB in the screenshots.
ELFX Subtle Candle Smoke is a small texture mod that makes candle smoke from ELFX and Skyrim 2020 more transparent and darker, reducing visual prominence. It's for Skyrim players who find the default smoke distracting. With 116 endorsements and a 2022 update, it's a niche but functional tweak.
