⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects SkyUI's active effect icons—if you don't use SkyUI, this mod does nothing for you.
  • Purely cosmetic; no gameplay or performance benefits beyond visual clarity.
  • Last updated in 2019, so it may not be tested with the latest SkyUI or game patches—check compatibility before installing.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure SkyUI is installed first—this mod only works with SkyUI's interface.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install, but manual drop-in works fine since there's no ESP.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, verify your game version matches the mod's compatibility—it hasn't been updated since 2019.
