📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces all the alteration flesh spell effects.
Removes the terrible green glow and replaces it with animated textures.
There is also a new effect at the end of the spell circle.
The effects work on both male and female characters and affect the skin only,
also any NPC/Follower casting the spells.
It doesn't count toward the mod load limit. :)

Check the video in the optional downloads to see the exact effects.
Sorry about that, my intention was to upload to YouTube but it's hard
to tell what's going on even on 1080p60fHD. The reason is that YouTube
uses keyframe compression and that makes the the flesh animations
appear like they are skipping frames.
If you already have a mod that changes the way these effects work, place this mod
below it in the load order. This is a very simple mod and it should work just fine.
Not compatible with Sustained Magic - Keep Your Spells Going

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with nearly 20k endorsements—this is a mod people trust.
- Massive adoption (2.4M downloads) means it's been tested by tons of players.
- Simple, focused purpose: fixes an ugly visual without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
- Only affects the alteration flesh glow; if you wanted more visual overhauls, this is narrow.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you're using other visual mods that touch alteration effects, test for conflicts—this mod is old, so newer mods might override it.
- Check the mod's comments for any compatibility patches if you're running a big mod list.
