SPID file available that disables footprints for ghostly humanoids and cows present in The Soul Cairn. Ultimate fix - SPID for Footprints (and kids addon) required. Let my SPID file overwrite the one from said mod.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 525 endorsements and over 154k downloads.
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says without bloat.
- Adds a nice touch of realism to an otherwise barren area.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects The Soul Cairn, so if you rarely visit that realm, you won't see much benefit.
- May conflict with other mods that overhaul The Soul Cairn's textures or meshes.
- No recent updates since January 2025, so it might not be actively maintained.
For Skyrim players who want more immersive ground effects in The Soul Cairn, especially those who spend time in the Soul Cairn for quests or farming. If you're looking for a broad footprint overhaul across all of Skyrim, this isn't it—it's location-specific. Skip if you don't care about visual details in that area.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- If you use other mods that change The Soul Cairn's ground textures, load this mod after them to ensure footprints appear correctly.
- Check the mod's comments or posts for any known compatibility patches if you're using a big visual overhaul.
