✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and clean: .ini only, no ESP or scripts, so it won't bloat your load order
- Community-approved with 213 endorsements and 8,740 downloads, showing it's a trusted fix
- Flexible customization: you can tweak the SWAP_ini to disable only specific glows, not all
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Base Object Swapper, so you need to install that dependency first
- Only affects the listed FX Glow meshes; other glow effects from other mods won't be touched
- Compatibility risk: if you use mods that also modify these same meshes, you might get conflicts
For Skyrim players who are overhauling their interior lighting and find the default FX Glow meshes visually jarring. It's perfect for modders who want a simple, script-free way to remove these effects without editing records. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla glow or don't use Base Object Swapper.

- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or it won't work.
- If you only want to remove a few glows, edit the SWAP_ini file to comment out the ones you want to keep.
- Since it's .ini only, you can easily toggle it on/off in your mod manager without affecting your save.
