📋 About This Mod

Restores the hot air shimmering effect over lava and some other things.

Since March 2023 these effects haven't been working with ENB, because of some different fixes that are implemented by ENB.

So, I made the fix to make these effects working, with or without ENB.

Just a mesh replacer, no plugin to take place in load order.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 380 endorsements and over 127k downloads

  • Lightweight and focused—does one thing well

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires ENB to be installed, so it's useless without it
  • Niche fix—only affects heat shimmer, not other visual issues
  • Potential conflicts with other ENB presets or visual overhauls that modify similar effects
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who use ENB and notice broken heat shimmer over lava or hot springs. If you're a visual purist who wants accurate air distortion, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use ENB or don't care about heat shimmer.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure ENB is installed and working before adding this fix
