📋 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.
LE version: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/117612/?tab=description
A small visual fix that corrects the heat shimmer effect over lava and hot areas when using ENB. With 380 endorsements and 127,201 downloads, it's a proven solution for ENB users. Last updated February 2024, it remains relevant for current setups.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 380 endorsements and over 127k downloads
- Solves a specific visual annoyance for ENB users
- 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
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
- Place the files in your ENB folder, not the Data folder
- Test near a lava source to see the effect immediately
