📋 About This Mod

Thanks ap05 and Acro748 for the genius idea!

MIF - Mu Impact Framework at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

Just a simple ini file that makes the weapon sound and visual effects of metal crashing when attacking heavy armor

Both the sound and spark effects are invoked from the vanilla Skyrim, so if you have a replacement sound or spark effect, it may look different

no esp, just a skse ini file

In the vanilla Skyrim, whether you're naked, wearing light armor or a heavy armor, the sound effects of being attacked are always monotonous, which is not immersive! You now emit a crisp metallic sound when wearing heavy armor. This is just a visual effect and doesn't really provide damage reduction.

But if you're equipped with some sexy bikini armor with heavyarmor keywords, unfortunately, your immersion is ruined  :(

This is just a very simple minor change, if you want to change more hit effects, check out the MIF mods page :)

Thanks ap05 and Acro748 for the genius idea again!
