📋 About This Mod
My new models (meshes) for some candles from the "Beyond Skyrim Bruma - SE" mod. Namely bskcandle01.nif, bskcandle02.nif, bskcandle03.nif and bskcandle04.nif.
For many models of candles, candlesticks and candelabra from the Beyond Skyrim Bruma - SE mod, replacers from other authors work great. However, for the above-mentioned NIFs, none of the replacers from other authors that I know of work. And these low-quality vanilla candle models really spoiled my overall impression of the wonderful mod "Beyond Skyrim Bruma - SE". Since no one from the authors has made these replacers for many years, I decided to do it myself.
I know that I still have a lot to learn in the field of 3D modeling and texturing, so my models do not look very good, they cannot compete with candles from Rudy. However, I am sure that my new models look better than vanilla.
I made this mod for myself, and now I share it with those of you who may like it.
UPDATE 1. 1
Added previously missed bskcandlesingle01.nif and bskcandlesingle01.nif
Before bskcandlesingle01.nif :
AFTER bskcandlesingle01.nif :
BEFORE bskcandlesingle02.nif :
AFTER bskcandlesingle02.nif :
Compatability:
Should be fully compatible with anything except mods from other author's that modify the listed above Bruma's candles.
Not compatible with mods that make any changes to the Bruma's candles (bskcandle01.nif, bskcandle02.nif, bskcandle03.nif bskcandle04.nif, bskcandlesingle01.nif and bskcandlesingle02.nif), included in this mod, it's IDs, names, etc., even if it is a simple name or folder structure change. Not compatible with any other mesh replacers and/or retexture for this vanilla Bruma's candles.
No ESP, no scripts. So it absolutely safe to install/uninstall at mid-game (at any time).
Please note that the main files don't have candle smoke, as smoking candles and torches do not exist in the original vanilla assets. Accordingly, the patch for the Smoking Torches and Candles mod is located in the "Optional Files" section. Credit to mindflux for this amazing mod and the open permissions
This mod replaces six low-quality vanilla candle meshes from Beyond Skyrim Bruma - SE with new models by Halffaces. It targets specific NIFs that other replacers miss, improving visual consistency without competing with high-end options like Rudy. A small but dedicated fix for Bruma enthusiasts.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a real gap—these specific Bruma candles have no other working replacers, so this is a unique solution.
- Lightweight and focused: only touches six meshes, so it won't bloat your load order.
- Community-tested with 137 endorsements and 7,647 downloads, showing it's a trusted fix.
⚠️ Cons
- Author admits the models are basic and won't compete with high-end replacers like Rudy's candles.
- Not compatible with any mod that alters the same Bruma candle meshes, even minor changes like renaming.
- Only affects candles from Beyond Skyrim Bruma—if you don't use that mod, this is useless.
For Skyrim players who love Beyond Skyrim Bruma but are bothered by the low-quality vanilla candles that other replacers miss. If you're a perfectionist about visual consistency in Bruma, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Bruma or if you're fine with the original candles.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Beyond Skyrim Bruma - SE installed, as this mod only replaces its meshes.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drop-in, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- If you're using other Bruma mesh replacers, check that they don't touch the same candle NIFs to avoid conflicts.
