📋 About This Mod
Just a small visual upgrade. Adding smoother meshes to the vanilla Oil Lamp Trap.
Texture paths remain unchanged, making the new meshes compatible with any vanilla texture replacer.
Special thanks to Mindflux for giving me permission to use their assets for the Embers XD version of this mod.
Retexture featured in the images is from Oil Lamp Trap Retexture by IWantATardis
The 'HPVOT - Embers XD with Inferno Fire Effects' main file combines the embers from Embers XD with the flame effects of Inferno - Fire Effects Redux. Both the original Embers and Inferno mods are required for this version. Have my mod overwrite Embers XD (no conflict with Inferno).
Optional Files:
HPVOLT - Civil War Oil Pot Pile : Adds the higher poly pots to the 'Civil War Oil Pot Piles' mesh (cwoilpotpile.nif).
Compatibility:
This mod replaces only the mesh files, no plugin/ESP included. No textures are included in the download, your own load order will determine the actual textures used.
Installation:
Use your preferred mod manager to install as per normal.
Overwrite if prompted / give my mod priority.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 597 endorsements and over 74k downloads
- No ESP means no load order conflicts and easy removal
- Simple visual upgrade that doesn't touch gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Oil Lamp Trap, so impact is limited to one object
- Higher poly meshes can slightly impact performance on low-end systems
- May conflict with other mods that replace the same mesh
For Skyrim players who want a quick visual polish on a common dungeon prop without dealing with plugin overhead. If you're a modder or a perfectionist who notices low-poly objects, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or overhaul packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and uninstall without touching your Data folder manually.
- If you use other mesh replacers, check load order to ensure this one takes precedence if you want its look.
- Since it's a mesh replacer, it works with any texture mods you have; no need to patch.
