Honningbrew Barrel Flickering Fix
While testing his modlist, MontyTfreek found a random flickering barrel inside the Honningbrew Meadery and tried to figure out what was causing that.
Asking if this a known issue, prompted Aezandris and I to jump into the effort to uncover the issue and try to fix it.
After a lot of tinkering, we found out that bug itself was indeed a vanilla thing, hidden until the awesome Random Barrel Roll mod made the bug evident.
The bug
Inside the Honningbrew Meadery, there's a batch of barrels, and one of them heavily flickers. We found out that the issue is: there are 2 overlapping barrels there, since forever. But with the Random Barrel Roll, those barrels were rotated on different angles, prompting a z-fighting (flickering) on them.
Installation
Just install with your mod manager.
- Plugin version: load it near the very top of your order, just after the ESMs and ESLs.
- Base Object Swapper version: plug and play ;)

It offers both Base Object Swapper and Plugin versions, ensuring compatibility with that popular mod. With 240 endorsements and over 32k downloads, it's a community-trusted fix for a specific visual glitch.
