📋 About This Mod
The original mod author doesn't mod anymore and as such stated that all their mods are free to modify and publish. Moreover, someone on Skyrim modding subreddit asked for a variant of that mod. And I haven't found any alternative on the SSE Nexus.
Although it's A-OK to use meshes made for Oldrim, with specific "buts", the new NIF file format is a bit more optimized. Whatever.
So I ported the mod with ousnius' neat tool and also (probably a questionable change, but feel free to discuss) stripped redundant editor marker and BSX flags (it is not animated and is not visible anyway, and there is no editor marker) with latest version of Nifskope. This means you wouldn't be able to see the fog meshes in CK, however... I'm not really sure if you actually need that.
And there we are.
Description This mod replaces the floating dust meshes you very often see in dungeons with absolutely blank ones — no polygons, nothing, just the root node, header and footer. It doesn't remove the distance fog — that needs an esp file with changing every cell settings, and that's what the goal of rgabriel15's Remove Interior Fog was. SSE port by LoD7995 here.
It will for sure ease the navigation in your favorite draugr infested dungeon and may even give a performance boost.
Installation
Unpack and drop in your Data folder. Overwrite if necessary.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 7,097 endorsements and 1.4 million downloads show it's a go-to fix.
- Does exactly what it says—no more blinding dust in interiors, which is a godsend for dungeon crawlers.
- Zero bloat: no extra scripts or dependencies, just a clean visual tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches, though many users report it still works.
- Purely cosmetic; if you're looking for gameplay changes, this isn't it.
- No detailed install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author, so you're on your own if issues arise.
For Skyrim SE players who are tired of squinting through dusty interiors and want a cleaner look without overhauling their graphics. Perfect for those who value visual clarity over atmospheric haze. Skip if you enjoy the immersive dust or want more than a simple tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple ESP/ESL, just drop it into your Data folder or use your mod manager—no special load order needed, but placing it near the bottom can't hurt.
- If you're using ENB, you might still see some fog effects from the ENB itself; this mod only removes the game's built-in dust.
- Check the mod's comments section for user reports on compatibility with the latest Skyrim SE updates, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2016.
