📋 About This Mod
New high poly mesh and texture for Frost Salts. Glows faintly in the dark with ENB Light and includes subtle cold fog animation.
I tried multilayer parallax and refraction to make the salts more ice-like but it doesn't work very well with meshes that are meant to be many objects in one. So, I went for a more ethereal look instead. It didn't really turn out the way I envisioned it but I'm releasing it anyway for you guys.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
May look different depending on your lighting setup and ENB.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (616k) shows it's a popular pick for visual overhauls.
- The glow and fog effects add a magical feel that fits Skyrim's alchemy vibe.
- High poly mesh means it'll look sharp even in close-up crafting scenes.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires ENB Light to see the glow, so it's useless for vanilla or non-ENB setups.
- Last updated in 2022 — might not be tested with the latest Skyrim patches or other mods.
- Only affects one ingredient, so it's a minor tweak unless you're a texture perfectionist.
For Skyrim modders who want to polish every detail, especially those using ENB and collecting high-quality texture replacers. Skip if you're on vanilla graphics or don't care about ingredient visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure ENB Light is installed and active, or the glow effect won't show.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
- Place this mod after other texture overhauls in your load order to ensure it takes priority.
