FAQ

1) If I make a video of the mod, will I be on the front page?

The first good-looking video will be on the front page!

2) Can I share my screenshot here?

SFW only, and to do so, post them on media with my mod selected!

3) What program do you use?

Photoshop, Substance Painter, C4D, 3D Coat, Blender, Nifskop, and Real Esrgan

4) What ENB do you use?

Azurite Horizons ENB

5) I can't download it. Help!

If you can't download it, just wait at least one hour for the Nexus server to fix it before telling me that you can't download it!

6) What if I use an older version of Skyrim SE? Will the ESL work?

Yes with this mod Backported Extended ESL Support

7) It still doesn't work for me even with backported extended ESL support. What do I do?

Download the LE version and fix it with xedit. Turn the 43 into a 44. You play with an old version, so you need to do the older fix.

8) Why is it so small in the inventory?

Because you need ELIF for ENB particles.

9) Give permission for users to modify my file; including releasing bug fixes or improving on the features my file adds to the game, and upload it as a separate file?

Yes, you can enable donation points as long as it's a separate file that doesn't contain the original work.

10) Where are the glow maps for LE?

Sorry, from now on, all the LE versions don't have glow maps anymore because, for some reason, they don't work anymore.
