📋 About This Mod
Lux and Lux Orbis edit a lot of meshes, splitting them to circumvent the lights per mesh limit, or removing shadow casting flags from chandeliers for example. This allows them to have such phenomenal lighting, but tends to lead to conflicts with other mods that replace models. The Lux and Orbis FOMODs contain patches for a few of these, but I found some in my LO that weren't covered by the Lux author or 3rd party patches (at least I couldn't find any). I patched these for myself, and now I'm sharing them for others so you don't have to do the same work again. :)
Lux patches:
Distinguished Drapery
Icy Mesh Remaster last checked against 3. 37
Glorious Glaciers
Skyrim Remastered - Caves (non-parallax)
Skyrim Remastered - Glaciers and Ice
Lux Orbis patches:
Skyrim Objects SMIMed - Warmaiden's Holes
Whiterun Objects SMIMed - Dragonsreach Stairs - and some other stairs too
Whiterun Simple 3D Wooden Trellis
These patches should overwrite everything.
If you use Skyrim Remastered - Caves, don't install the Lux fixed ice cave meshes!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (950k) shows this is the go-to patch for Lux users
- 2,178 endorsements means the community vouches for it
- Solves a real headache—getting Lux and Lux Orbis to play nice
⚠️ Cons
- No install instructions in the description—you'll need to know your mod manager
- Last updated June 2026, so it might not cover future Lux updates
- Requires both Lux and Lux Orbis installed, so it's useless if you only run one
For Skyrim modders who run both Lux and Lux Orbis and want to avoid lighting conflicts. If you only use one of those mods, skip this—it's purely a compatibility patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Lux and Lux Orbis installed before adding this patch, and load it after them in your mod order.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to install—it'll handle file overwrites automatically.
- If you see flickering or dark spots, double-check that the patch is placed after both Lux mods in your load order.
