📋 About This Mod
ORIGINAL NIGHT EYE IMOD
Most people are likely unaware that Bethesda had broken the Night Eye IMOD effects for no apparant reason, the Update. ESM carries 3 broken IMOD records utilized by the Night Eye and Vampire's Sight spells, this simple mod replaces the Night Eye IMOD Effects in the Update. ESM with the Original Night Eye IMOD effects in the Skyrim. ESM, as you can see in the screenshots below the changes speak for themselves...
So what is the problem with Night Eye?
If you use Night Eye as often as I do you may come to notice the effects are kind of bugged, first of all the most obvious issue would be that the Night Eye effect is rather dark and does not illuminate the area as well as it should, as it turns out the Night Eye used to be brighter but Bethesda chose to darken the Night Eye effect via one of Skyrim's many updates effectively giving you no reason to ever use it, if anything the darkening became a hindrance and you could see better without it , the second issue is more of an annoyance, while activating the Night Eye spell you will notice a brief flicker before the Static IMOD kicks in, this bug was introduced in that same update, this mod also fixes that issue by restoring the original records that existed before the Updates where the Bugged effects did not exist., this means not only is the Night Eye effect brighter but the transition upon activation is now fluid and does not cause a screen-flicker.
