📋 About This Mod
This is updated version of No Edge Glow - Magic and Transformations by mm137, updated to the latest version of USSEP. Flagged as ESL, so it doesn't count towards 255 plugin limit.
Description from original page:
Inspired by
No More Glowing Edges Mod by ftreach, updated to work with SSE and include previously excluded effects, DLC effects, werewolf and vampire transformations, and weapon and armor enchantment effects.
Since that mod has been inactive since 2013, I decided to expand and improve on it myself. This also corrects a couple of errors from that mod, and includes fixes from USSEP.
You still get the particle effects, various glows, etc - only the edges are removed.
