✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight, focused fix—does exactly what it says and nothing else
- Solid community trust (107 endorsements, 19k downloads)
- SKSE plugin means no script lag or papyrus overhead
⚠️ Cons
- Only fixes the exploit—no other torch improvements
- Requires SKSE, so console players are out of luck
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter torch behavior
For Skyrim players who hate the torch exploit and want a more immersive survival feel. If you're a purist who wants to remove cheap tricks, this is for you. Skip if you don't care about torch timers or play on console.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE's loader, not the vanilla launcher.
- Place the plugin in your Data folder or use a mod manager—either works fine.
- If you use other torch mods, load this one after them to ensure the fix applies.
