📋 About This Mod

Includes all towns, cities, dungeons and DLCs. Over 400 meshes in total. Processed using my ItAddsParallax script based on the normals filename. Footstep fix for Dwemer floor tiles from here is also included.

Download comes with a fomod installer so you can install only what you need. Load/install this mod after all mods that come with their own parallax models.

anamorfus was kind enough to grant permission for mod authors to include these meshes in their own mods for the purpose of providing compatibility patches with ELFX. I would encourage mod authors to please use these as resources in their own parallax releases.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Works as both a direct install and a modder's resource, giving flexibility.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires you to already have parallax textures installed, otherwise you won't see any visual difference.
  • Only covers ELFX meshes, so you'll need to manage compatibility with other lighting mods manually.
  • Last updated in November 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest ELFX versions or game patches.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE modders who use ELFX and want to add parallax depth to their lighting meshes. If you're a mod author, this is a handy resource for building compatibility patches. Skip if you're not using ELFX or don't have parallax textures ready.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have parallax textures installed first, otherwise this mod won't show any visual change.
  • Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to install this over ELFX, and place it after ELFX in your load order.
  • If you're using other lighting mods, test in-game to ensure no conflicts with ELFX meshes.
