📋 About This Mod
What it does:
This mod retextures the candle flames throughout Skyrim. Added transparency and warmer color to make them look more realistic.
Availabe in 1K. The optional file reduces the weird vanilla candle glow. But some want to keep it vanilla, so i made it optional. It only
retextures the candle flames, not the candles itself.
