Refraction of Light

Wikipedia on the Light Refraction:

"When a wave passes from one medium to another medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes through water, the wave will slow and change direction." In a plain term, it looks great in-game in motion.

This mod featured on the Skyrim Beautification web site.

Installation

Please install the MAIN download file first, and you can stop the installation if you don't want the optional files.  The MAIN download has the NON SKIMPY armors and non transparent weapons.

Please use the Nexus Mod Manager (or Mod Organizer) if you have it because that will automatically install.

The "Refracting Stalhrim Options" download has a list of SKIMPY armors and the transparent weapons.

  • []The MAIN download is not required for installing just the transparency weapons.

    []The male armors and female boots/gauntlets are missing, so the MAIN download is recommended for installing a SKIMPY female armor.

    If you want to install both NON SKIMPY armors and the transparent weapons:

    • []install MAIN first, and install the "Refracting Stalhrim Options" download with only the transparent weapon option.

      []You must ignore all other armor options because they are all SKIMPY female armors only.

      All armors from MAIN and optional downloads do not have the transparency option.

      • []I didn't do the transparency on armors because the armor's crystal looked too dull.

        []The transparency on the shield and the weapons option is available in the All in One options download.

        For the Scoped Stalhrim bow with the refracting scope lens option, the Scoped Bows by OutLaw666 must be installed first.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Stalhrim gear from Dragonborn, so if you don't use that DLC or gear, it's useless
  • The refraction effect might not be to everyone's taste—could look odd on some textures
  • Compatibility risk with other Stalhrim retextures or mesh overhauls

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the Dragonborn DLC installed, as the mod only affects its Stalhrim gear.
  • If you use a body mod like CBBE or UNP, pick the matching version during install to avoid clipping.
  • Load order doesn't matter much, but place it after other Stalhrim texture mods to ensure the effect applies.
