Configuration
Only dungeons, caves, crypts, dens, ruins and lairs are impacted. No other locations (e.g., wilderness, inns, etc.). The mod is designed so users can disable individual meshes (currently configured to disable all meshes). Please see SWAP_ini.
The mod only removes effect fogs, mists and smokes (i.e., animated fogs, mists, and smokes). Distance fogs are not covered. You will need another mod to remove distance fogs, like Remove Interior Fog
Installation and Uninstallation
