📋 About This Mod

As you walk from Raven Rock to the mushroom house place you'll come across a pale ember thing on one of the cliffs that is the only known reference to either of the two dlc2scatteredembers meshes. It's awful, I made it less awful.

- I have no clue what was the idea behind the implementation of the model. Instead of having two alpha'd weird ash things with glow maps, it's now just one solid ash thing with a decal with the glow. Makes more sense and since it's not flagged as blending, light now works as intended

- Fixed a geometric blunder causing a seam in the middle of the model

- Made the things in the middle be rocks since that's what I assume they are supposed to be?

- Material fix, though it's essentially a decal it has a collision somehow

- Tweaked vertex coloring so it should suit the cliff underneath it better (YMMV depending on landscape textures etc etc)

- Added a small ESL -flagged plugin to sink it into the cliff instead of hovering over it

- ENB Light version available if that's your jam

Compatibility:

- Conflict with EmbersXD, if you like this let it overwrite, if you like EmbersXD let it overwrite. Regardless you may want the plugin to fix its positioning.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-tested with 191 endorsements and 14k downloads, so it's proven to work for many.
  • Fixes a real visual annoyance for players exploring Solstheim, making the area look more natural.
  • Includes an ESL plugin, so it won't bloat your load order.

⚠️ Cons

  • Conflicts with EmbersXD, so you'll have to choose which mod wins, which could break other visual overhauls.
  • The vertex color tweak may not match all landscape texture mods, so you might see a slight mismatch.
  • Only affects one small mesh, so it's a niche fix for a specific spot—not a broad improvement.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who notice and care about small environmental details, especially those exploring Solstheim and wanting a cleaner look. It's perfect for modders who want a quick, low-impact fix without overhauling the whole area. Skip if you don't visit Raven Rock often or if you're not bothered by minor mesh issues.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use EmbersXD, decide which mod you prefer and let it overwrite, but keep the plugin from this mod to fix positioning.
  • For the ENB Light version, make sure you have ENB installed and configured to see the glow effect.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily handle the overwrite conflict and load order.
