📋 About This Mod
Nothing much. I've tweaked some particle effects, added better glare and an actual light source to the metal impact FX.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 2,027 endorsements and 1.4 million downloads speak for themselves.
- Tiny mod that punches above its weight – just improves sparks, but makes combat feel way more visceral.
- Built on a solid foundation (powerofthree's mod), so you know the base is stable.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 – might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or other mods.
- Only affects metal hit FX – if you want more comprehensive visual overhauls, this won't cover everything.
- Requires the original Improved Sparks mod as a base, so you need to grab that first.
For Skyrim players who want more satisfying combat feedback without overhauling the whole game. If you're into visual polish and don't mind a tiny mod that does one thing well, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for major graphical changes – this is purely a combat FX tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Improved Sparks mod installed first – this mod builds on it.
- Place this mod after Improved Sparks in your load order to ensure it overrides correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate – no manual file placement needed.
