📋 About This Mod
Description
Whilst several different mods exist that cover edge glow removal, I did not find one that completely worked with all the different mods I was using.
I found that certain affects from FEC or other shader mods were being removed unintentionally by the edge glow synthesis patch.
This keeps all the great shader effects from mods like FEC and EOL whilst removing all the eye sores from the Player/NPC/Armour.
Installation
1. Install this as you would any other mod inside your MO2 profile.
2. Load this fairly late in your load order near your patches and fixes. Let it overwrite any records.
3. Run your game and enjoy.
Q&A
Q. Why dont you just use the Synthesis edge glow remover patcher?
A. This always removed effects I didn't want removed, no matter how I ran it. Also, not everyone uses synthesis.
Q. Why is is this listen as a VR mod when it could easily be used in SSE?
A. This could be used in SSE but I don't play on that platform. I test things in VR and release them for VR.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 93 endorsements and over 12k downloads—clearly fills a niche for VR players.
- Preserves shader effects from popular mods like FEC and EOL, which other edge glow removers might break.
- Simple installation: just drop it into MO2 and load it late—no Synthesis patcher needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with a niche audience (93 endorsements), so it may not be as battle-tested as larger overhauls.
- Author only tests in VR, so SSE users are on their own for compatibility—though it should work.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that modify edge glow or shader records; load order is critical.
For Skyrim VR players who use shader mods like FEC or EOL and want to get rid of edge glow without losing those effects. Also for anyone who avoids Synthesis patchers and prefers a manual fix. Skip if you're on SSE and want guaranteed support—this is VR-focused.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Load this mod late in your load order, after other patches and fixes, so it overwrites any conflicting records.
- If you use MO2, install it like any other mod and let it overwrite—don't extract manually into your Data folder.
- Test with your shader mods (FEC, EOL) to confirm edge glow is gone but other effects remain.
