📋 About This Mod

Conflict

The mod only changes the candle textures so you should be free to use it with your other mods without a problem

Advantages

This mod doesn't just create a candle texture but also introduces light effects such as glare and chromatic aberration.

Resolutions

Comes in 2K and 1K and 512x512

The difference from past mod

Essentially the older mod was a test to see what people thought and was made with a lot less care and skill than this.

NO ESP will not add to mod limit.
