✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (885k) shows it's a must-have for many players.
- Adds a simple, logical interaction that makes torches more useful in combat and exploration.
- Small, focused mod that doesn't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
- No detailed documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
- Only affects torch bashing, so if you rarely use torches, you won't see much benefit.
For Skyrim players who love immersive details and want torches to feel more like a tool, not just a light source. Also great for stealth or trap-heavy playthroughs where setting off hazards from a distance is handy. Skip if you never use torch bashing or prefer combat-focused mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch installed to avoid conflicts with trap scripts.
- Test the mod in a saved game near a trap (like a pressure plate) to see the ignition effect before relying on it in combat.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
