📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 548 endorsements and 76,928 downloads
- Fixes a subtle but noticeable immersion breaker for torch users
- Lightweight visual tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole game
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Base Object Swapper, so you'll need to grab that dependency first

- Last updated in early 2023, so it might not be tested with the latest game patches
