⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 1,420 endorsements and over 34k downloads—clearly a go-to for immersion.
Fixes both animation and physics, so torches don't clip or float awkwardly.
Works for NPCs too, so the whole world feels more consistent.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2020—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
Purely cosmetic; no gameplay changes, so if you want torch mechanics altered, this isn't it.
Requires the Mesh Improvement Project mod as a dependency, which isn't included.
