🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's an old mod, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition—this was made for the original, so you might need to port it or find a compatible version.
If you use other mods that change Runestones or Ayleid Wells, load Glowing Stones after them so its effects take priority.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drop-in, but a manager makes it easy to uninstall if you don't like it.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 1,783 endorsements and 179k downloads—clearly a lot of people dig it.
- Simple and effective: makes those stones pop so you can spot them from a distance.
- Adds a bit of audio flair too, not just visuals—nice touch for immersion.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2013—might have issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter those stones.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes from the author, so you're on your own if something conflicts.
- It's a niche cosmetic tweak—if you don't care about glowing stones, this won't change your game much.
