🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod only changes visuals, it's safe to install mid-playthrough—just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager.
If you're using a mod manager, preview the two versions in-game to see which size you prefer before committing.
Check if your other magic mods alter Ice Spike or Ice Spear meshes—if so, load order might matter to avoid conflicts.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community approval with 8,001 endorsements and nearly 150k downloads.
- Gives you two size options (50% or 30%) so you can pick what feels right.
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says—no bloat, just smaller ice spells.
👎 Cons
- Only affects two spells—if you wanted other ice magic resized, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2013, so it's ancient by Skyrim standards—might have issues with newer setups.
- No screenshots or detailed install notes in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
