I do not want my character lighting up at all, not even the swirls. Recently, I grabbed Duke Patrick's Script Effect Silencer. Is that the best option, and which of the plugins should I install, the basic or the beta?

The Script Effect Silencer won't do anything regarding this, it's purpose is the get rid of the thumping sound or flashes etc. that you can get if using several mods using AoE script effects.

Not sure if there is a mod doing what you want.

It would be easy enough to make one... just a matter of removing the on-cast effects from the Magic Effects.

[EDIT] Easy enough yes, but incredibly tedious...

[EDIT again] http://www.4shared.com/file/247368264/252da0f2/FXBeGone.html... removes the light and effect from everything... I forgot about sounds, and they'll take four times as long as this did, so I'll wait until I know for sure if you care about the sound to work on that

P.S. I'm really not sure what it's going to do, since I'm not going to test it... way too sleepy right now. I promise it won't make your game blow up, but it might do weird [censored] for as long it's active. If it DOES do something freaky, just deactivate and all will be fine. Let me know about it so I can fix it. There was really no finesse involved in its creation, so the effects might have been removed from some things that would make sense to keep them*.





*This sentence makes no grammatical sense. It's 5 AM. Deal with it.

This MAY be what you want.

Duke Patrick's Magic you can believe in.
Less "cartoon" and more organic and magical shaders for more immerse play.

Thank you all. Unfortunately, I do not have a physical machine to run Oblivion on...Maybe, I can get someone to try it out for me at home. I am using LogMeIn, and I do not think running Oblivion through that weak connection would work out to well, who knows... I want to try to keep current this time, so that when I get home (in a few months) I will not have to do the massive update thing where a lot of problems I was not expecting turn up. It is hard to resist updating everything all at once and hoping for the best. I will try them both out in time, however. I was initially wondering if I had to use DP's mod, loading near the very end of my load order. I would rather merge something into my small tweaks merge file.
