Modified vanilla mesh is less graphically obtrusive

This mod reduces the visual effects of Skyrim Cloak spells so they no longer give you eyes.

I took inspiration from Oldrim's Subtle Cloak Spell Graphics via jaxonz, but modified all the meshes for vanilla Skyrim Special Edition myself.

Contains only grid, no ESP.

Install:

Use your mod manager or manually extract the mesh folder in the Data folder

Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
