Do you find it annoying that the torch is always on your face in first person view making it very difficult to see especially during combat? The bright fire on the screen has always been a big distraction for me, and for that reason, I find torches very impractical to use. This mod aims to fix this issue by improving the torch mesh - allowing it to be held farther away from the face. This mod is a simple mesh replacer and does not contain textures so you can use it with your favorite torch retexture.


Features:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

- Now, you don't see the torch flame in first person view! no more distraction
- Tweaked Vanilla torch mesh - grip position moved lower and torch made slightly longer 
- By positioning the torch slightly tilted outward to the left side, the flame is now farther away from the character's face in both first person and third person view thereby improving visibility (in 1st person). 
- Works on NPCs as well
- Mod does not modify the torch's lighting values and does not have animation changes 
- Aside from the practical benefits to visibility, Proper Torch Wield also makes torch wielding more realistic because in real life torches are not supposed to be held near your face straight up because it is hot and embers that spark off the burning material can hurt you. 

Requirements:
NONE


Compatibility:
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

- Basically compatible with ALL mods because it is just a mesh replacer - no esp, no scripts
- This mod is compatible with all lighting mods, just make sure you overwrite their torch meshes (e.g. ELFX, RLO, COT, SMIM, etc.)
- There may be conflicts with mods that add effects based on the torch mesh

Recommended for use with:
(optional) Hold Your Torch Higher - this mod changes the 3rd person animation only and no visual 1st person effect

Installation:
