Combine this with Remove Screen FX for even more

You can combine all of the optional files however you want, only use 1 ESP though.
Also, if you'd like to use the AIO but would like to remove one of the options from it, just look at the files in the optional version of it and remove them from the mod.

(Technical Stuff)

-The only records changed were in Effect Shaders in Skyrim.esm. A few nifs and a few dds were altered. Very light, very compatible, easily patchable.

-New target texture DDS files for effects so that they can be adjusted independently without removing each other (example: soul gem glows and lightning effect glows used to be tied to one texture file, they both have their own separate target textures now)

-Every other mod that has something to do with a glow(s) on Nexus has compromises or issues. Spells breaking, shout effects not showing, desired effects compromised to try and tweak a bugged mod to do like one or two things. Everything in this mod works as it should, it's been thoroughly tested. Invisibility, Shouts, Spells, Cloaks, Ghosts, Lights, etc. No shortcuts


-Removed the Outer Edge AND Inner Particles by deleting all membrane pallette textures, all particle palette textures, all holes textures (NAM7-NAM9 records) and set the time to 0 for all of the texture and shader fx on the body. To be sure I toggled off many of the particle shader flags as well. (These are steps other mods missed)

-Body, Armor, and Weapon glows from alchemy, enchantments, spells, and transformations are removed

-The 3 DLC's, Particle Patch for ENB, and USSEP were all considered when I adjusted the records. So they are compatible though not necessary.

-For most of it, I played process-of-elimination until I got the desired results with the nif meshes and dds textures. Once I found the right ones I erased most of their records in the nifs and made the dds files 100% transparent and 32x32

*If you find a bug or missed effect anywhere please let me know so that I can fix it ASAP
