I admit I don’t really have the habit of giving endorsements or feedback on mods here on Nexus. I usually just come here, grab what I need, and leave. But I had to take a moment to say this mod feels like it was made specifically for me.
I’ve been working on perfecting a modlist for a Vigilant of Stendarr playthrough for a while now, and one of the only things missing was a way to capture souls without breaking roleplay too hard. Especially since in Wintersun, using any kind of conjuration magic breaks your bond with Stendarr. Even though I could still use an enchanted weapon, I’m a bit of a roleplay maniac and it just didn’t feel right. I searched everywhere for something like a “Holy Soul Trap” or anything similar, but all I found were broken mods or ones stuck in Legendary Edition and abandoned since like 2014. I’d looked everywhere... and given up.
A few weeks passed while I was busy with college stuff, and once I had a bit more free time, I decided to use GROK to look for a mod like that and it pointed me here. But I was 100% sure the bot was just making it up, since I’d already searched all the keywords and found nothing. Then BOOM, I find this mod that was released just about 10 days after I had given up searching, and Shiny Soul Trap fits perfectly with what I was looking for.
The only thing I kinda missed was having the effect on enchanted weapons be golden or white instead of the default blue, but everything else is working flawlessly. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for future updates.
