About this mod
By default ENB complex particle lights will create lights for every candle flame on a mesh. This little mod aims to create a single ENB light for statics that contain multiple candles, such as chandeliers. The more candles, the brighter and larger radius the ENB light will get.

This mod works by adding a separate version of the candle flame mesh and removes the ENB light effect from it. New addon-nodes have been created which are only responsible for adding ENB light, one for each tier of strength (representing 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 candles). The more flames the brighter the lights will be and the radius also gets increased. Hopefully this will have a positive impact on performance as well.
For every mesh with 2 or more candles, the addon-nodes that added candle flames were switched to using the non-enb-light version of the flames, and a single addon-node for a ENB light of appropriate strength was added.

Installation
- Download and install main file. Enable the plugin, can be placed anywhere in your load order.
- Download and install patches of your choice. The order you install them in (or order them in if you use MO2) will determine which mesh will be the winner.
- Make sure no files in the "/meshes/mps/" folder get overwritten by other mods (like "ENB Light"). You probably want to load all your patches after any other mods containing the same meshes.
- You can also make your own patches using the method I posted at the bottom of this page, in case you have mods or combinations of mods not covered by the optional patch files.
Contents:
- An ESL flagged plugin that adds the new addon-nodes (note to other mod authors: slots 720-734)
- Meshes based on SMIM and vanilla with modified nodes in the main required download
- Optional patches for many mods, check the optional files section.
- Some subtle stylistic alterations to the particle systems of the candle flames. There is an optional download if you prefer to remove the slight glow/lightsprite around the flames.
