Smoking Torches and Candles by mindflux

 

Adds smoke effects to both candles and torches. Subtle and effective.

I like the torches, but the candles shouldn't have the wide thick smoke trail. Candles don't really smoke while they are lit, it's after you put them out that they create a smoke wisp.

Latest torches not compatible Ultra HD Fire. From my understanding real torches don't smoke either, but I do like the effect.

Actually...I've googled and researched it. Torches do smoke but it's mainly dependent on the accelerant. I have yet to research whether or not the old style candles (mainly made from bee's wax) smoked or not.

Hmm... I didn't even read the compatibility thing. That's disappointing. Those old resin and tar torches would smoke pretty good. No one would ever take one of those things indoors and they'd only last 30-40 minutes at most. If they had some proper wicks and kerosene then it wouldn't smoke that much.

So there are two types of candles; tallow (animal fat) and bees wax. The tallow candles were less expensive and used by the more common folk, smoked, and often came with a bad odor. The bees wax were more expensive, used mainly but churches and nobility, but came with no odor and very little smoke.

The problem with the candles isn't so much the appearance of smoke, but the way the candles smoke. It would be a smoke wisp that came off the tip of the flame. You'd think they would have used all that Horker fat to make some oil for lamps. Those date back to the Stone Age. Hell, it would probably be one of the biggest exports of Skyrim to the rest of Tamriel.

In light of incompatibility issues and the unpopular candle smoke, this mod is being dropped from Testing for v2.2.9.1.
