This Mod enables glowing eyes for those races whose eyes don’t naturally glow in the vanilla version of the game.
In practice, that means everyone but Tieflings & Dragonborn.
If you would like for your race or head mod to be supported, please reach out to me and I'll add support on my end.
Please don't manually add support on your end without speaking to me first, as that can easily lead to
compatibility issues and chaos. Thank you! 💜
If your mod is mentioned here as supported but I never reached out to you for permission, it is because your mod inherently functions alongside this mod due to using a vanilla or generic eye mesh name. While I initially never labelled mods that are inherently functional as supported, I frequently receive requests for mods that do function on their own and wouldn't require a patch. Because of that, these types of mods are now also listed here as supported. :) Please be assured I would not patch without permission.

Origin Characters
All Origin Characters are now supported
As by default none of their eye colors contain Glow, you'll need
Eralyne's Appearance Edit Enhanced and its optional Appearance Edit Origins
file to be able to take advantage of this change.
This also means that if you don't want your Origin characters' or Companion's eyes to glow,
but still want to use Glow Eyes for your Tav, this change won't affect their appearance unless you
purposefully change their eye color to one that contains glow.
Glow Eyes should be compatible with mods that alter the companions' appearance, however
any mods that adjust a companions eye colors may still conflict. To avoid this, please load Glow Eyes after
any other mods that modify companions' appearance, if you'd like Glow Eyes to apply to them.
Any other appearance-related changes as well as loose file replacers should be compatible now.

This mod is not compatible with Eyes of the Beholder
Nothing bad will happen if you install both, but they will overwrite each other - whichever is loaded last has priority.
Support for modded races & heads has to be added manually.
If you would like glowing eyes to be enabled for a mod not currently supported, please let
me know - but be aware that this will depend on whether the creator is comfortable with me
adding support or not. Feel free to ask the creator for permission before requesting I add support!
Use modded eye colors for best results
Many vanilla eye colors don't include certain glow options, like flame effects, animation, or pupil glow.
For the best results - especially ones closer to what is shown as examples within this mod - consider using a mod that adds
custom eye colors that include glow, such as my own Demon Eyes Eye Color Collection, or Kai's eye colors.
