nice mod, only fault is it might highlight ores already mined, or not glow on others you have not touched.

wish there was a way to dim the glow down a bit, hurts my eyes while mining it, a light shade of red would look better too

Nice mod. Makes it so much easier to find ore. It does miss some, but it gets most. It makes it so easy to find that I don't care if I miss a few. You can see them from a pretty good distance away, like across a valley. Of course you still need to be line of sight with nothing blocking your view.

always missing ores due to them blending in ^_-
not any more ty

wondering if the re-spawn problem has been fixed ? sounds like a great mod.

This is great. I have occasionally found iron deposits that aren't lit up, but it's very rare.

This mod is a must-have if you have vision problems. It was almost impossible for me to see te striations that indicated ore in the rock, even with other mods that made them darker, lighter in an effort to make them stand out. This mod was a dream come true, now I can mine in skyrim.

About 1/50 rocks arent highlighted (one of them is beside the whiterun walls(quicksilver ore)) also itd be cool if the were really bright from far away and slowly got dimmer the closer you get.

This had me running around Skyrim all night like a kid in a candy store!!!!! :steamhappy: 10/10
One of my 'must-have' mods so thank you very much dev!

One thing, the glow is really bright! It messes with the shader and contraster so bright. On one side, I love it bcuz I can see ore from across the map Lol! On another side, it hurts my eyes when I get close to the ore.

@TitzMcGee: hey just whip out the rusty ol' pickaxe and whack it!

I love this mod. It helps big time without being a game breaker.. jOnly other comment is the ores in the dlc don't light up but the ore in the vanilla except the throat of the world do. but no complaints awesome job!!!
EbonWings 29 Apr, 2015 @ 5:16pm 
It rarely seems to work for me.
Mhurgle 23 Apr, 2015 @ 12:44pm 
Oh my gods, this will be a time-saver.
brenner204 8 Mar, 2015 @ 9:24am 
Really appreciate this mod, thanks!
Berserkir 21 Feb, 2015 @ 8:40am 
HEY nice mode, but some of the ores are not glowing
remember_to_stay_hydrated 6 Jan, 2015 @ 11:21am 
Nice idea, but it's to big help I thing... Maybe potion for this?
Vympel 6 Dec, 2014 @ 11:22am 
This is honestly one of the best mods. I had no idea that there were so many ores to be mined around.
count9us 23 Nov, 2014 @ 1:18pm 
It's a great idea, but I have to agree with bigwhitewerewolf it looks like snow then ore. I thank you anyway, i don't know much about making mods so I'm glad you made an effort.
bigwhitewerewolf 9 Oct, 2014 @ 10:20pm 
It seemed nice at first but the glow was too outward and all mines looked like being fixed in ice. More light into colours would have been better.
Blackkat 22 Aug, 2014 @ 5:54am 
Thank you for making this mod. It has been a big help.
Roscaria 19 Aug, 2014 @ 10:10am 
THE AUTHOR OF THIS MOD HAS NEVER RESPONDED TO ANY COMMENTS SINCE IT WAS PUT ON THE WORKSHOP IN 2012.

If you are expecting a reply you will not get one. This is a great mod but YES there are quite a few ore patches that do not glow and are mineable. Imagine how many hours it would take to cover and catalogue all Skyrim. Just keep an eye out for any light brown strippy rock with a few pink/red splothches. This mod was a great help when I first started out and many thanks to Churchy's Workshop for it's creation.
sad0clown 5 Aug, 2014 @ 1:08am 
thank you for your mod! i found ore in place i never mine before...wow! i only wish it wouldnt glow as much and its not every ore that glow in my game anyway..still i m very thankful for your mod! 8-)
ianneiriksson 27 Jul, 2014 @ 8:17pm 
One of the most helpfull mods I ever installed, and nothings crashed yet. Thank you!
Maze905 9 Jul, 2014 @ 7:55am 
Attention, it doesn't make Orichalcum Ore glow! Please fix it
Fat Freddy's Cat 5 Jul, 2014 @ 7:01am 
Makes mining so much esiere. Thanks!
Zanboon 2 Jul, 2014 @ 9:09pm 
no glow do i need script extender?
Zigtol 21 Jun, 2014 @ 11:09am 
so nice :redwizard:
Varnished Truths 18 Mar, 2014 @ 10:39am 
This is useful, except for the part where it's blindingly bright. If there were a way to turn the glow down, that'd be great.
Ancientwar 12 Mar, 2014 @ 6:19am 
i got no glow at all
lanessar 13 Jan, 2014 @ 2:30pm 
First, it does appear to miss ore deposits from time to time. I'm spotting several which don't "glow", it seems to happen more frequently in areas with lots of ore nodes.

Second (and personal preference), bright white glow where the textures of the ore get hidden is sort of immersion-breaking. I'll grant you that it's easier to see (like - during the daytime, I can see one from five miles away - and at night, it's simply dazzling), so it fulfills the purpose. There is, however, another mod which uses standard mapping so that only the "ore metal" glows, not the rock.

While slightly harder to detect from longer distances, it's difficult to miss from 100' or so, and also isn't totally intrusive to the experience. Of course, if you're not into immersion and all that, more of a "WOW-like" playstyle appeals, then I'd recommend this mod. As it stands, it's not for me.
Verboten 5 Jan, 2014 @ 4:15am 
The color choice is a litltle hard to see some times, but it is still better then trying to spot those viens with the naked eye.
Duffamongus 2 Jan, 2014 @ 7:23am 
I love the mod, but it only is working on 3/4 of the piles. I keep coming across piles that aren't glowing.
remaeus 28 Dec, 2013 @ 6:02am 
Very helpful, thanks. Though same effect being implemented as illusion spell would seem more authentic and less cheating.
Shino 28 Dec, 2013 @ 2:33am 
Great mod
Machin_Shin 27 Dec, 2013 @ 2:17pm 
Good idea, but bright white doesn't look very good. colors resembling the actual material being mined would be better. Also didn't seem to affect the geode veins in blackreach
dederek 22 Dec, 2013 @ 9:41am 
Good mod
Pyros 22 Dec, 2013 @ 9:08am 
This is an excellent idea. However, would it be possible to glow in a color that is not white? It makes ore veins look like snow patches, and I tend to avoid them rather than go to them and dig!
Phxntom47 21 Dec, 2013 @ 11:23pm 
Good Work! :)

extrremely helpfull

I haven't yet found ore that wasn't glowing but could be mined. I haven't really found myself believing that the glowy flowy blue-white liquid rock over there is snow. I HAVE done a lot more mining without crawling across every hillside, which makes me feel like I'm getting something out of my journeys where I don't fast travel. This mod adds a little more depth (usefulness?) to the scenery than I got when the ore spots looked more 'realistic'. One of my favorites, good job!

Some sort of options menu to change the glow color might be nice, maybe to refresh the glow for all ore spots, and perhaps make different ore types glow different colors might be nice. But, just being able to see where I could be mining is a big help.

Top!
Lord_Havoc 16 Aug, 2013 @ 10:17am 
Is there a command that you can use to cause the glow to refresh, to save you having to go in-out of an area?
XandreBlues 8 Aug, 2013 @ 5:12pm 
excellent mod, love it, but there are some instances/places where it doesn't work. Esp. on respawned ore. Once you've mined an area, the glow doesn't always return. In some places I've found ore that didn't glow at all. Leaving and then returning to the area would cause the glow to appear.
I find it useful and am not entirely sure if the issues I'm experiencing aren't caused by other mods. Awesome job. Thanks.
