Torches Light Other Light Sources?

So, I've searched high and low for a mod that does what I'm about to suggest, but found no trace. That said, I do apologize if I missed it anywhere and would be grateful if anyone who knows of one could link it to me. Thanks! :)

 

I can't help but notice that while holding a torch, you're able to lower it, as if you were going to light something... That's just it. You can't light anything. Unlit candles and braziers are useless, just sitting around, unable to be lit by a torch, even if the brazier looks as though it still has embers and enough fire source to be relit and made useful again.

 

If it's within anyone's modding ability, I think it would make an amazing mod, especially for dungeon exploring. Imagine it; You're in a super dark room, but there are some unlit light sources around... Equip your torch and walk over to the light sources, lighting each one until the room is fully lit; without you having to carry around the torch the entire time you're exploring the room.

 

I dunno, it's just a thought. I guess it would only really matter to those of us who have mods that make the lighting realistic, thus making dungeons and such quite dark... but I still think it'd be an awesome idea, and help bring about a bit more immersion and realism. :)

 

 

Thanks for reading!

I've seen something like used in the Conan Hyborian Age mod, I'm pretty sure it's localized to those specific dungeons though. Someone might be able to isolate that part of it or something though. If you've come across unlit embers, a mod like Enhanced Lights and FX might fix those spots?

I'm already using Enhanced Lights and FX at the moment. I've also used Realistic Lighting Overhaul. It isn't something that's meant to be fixed (at least, in my opinion) so much as I feel it'd be best to be interactive. :)

 

Also, as a side note... If torches could burn spider web barricades that'd be pretty cool too. I usually only carry a bow on me, and it never made sense (even though it works in game) that a bow could magically shred a hole large enough to walk through through the web. xD

I was thinking about trying my hand at this, but I came across this other mod which seems to be pretty much what you are wanting. I think it currently only works for camp fires, but he may expand it in versions to come.

 

If you follow the link to the Steam Workshop, he has some videos of the mod in action and more information.

Sounds like they certainly have it planned, judging by the mention on the steam workshop page. :)

 

In the meantime, if anyone plans on making this (just in case the other person doesn't go through with adding more detail to theirs) please be my guest. n.n

Could steal the script that has Esbern light a few braziers in Sky Haven Temple. If it needed to be a particular kind of brazier you could have the mod replace all existing ones in the game with yours (change the base object for other braziers to your special brazier)
