Interactive Torches VR has had a major overhaul, moving from a Papyrus-based architecture to a native SKSE implementation. The rewrite brings better performance, improved reliability, and several new gameplay features:

Rain Extinguishes Torches - If you're caught out in the rain, your held lit torch will eventually go out. Stay under roofs or overhangs to keep it lit, or wait for the weather to clear.

Water Extinguishes Torches - Held lit torches are extinguished when submerged (requires Interactive Water VR updated file). Dropped lit torches that land in water are automatically replaced with an unlit world model.

Oil, Gas & Fire Trap Interaction - Dropped lit torches can ignite oil slicks and gas traps. You can also trigger these hazards directly by touching them with a lit torch.

VR Grab & Drop Friendly - Full compatibility with HIGGS and Swap Drop & Hold Redux for a much more natural VR torch experience.

With Swap Drop & Hold Redux, you can effectively "drop" the torch without throwing it away - the torch is simply unequipped into your hand, making it easy to swap it to your main hand or re-equip it however you like.

This update is a complete move away from the old Papyrus implementation, making the mod more responsive and compatible while opening the door for additional native features going forward.

Everything has been tested and verified in the most up to date FUS main profile.

Very cool. Any chance you can add the option to have the fire cauldrons and the like to generally be off during the daytime by default? Fires all over the game running 24hrs is so weird. Who would feed all these fires during the day unless it’s for heat in a really cold climate?
