Notes
This mod can be used alongside the Colour Collection mod for the Old World church variations. However, do note that if you already have the Colour Collection mod installed, the insertion of these new variations into the building variation list means that the appearance of some of your buildings may shift (use Shift+V to restore their appearance).
This mod includes all necessary texture sizes & LODs to best optimize your experience!
This mod should be save-game safe, with the variations reverting to their default forms if the mod is removed.
Thanks to Jakob and Ac3s for troubleshooting, and to Robin for playtesting and the photos.
Enjoy!
