==================== 1. DESCRIPTION ===============
This mod replaces over 70 loading screens with the best suiting images I could find. Everything is wallpaper type material. Clean, high resolution screenshots with no HUD's or any text on screen. No skimpy imagery. The goal is maximum visual quality combined with lore.
The mod only replaces the .dds files without using an .esp therefore should be compatible with everything else.
