📋 About This Mod
Replaces five common chests with completely new models and PBR textures (collapsible PBR)
Sorry for anyone that downloaded the first two chests I uploaded as I was originally only making one but Morrowind sucked me back in like a cheap...
Unzip the file and place it in your Morrowind directory. Done.
If you want to revert back to vanilla, simply remove the new meshes from the Morrowind/Data Files/Meshes/o directory and restart the game.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Decent community support for a niche mod (76 endorsements).
- Lightweight and simple — no complex dependencies.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may be outdated for current game patches.
- Only affects five chests, so visual impact is limited.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual placement — the description doesn't specify, so look for a readme or folder structure.
- Since it's from 2020, test it in a save before committing — it might conflict with other texture mods.
- If you're on a mod manager, enable it and see if the chests appear correctly in-game.
