Hackle-Lo Fixed v1. 0a
A TES III:Morrowind Mod by Pherim
----------------------------
Description
-----------
With the new, Hi-Res textures being available for Morrowind, many of the old models revealed their bad uv mapping. One that stood out in particular to me was the hackle-lo plant mesh, or rather, the two meshes. This pluginless replacer contains the following corrections and additions:
- Improved uv mapping: leaves now look like leaves, no more texture seams and distortion on the stems
- Improved transparency on the hanging brown leaves: now double-sided at all times
- New stem texture made from a texture from cgtextures.com
- Modified leaf textures taken from Ultimate Textures Pack by grvulture, originally created by Ayse, Lord Gabryael, Qarl, Raptre, & Zuldazug for Morrowind Visual Pack
- Hanging brown leaves have been duplicated, translated, and rotated to achieve a more natural look
Fixed meshes for Graphic Herbalism are also included. They use the leaf parts of the original GH meshes.
For Graphic Herbalism - MWSE and OpenMW Edition (recommended) use the compatible meshes from its optional file "GH Patches and Replacers". Install this mod first and overwrite with the corresponding mesh(es). You don't need to install the meshes for the old "Graphic Herbalism" included in this mod!
Installation
------------
Copy the "meshes" and "textures" folders into your "... MorrowindData Files" folder. Overwrite existing files. No esp file needed!
To install the meshes for Graphic Herbalism, copy the "meshesgherb" folder in "Extras" into your "... MorrowindData Files" and overwrite existing files.
Uninstallation
--------------
Just remove the files "flora_hackle-lo_01.nif" and "flora_hackle-lo_02.nif" from your "... Data FilesMesheso" folder as well as "Tx_Hackle-lo_01.dds", "Tx_Hackle-lo_02.dds" and "Tx_Hackle-lo_03.dds" from your "... Data FilesTextures" folder. This will restore the original meshes and textures.
To remove the graphic herbalism meshes, remove "hackle-lo_01_P.nif" and "hackle-lo_02_P.nif" from your "... Data FilesMeshesgherb" folder and restore the original files from Graphic Herbalism.
This will conflict with any other mod that changes the meshes of the hackle-lo plant. These meshes are made to work with best with the textures included, but any other textures for hackle-lo shoult work fine, as long as Tx_Hackle-lo_01.dds is completely seamless, Tx_Hackle-lo_02.dds is seamless in horizontal and Tx_Hackle-lo_03.dds in vertical direction. This is especially important for Tx_Hackle-lo_03.dds, the leaf texture, which has the greatest changes made to its uv mapping and which is not seamless in the replacers I know. Just try how it looks with the textures you like to have.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,828 endorsements and over 130k downloads
- Fixes visual glitches on a common alchemy ingredient plant
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop and play
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or mods that alter the same plant
- Only affects hackle-lo, so if you're looking for broader visual overhauls, this is too niche
- No detailed changelog or screenshots provided, so you're trusting the author's word on the improvements
For Skyrim players who notice the hackle-lo plant looks off and want a quick fix without overhauling all flora. Also for mod collectors who appreciate polished vanilla assets. Skip if you want major visual changes or play with mods that already replace hackle-lo.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, make sure it loads after any mod that also edits hackle-lo to ensure the fix applies.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just install and enable—no extra steps needed.
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it overwrites vanilla meshes/textures; if so, you can manually back up the originals if you want to revert.
