📋 About This Mod
Unspectacular small fix for an overlooked place: the Imperial Cult altar in Vivec (Foreign Quarter Canalworks) is replaced by a Velothi model.
-
[]The idea is to avoid the ugly vanilla style mix of the grey imperial altar architecture in a Vivec interior.
[
]The change is merely aesthetic: the Velothi altar is combined with the conventional imperial altar cloth.[]The shrine still has all the functions of an IC altar.
Credit
- []Tamriel Data includes a slightly edited Velothi altar mesh covered by a cloth. I just changed the texture of it to match an IC shrine, the credit for the original mesh edit naturally goes to the TR team.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mesh replacement, just drop the files into your Data Files folder and activate the esp in the Morrowind Launcher.
