Long Live The Plates - Retex Mod
For The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
by anarkhya
v1. 0 November 2015
openMW compatible, by essence.
ESPless mod retexturing the 8 misc_com_plates in a lore-friendly way.
These are the standard plates you can find on tables, benches and shelves. These textures are built upon real world material, from 8th to 16th century dishwares, I tried to stay close to the vanilla hues and values, in spirit, while making reasonable exceptions when the vanilla texture was clashing a bit, I'm thinking about the saturated blue one here. All the textures are 10241024px, compared to the 6464px vanilla ones, you can expect a real cosmetic boost, as for the performance I'm playing on a low end desktop machine and everything looks okay to me, performance wise.
The folder contains a readme with additionnal details about install/uninstall but since its basically a drag and drop mod it wont be long ;)

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might have issues with newer Morrowind versions or mod setups
