📋 About This Mod

This mod replaces the meshes and textures of the Fire Fern plant and Fire Petal ingredient with completely new, more detailed ones. A new icon for the fire petal is also included, as well as meshes without petals for the old Graphic Herbalism mod.

Graphic Herbalism - MWSE and OpenMW Edition (recommended) includes compatible meshes from its optional file "GH Patches and Replacers". However, these have issues resulting in dark spots on the leaves. Apparently the mod is no longer updated, so I uploaded fixed versions here as an optional file. Install this mod first, then Graphic Herbalism, and overwrite that with the fixed meshes. You don't need to install the meshes for the old "Graphic Herbalism" included in this mod!

Now with three different texture variants: Default Red, Extra Fiery, and Vanilla Colors.
