📋 About This Mod
WELCOME to the Arena of Awe good citizens of the Nexus!
You came for a retexture job, and a retexture job you SHALL have!
What fideleity we have for you TONIGHT!
DOWNLOOAAD THE MOD!
This is a full retexture of the Imperial Arena tileset, with completely remade textures in most cases along with AI upscaling of vanilla assets when that was sufficient. I have got rid of the absolutely terrible static blood river texture around the font of renewal completely. Not sure what Beth were thinking with that TBH.
I have also toned down the amount of blood a little bit, so it looks a little more believable.
The sizes are a mix of 1k/2k. Please see the screenshots to determine whether you like the changes.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture mod, make sure to place the files in your Oblivion Data folder or use a mod manager like OBMM to avoid overwriting conflicts.
- If you use other texture mods, load order matters—put this after any mods that affect the Arena to ensure its textures take priority.
- Check the mod's file structure after download to confirm it matches your game's directory—some texture mods require manual placement.
