better cathedrals

+++ please refer to my user profile about me page and follow my recommendations how to use my mods as an addition to nexusmods terms +++

this is a texture replacer mod for the vanilla tamriel cathedral textures. this replacer provides the look and feel of the original but with a definitely higher detail level as you can see in the pictures. to avoid problems with other texture replacer this zip file contains new textures plus optimized vanilla ones.

Additionally I added an optional zip-file with further optimized cathedral quarl-textures, which i personally use and perfectly fits to my mod. all credits for the basic textures of this package go to our mod legend quarl.

since V 1. 6 I added optional better res textures for awls - all credits to the awls team

AWLS must be installed!

Installation:

after performing your cathedral folder texture/mesh backup just put the files in the oblivion data folder. archive invalidation after installation is recommended.

do the same with the optional quarl package (only textures) and the optional AWLS package

be shure to make a backup of the cathedral-folder if you use already an ultra hd replacer for the cathedrals or if this replacement is not what you expected. you just need to copy your backup to switch back . nothing else is changed so i assume there is no potential for any further conflicts.

thanks to the teams of bethesda, the gimp, tes4edit, nifscope, quarl for his legendary texture pack and all authors with their free to use textures and you all giving me feedback and hints.

let me know if i forgot to put someone in the credit list.

I apprechiate your feedback and hope you like the mod. have fun playing oblivion!
