📋 About This Mod

Basically replaces the wayshrines with statues.

Because of how I did this, it should not cause conflicts unless another mod directly used those old wayshrines as dependencies.

Short and sweet

GodStatues.esp

use if you don't have KOTN

GodStatues KOTN Edition.esp

Use if you do have KOTN (fixes the prayer idle animation, nothing else)

I consider this complete. I have not tested however, so use at your own risk. Contact me if you find a problem, I may or may not fix it.

Known issues:

None at this time.

Both versions

Anything that depends on the old wayshrines being there will be broken.

KOTN Edition

Anything that depends on the old prayers linking to the old wayshrines will be broken.

I tested it and you didn't need copies of the base textures and meshes, so they are not included.
