📋 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.

README. TXT
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.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 222 endorsements and over 72k downloads.
- Adds a nice thematic touch for roleplayers and lore enthusiasts.
- Simple and lightweight—no performance hit.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Wayshrine bowl—limited scope.
- No screenshots or detailed description provided by the author.
- Last updated in 2022—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or mods that alter shrines.
For Skyrim players who want a quick visual upgrade to shrines without overhauling the game. If you're a roleplayer or enjoy lore-friendly tweaks, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you use mods that already modify shrine appearances.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex.
- If you use other shrine mods, check load order to ensure GodStatues takes precedence if you want its look.
- Make sure you have the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch if you're on SSE, as it fixes many base game issues that could conflict.
