📋 About This Mod
This is a retexture of about 90 to 95% of the signs in the signs folder. The texture sizes are now 1024x1024,512x512 and 1024x256 for the city signs. I only did one sign in Leyawiin. A uninstall list is included in the read me. Version History --------------- 1. 0 - Initial release 1. 1 - Added ImprovedSignsUpdate file. In this update several of the original signs have been reworked or totally redone. I have added seven signs that I did not do from the original release. I do not plan on redoing: A Warlocks Luck,Five Claws Lodge,Tamika Vineyards and Surilie Brothers Vineyard. They are higher resolution textures than the other vanilla signs. Blackwood Company Hall is the only sign left in the signs folder ,that I have not redone. 1. 2 - Added ImprovedSignsUpdate2 & ImprovedSignsComplete files. ImprovedSignsUpdate2 is reworked signs from the previous 2 sets & added Blackwood Company Hall sign. ImprovedSignsComplete is all the signs I have done to date,so you do not have to download three separate files. I have included an optional plugin which adds a new sign to North Country Stables & Border Watch Inn.
