📋 About This Mod
Leviathan Soulgems A mod by Star Boi What this mod adds: This mod replaces the meshes for greater, grand and common soulgems, the textures for petty and lesser soulgems and the meshes for all filled soulgems. The idea was to recreate the diversity of soulgems present in Morrowind in Oblivion. Thanks to Tarnsman, there are also particle effects attached to the filled soulgem meshes to make them even more magical and recognizeable. Tarnsman was also kind enough to create beautiful icons for these new soulgems so you will be able to tell which is which ingame as well. A test cell was created to view the new meshes in action. Ingame, open up the console and type coc TestEnchanted to travel there instantly. There is also an alternative mesh available for the Greater Soulgem. It replaces the metallic base with a more natural structure. This alternative is available in the Alternative Gems sub-folder and screenshots are available in the Screenshots sub-folder. The alternative textures and meshes can be dragged and dropped to replace the original ones. Installation: Extract the files to your Oblivion/Data folder, everything will go where it needs to.
