📋 About This Mod
I'm sure a lot of people have seen the Imperial City sign meshes glow after installing Mesh Improvement Project. I always thought they stuck out quite a bit, so I went into Nifskope and saw that the metal part of the mesh emits a brown glow. I don't know if this was intentional so the signs stood out or what, but I removed the color and thought they looked better.
I uploaded some edited sign meshes where I adjusted the UVs so you can't see the metal part in the textures (basically, check the images for what I mean). I thought this looked a lot better with MIP's meshes because they already have metal encasing the sign's textures. Do keep in mind that this all only applies to vanilla-style sign textures; the textures MIP optionally has are quite different and would be zoomed in a bit too much (check screenshots). I recommend VKVII's Imperial City texture mod. Also, the glow fixes are included as well so you only need to download one of the files.
All credits to InsanitySorrow for the original mod and meshes, all I did was change settings in Nifskope for the signs.
A small compatibility patch that fixes glowing Imperial City sign meshes when used with Mesh Improvement Project. Essential for players using that mod who notice broken signs. 277 endorsements and recent update indicate active maintenance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but vital fix—if you use MIP and see broken signs, this is your solution.
- Recently updated (Dec 2024), so it's not abandoned.
- Community-approved with 277 endorsements from fellow modders.
⚠️ Cons
- Only fixes Imperial City signs—don't expect broader mesh improvements.
- Requires Mesh Improvement Project as a base, so it's useless without it.
For Oblivion modders who run Mesh Improvement Project and notice the glowing signs in the Imperial City are broken. If you're not using MIP, skip this—it does nothing on its own.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Mesh Improvement Project is installed first, then overwrite its files with this patch.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM, install this after MIP to ensure proper load order.
- Check the Imperial City signs in-game after installation—if they still glow oddly, reinstall and verify file paths.
