📋 About This Mod
The files contained within replace the textures for the city of Vivec and the Velothi architecture. Changes in Version 2: ~All textures use a new mipmap formula with 5 mipmaps which should eliminate the noise problems (If you still have problems with noise, tell your kids to go to sleep.) ~New textures have been added, doors, signs, statues, fresco\'s, and a wall texture I missed in the first release. ~Fixed UV mapping for the canton ramps that lead to the level above. ~Fixed misaligned head and neck on ex_v_vivecstatue_01.nif.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple texture replacement that gives Vivec and Velothi buildings a new look
- Decent download count (4,573) shows some players found it useful
- Lightweight mod that doesn't add scripts or new meshes, so it's easy to install
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010, so it may not be compatible with modern Morrowind mod setups
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on what the textures actually look like
- Only covers Vivec and Velothi architecture, so other areas remain untouched
For Morrowind players who want to refresh the look of Vivec and Velothi buildings without overhauling the whole game. If you're a purist who likes the original textures, skip this. It's purely cosmetic, so don't expect gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original texture files before overwriting, so you can revert if you don't like the new look.
- If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install this as a separate mod to keep your Data folder clean.
- Check the mod's file structure after download to ensure the textures go into the correct 'Textures' folder in your Morrowind directory.
