High Resolution Texture Replacer for glass set

As usual, everything has been redone from scratch.

Same resolution as the official high-res DLC textures

This work should be compatible with pretty much everything, including remodeled mesh versions (for various body replacers) and mods using parts of the set.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS Standalone Plugins by Modd3r: A) aMidianBorn Glass_Variants - this plugin add to the game 2 new armors: the Thalmor Glass Armor and the Steel Glass Armor. They are 2 glass armors using the MWV and Thalmorized textures, they are obtainables in many ways. The default glass armor uses the Golden Glass textures. B) aMidianBorn Glass_Variants_LORE (honestly my personal choice ndCabal) - this is exactly the same as above (it adds 2 new armors obtainables in many ways) but with only one big difference: the crafting of the 2 new armors has RACE REQUIREMENT: The Steel Glass is craftable only by Nords. The Thalmor Glass is craftable only by High Elves.

Installation: extract the archive in Skyrim MAIN folder, then activate the .esp with Skyrim Launcher.

WARNING
USE ONLY ONE PLUGIN!
Forgeable sets from A and B may have compatibility issues because they use their own meshes...

Here u can find a patch for unp bodies: Glass Variants UNP Patch huge thanks to Gambit77

for following textures replacer simply use NMM or extract the archive in Skyrim's DATA folder:

C) aMidianborn_glass_golden: simple replacer without any esp uses yellow/golden textures...in line with vanilla style

D) aMidianborn_glass_MWV: simple replacer ,without any esp file, in morrowind style glass...malachite is more green and dark

E) aMidianBorn _glass_thalmorized: simple replacer ,without any esp file, in line with dark thalmor style

Choose the package you prefer! Wrye bash users should update the bashed patch in case of "variants" package. The other should try to keep the esp near the end of load order.

Little FAQ by Modd3r: 1) How do I install the plugins? M: it's easy, you have to extract the archive inside Skyrim MAIN folder. (The archive contains the folder "data
