📋 About This Mod
Cabal Presents
aMidianBorn Whiterun
Description
This mod contains a set of 170+ hand-crafted textures for the whole of Whiterun.
Features
-
[]Around 99% textures are from scratch (1% re-worked vanilla normal maps)
[
]No funny 'up-scaling' or vanilla over-layed texture work - Two resolution sizes for you to choose from
Compatibility
Not compatible with any other textures that have the same names. If you want to use
this mod fully, make sure you overwrite any other textures as needed. Works perfectly
with everything else!
Performance
I obviously recommend 2k for more higher-spec computers and 1k for medium to low-end
computers. There will be a smaller VRAM increase for the latter. You will have to check
each version out yourself to be 100% sure of performance though really.
Permissions
See the permissons tab at the top of the page. I do not allow this file to
be distributed outside of the Nexus sites.
Installation
I recommend using a mod manager like Mod Organizer or Nexus Mod Manager for both
installation and Uninstallation.
Recommendations
I truly like this mod to turn Whiterun into something pretty close to concept art. Have fun!
