If you want to use another mod for some of the clothing, just install it after this mod and overwrite _________________________________________________________________________________________ Description:
I made this mod because some NPCs like the merchants, have very low resolution textures on their clothing. Every time you are in a shop you have to look at their clothing, nice to have something better to look at:)
in my opinion i have kept the feeling of the original textures. Textures are 2048 x 2048 (Original 512 x 512) so if you want to really see the difference, dont look at the clothes from afar but close up:)
May be a good idea to use the 4GB mod with these textures. ( there is a new patch from bethesda that fixes this issue)
These 512x512 textures HAVE been enhanced, in order of apperance:
- Wench/ Singer- Female
- All Regular Merchants
- Fine Clothes without pelt
- Male Innkeeper/ Barkeeper
- Female Innkeeper/Barkeeper
- Male and Female Fine Clothes with Pelt
- Male Wench
- Wedding Clothes
- All Farmclothes (also in seperate file)
- All Blacksmiths (also in seperate file)

- Beggar Clothes
- Chef
- Executioner-(check the screenshot!:))
