📋 About This Mod
I thought I could share my new main menu with you. It just represents my own taste of how it should look and sound like. I recently discovered a mod which replaces the texture and music too and I thought Malukah's song fits perfectly for the main menu! So I replaced the texture with a semi-lore friendly picture of mountains (I like that a lot!), added a dragon from a screenshot of my Skyrim game and mixed the wind sound loops from the original Skyrim game with the music from Malukah. If you like this mod, feel free to endorse ;)

This mod replaces Skyrim's main menu background with a mountain and dragon texture and swaps the music to Malukah's 'The Dragonborn Comes,' with wind loops from the original game added for atmosphere. It's a simple, nostalgic cosmetic overhaul for players who want a different menu vibe.
