📋 About This Mod
What does this mod do?
This mod makes ashy roads use the landscape ash texture, letting the area look more natural.
Works very well with: - More Snow on the Road - More Dirt on the Road And: - Roads of Solstheim
Introduction:
Solstheim is quite a dusty place and now Raven Rock´s road reflects that. I tryed to make the road more covered in ash, immersing a harsher desert environment.
This mod does not contain a texture replacer, it makes use of the already installed ash texture. That means your dry ash landscape texture from another mod will now also show up on roads! (I left the _n.dds normal map alone to keep the 3D rocks look.)
Video Demonstration: Here is a great Video by NOZI87, demonstrating the concept of the "More Nature on the Road" series. fvLUnDgj-oc Thank you, NOZI87, for this nice video :)
Requirements: The Dragonborn DLC is needed, as my mod changes the Solstheim road texture set code.
Compatibility: Thanks to Ablaze666 for testing! - This mod should be loaded after Project Parallax or the new texture will not appear. (Same texture set edits.) - Compatible with everything else. (If not, let me know.)
Bugs: - Footprints do not show on the roads. That´s not really a bug because footprints never did work on roads. But it does make sense to enable them now that there is more ash on the road...
This small landscape mod replaces the road ash texture with the landscape ash texture, making ashy roads blend more naturally with the environment. It's a simple cosmetic tweak for players who want a more cohesive look in ash-covered areas. With 192 endorsements and last updated in 2014, it's a niche but appreciated fix.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 192 endorsements, so it's a trusted tweak.
- Does exactly what it says: makes ashy roads look more natural.
- Tiny download and easy to install, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so it may not be compatible with newer game versions.
- Only affects ash textures on roads—if you wanted more variety, this isn't it.
For players who notice the jarring difference between road ash and landscape ash and want a quick fix. If you're a purist who wants every texture to blend seamlessly, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for major overhauls or new content.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable in the launcher.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can install it manually or through the manager—either works.
- Check if the mod is compatible with your game version, as it's old and might need a compatibility patch.
