📋 About This Mod
About
I love Saerileth's mod, Barenziah's Glory. And I love FiendishGhoul's modded version of that mod, Barenziah's Glowing. In particular, I loved the new colors that FiendishGhoul made for the stones. In fact, I loved them so much that I couldn't choose which one to use. So I altered the crown mesh so that I could choose a different color for each stone. Yay rainbow crown!
Of course that left the problem of how to get the 24 multi-colored stones into the world (because the 24 'unusual gems' are technically one form & you can't have different versions of the same form). So I made the 'Unusual Gem' activator into a table and placed a static version of the different color stones on top (6 different colors, 4 of each). You can pick up the stone by activating the table it's sitting on.
So now (if using the default options) you will find blue gems, green gems, orange gems, red gems, purple gems and yellow gems. I think it definitely makes finding the stones more interesting!
And now FiendishGhoul, Saerileth and Gamwich have kindly given me permission to share my adaptation of their wonderful mods. I am forever grateful to you all.
The crown and stones are available in various different combinations:
Different colors
Default (rainbow) edition:
This adds blue, green, orange, red, purple and yellow stones to the world and to the crown. I love rainbows. But I know this won't be everyone's thing, which is why I made two alternative editions.
Inner Sea edition:
Channel the inner sea god/goddess/horker/slaughterfish within, with this sea-themed crown and stones. This optional file replaces the default rainbow textures with a crown and stones in purples, blues and greens.
Red Mountain edition:
Harness your inner flame atronach with this volcanic eruption of reds, oranges and yellows, replacing the default rainbow textures.
Different gem arrangements
Default (symmetrical):
The two sides of the crown will match.
Asymmetrical:
The two sides of the crown will be different (same colors used, but in different positions in the crown). Works with any of the color editions above.
The 25th Stone
Where DID that 25th stone come from? There are 25 slots but only 24 to collect! I also modified Saerileth's empty crown model so that it now contains a single stone (like the USLEEP fix, but with Saerileth's/FiendishGhoul's beautiful gem models & textures).
This mod adds multi-colored models and textures for the Unusual Gems and the Crown of Barenziah, replacing the default look with a rainbow palette. It requires the mods Barenziah's Glory and Barenziah's Glowing to work. A niche cosmetic enhancement for Skyrim players who want more visual variety in their gem collection.
