📋 About This Mod
This is a HD texture replacer for highland cows.
Another Retexture mod that replaces highland cows and cowhide.
High res textures are 4x the original resolution.
Black version optional, mainfile is required.
When I saw the original textures for the first time I was really scared how bad they looked.
The eyes were just little black perls, the fur was just ugly and without any detail.
So I decided to make the cows look more realistic and more like real cows.
I used a lot of pictures and photography of scottish highland cattles to create this mod and get as close as possible to a realistic looking texture.
Install into \"skyrim/data/\" folder or use NMM.
Do not upload it elsewhere.
Cheers!
