📋 About This Mod

This is not a texture replacer for someones dirty underwear but a texture replacer for the ditch dragons make when they crash. Vanilla had an ugly low-rez map for this. This is it's replacement in 1K-2K. Have not heard of anyone replacing this texture. But now someone has. Finally!

Optional! Added replacement texture for dragons footprint. Download NOW!!!

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place this mod early in your load order (or let your mod manager handle it) to ensure other texture mods don't overwrite it.
