📋 About This Mod

Ancient Dwemer Metal - Spider Gem Restored

Ancient Dwemer Metal, with its extensive patch support, is a pretty definitive replacer if you're a stickler for consistency like me. I took one small issue with the mod's automatons, though; the centurion spider's red "eye" gem is completely painted over by the mod's metal texture!

This (admittedly very minor and nitpick-y) texture edit restores the poor spider's eye, with some appropriate detail and color tweaks to remain consistent with the mod's style.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A small cosmetic mod that restores the red 'eye' gem on Dwarven Spiders, which the Ancient Dwemer Metal texture overhaul paints over. For Skyrim players using Ancient Dwemer Metal who want the original red gem back. 585 endorsements and 635,161 downloads show solid community support.
