📋 About This Mod

Makes existing sail material appear more detailed by introducing a higher thread count fabric with a high quality hand edited normal map. Along with color grading, added stitches, water stains, and other small details turning each sail into a work of art. Most files share the same footprint with no to low impact on performance. Original Animated Ships mod is required.
