📋 About This Mod
Arc's Mead Barrel redux is a remesh and texture overhaul for Skyrim's Mead Barrel. Improving the quality and visual style of vanillas, while also staying true to the intended look of the Mead Barrel. This mod contains no esp, and features a high quality, and ornate redesign as part of my Redux project in which I aim to redesign many of Skyrim's clutter, creatures and environments to a modern standard while keeping in mind performance and optimization.
Arc's MeadBarrel Redux is a remesh and 4K texture overhaul for Skyrim's barrel, replacing the default model with a more detailed one. It requires no ESP, making it a lightweight visual upgrade for players who want improved barrel aesthetics. With over 1,000 endorsements and 710k downloads, it's a popular choice for texture enthusiasts.

- No ESP means it won't bloat your load order or cause conflicts

⚠️ Cons

- 4K textures can be heavy on VRAM for lower-end systems

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since there's no ESP, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod and let it overwrite the vanilla barrel texture; check the mod's preview in the manager to see the difference.
- For better performance, consider using a texture optimizer like Cathedral Assets Optimizer to downscale the 4K textures to 2K if needed.
