📋 About This Mod
Hey everyone!
As y'all know, I'm currently working on some new Diverse Mods (Diverse Hunter's Camps and Diverse...??? (I'll tell you all soon ;)) but, in the meantime, here's a small mesh fix for a model that bugs me in Vanilla: nails.
As it's a mesh and texture replacer, you can install or uninstall the mod at any time without any ill effects on your save. Enjoy!
Some of my other mods:
slightly Better Honey in a Jar A mesh replacer for Skyrim's Honey Pots. BOS supported.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 650 endorsements and over 357k downloads.
- Recently updated (August 2024) so likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
- Zero-risk install/uninstall—no save bloat or conflicts.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description—you're flying blind on the visual change.
- Only affects Hearthfire nails—if you don't build houses, this mod does nothing for you.
- No compatibility notes for other nail mods or texture overhauls—potential conflicts if you use those.
For Skyrim players who build Hearthfire houses and want a subtle visual upgrade to the nails. Skip if you never touch Hearthfire or prefer larger texture overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you use a mod manager, enable it after other texture mods to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Test in a house you've built to see the change immediately—no need to start a new game.
