📋 About This Mod
The Karstaag skull wall (which houses the skull) looks awful. From the front the wall has some weirdo-UV going on, gaps and inconsistent vertex colouring. This mod addresses those issues, the vertex colouring is now more smooth and fits the environment, UV is better (not perfect by any means due to the fun topology) and closes the gaps. Should be compatible with everything.
