📋 About This Mod

I dislike the bright and clean wooden texture of the wooden spikes all around skyrim. Many Modpacks apply darker tint around the world, so they look out of place.

I edited the base wrstockade_properwood.dds in exposure, brightness, saturation and contrast to make it a bit more nordic, old and darker.

SMIM is a requirement as its the base of this file.

Compatible with everything that does not alter the texture wrstockade_properwood.dds. If it does, let my mod overwrite it.

Screenshots are taken with ENB and several texture overhauls, so your look may vary.

If enough interest is here, I might make a few different versions.

If you use my mod, please add a screenshot if you can :)

Thanks for making this mod trending :')
