📋 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 :')

For Skyrim players who want a quick, lore-friendly visual upgrade to the wooden spike barricades without overhauling the whole game. If you're a texture purist or building a Nordic-themed load order, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a complete texture pack.
