📋 About This Mod

Retexture of Markarth and Dwemer Ruins. Thanks to FrankFamily for giving me permission to use some of his awesome normal maps for stone carvings from Frankly HD Markarth (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/18050)

This mod also replaces the mountainslab01 and 02 textures from landscape/mountains...simply load your mountain textures after this mod if you don't want to use them.

Alternate accent colors for the stones if you're not into the green under optional files.
