📋 About This Mod
Professionally designed artworks for places in Dawnstar, Falkreath, Morthal and Winterhold.
This mod replaces the classical art in Paintings for Cities with custom fantasy-themed artwork, using screenshots, digital manipulation, AI, and hand painting. It's designed to be game-fitting and cohesive, with textures mimicking oil on canvas, tapestry, and egg tempera. Compatible with the author's other painting mods, it requires a specific load order for interior and lighting mods.
