Deadly Nightshades - A Cathedral 3D Nightshade Recolor Set

A collection of recolors inspired by actual nightshade species, the famous "Mari's Nightshade," and my own personal preference.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Make sure this mod loads below "Cathedral 3D Nightshade" in MO2.

2. Go inside this mod's textures->plants folder and rename your favorite recolor "Nightshade.dds".

NEW: A BOS Version with 10 different color variants was made by Peer!

An edit of Dr. Jacopo's 3D Nightshade to resemble Mari's Burgundy Nightshade already exists, but personally I prefer her "bright" texture, as it's closer to vanilla. But Dr. Jacopo's models are all accurate replicas of real plants, so I wondered - what's a Solanum, anyway?

Two days and hours on botany websites later...

Dr. Jacopo's 3D Nightshade is based the Solanum genus, specifically Solanum dulcamara (I think.) This species is common across the US and Canada. But it's not actually closely related to the infamous "Belladonna" at all!

This led to a Belladonna recolor, which led to Tobaco Gordo, and then back to Solanum for Silverleaf and Bluewitch recolors,  then Black, White, and Douglas. Of all the species listed, Tobaco Gordo is actually the closest relative to Belladonna! It shares the Atropa genus. Of course, most of these have different-looking flowers, but I'm dipping my toes in the water here and am not stellar at stuff from scratch. I might try and make the unique petals and stamens later on. I took a peek at base object swapper and when I'm no longer terrified of the CK, I might make the species into regional variants alongside the original.

And then I made the "Mari's bright" imitation (ya know, like I set out to do) and figured... go big or go home, right? So there's versions that... kinda resemble all of Mari's original color options (bright, burgundy, gold, blue, dark) and an additional texture that I just thought Looked Nice.

It's in the same family, but so are tomatoes. And potatoes. And tobacco. NIGHTSHADES!
