📋 About This Mod
Description
A very simple mod that applies my custom 2K texture work to the vanilla ship models. The textures are darker and based on realistic traditional Baltic pine tar ship weatherproofing. Shiny rivets, weathering - boats have never looked so realistic!
More ship stuff...
Please also check out my custom vanilla ship replacer meshes over here. It's my hope that someone with more CK experience than this lowly modeller will implement these in-game. Some of my work here (such as my Bretic ship statics) has been used to add to the awesome project work going on at Beyond Skyrim - such as Atmora, Roscrea, Iliac Bay... I can't overstate how much fantastic work the community is doing over there and how they've helped me progress my skills.
Happy sailing!
