LATEST UPDATES -

4. 30 - Added the file "Dragon Models Modernized And Redesigned 50% Chance".

This standalone file (incompatible with the other main files) makes it so all the basic dragon NPCs (NOT important characters like Alduin, Paarthurnax, Odahviing or Durnehviir, which AREN'T included in this pack) have a 50% chance of spawning using theese skins (they will use vanilla or your other replacer 50% of the time).

It's compatible with dragon combat mods and still doesn't have any requirement other than the base game.

• []All meshes updated: Slightly different proportions and small stylistic changes in the main mesh. They still make use the vanilla/default UVs; so they can be retextured with vanilla like textures if you know how to.[/]

  []Remade eye balls and eye textures.[/]

  []Some clipping in the orbits in a couple models have been fixed.[/]

  []Added new details: Like new horns, orbital and nassal bosses, spikey beards, osteoderms in the tail, fins (in some dragons), etc. The assets are edited from the ones made for Next Gen Dragons; but edited and heavily optimized.[/]

  []The dragons finally dissolve correctly when bursting in flames after killing them, something that has been bugged since the first release almost two years ago. [/]

  []Some other design changes; They are less robust than before , and paarthurnax and legendary dragons have vanilla like color patterns. [/]

  In 2026, the original dragons present in the game can look a bit dated, with low polycounts and low resolution textures.

  This mod is a mesh and texture replacer. It will make the dragons higher quality (more than 6x the polycount; which increased from 16. 000 to slightly over 100. 000, and 4x the texture size) and fit in a heavily modded or grahically updated game. Consider that the polyco
