📋 About This Mod

Enhanced Rocks and Mountains – Fix and Addon

This mod complements Enhanced Rocks and Mountains by extending its visual quality to mines, caves, and a few specific assets that weren't covered by the original mod.

ERM Addon

ERM - No Vertex Colors

This Addon sets all vertex colors to pure white in order to reduce color conflicts with the game's shaders.

This helps avoid discoloration and grayed-out snow, for a more consistent overall look.

Wet meshes are not included, as they don't present any conflicts with vertex color shaders.

Exception: cave entrances keep their original vertex colors to preserve the natural darkening inside.

Mines and Caves

Replaces rock meshes in mines and caves with ERM versions.

- Corrected UVs (reduced parallax seams)

- Improved collisions

Full support for Icy Rocks Caves:

- Vanilla version

- Icy Cave Remaster V 3. 2. 0

- Skyrim Remastered

Ore Mines

- Meshes based on ERM to improve rendering, parallax, and blending

- Keeps the same 3D index to maintain compatibility with vanilla paths

ERM Fix

Skyforge

- Updated UVs

- Reworked collision

- Corrected footstep sounds

- Added a small dirt patch to mask the seam between the rock and the surrounding pavement (optional)
