📋 About This Mod
A simple hay pile replacer with reasonably high poly hay and better pelt textures. Sleep tight, don't let the hay mites bite!
✦ COMPATIBILITY ✦
Should be compatible with everything? No other bedrollhay01.nif replacers out there AFAIK.
All versions require textures from Peltapalooza, specifically the pelt04, pelt05 and pelt06 diffuse and normal maps.
✦ PATCHES ✦
A Use Those Blankets patch is available that gives cozy fur blankets to yourself and sleeping NPCs, it works with both the mesh replacer and BOS Color Variance versions. It requires Base Object Swapper, even with just the mesh replacer version since the original Use Those Blankets doesn't cover hay piles.
Parallax options require parallax textures from Peltapalooza - Complex Parallax Occlusion. There’s no Use Those Blankets parallax patch because parallax gets janky with steeply curved meshes like the blankets.
There's a Fluffy Hanging and Floor Pelts patch for the mesh replacer version but not BOS Color Variance because that mod doesn't cover the other two Peltapalooza textures.
Dunno what other patches might be necessary, If you need one just ask :)
