📋 About This Mod
❃Isabella's Imperial Jail Bar Retexture❃
If you've noticed behind some of my replacers that there is an ugly low quality jail bar texture, you aren't the only one who noticed! I noticed and it bothers me to this day that my screenshots are tainted D: I couldn't find a retexture for the life of me, so I made one myself. I am not a texture person, I have absolutely no idea how to make them, so somehow this one Just Works ;) but it's not that great, so apologies for this not-so-great retexture. It is easier to ignore than the other one though. So here ya go! In case you're like me and can't find one, this one is for you.
❃Compatibility❃
It's just a texture replacer, so load it after anything that affects these jail bars to get this texture. Anything you load after it will replace this, so uh if you just want to be confusing you can always load a different texture on top of it, but it might not work out for ya XD
UPDATE I added a cubemap to the textures, thus why I added the vanilla door meshes to apply those cubemaps to(since I'm a noob modder and that's the only way I knew how to do that) so it may not work with mods that modify the meshes. I just wanted to make the door match the walls better :'( but if you just want the main texture and not the cubemap, go ahead and delete the vanilla meshes in this mod.
SMIM users: load this after SMIM and all should be well!
