📋 About This Mod
Small but vital adjustment to the fruit colors and brightness in the excellent mod Medieval Markets. In my setup the fruits would appear bright, to the point of glowing in the night, with the vanilla textures. This is probably very noticeable on full PBR setups.
To achieve more toned down fruit colors I reduced brightness (in particular highlights), and desaturated the diffuse maps. I also reduced the normal maps (I'm not sure if this was necessary - I'd love input on that!).
A small patch that tones down the overly bright fruit colors in the Medieval Markets mod, making them look more natural. For players who find the original fruits too vivid and want a subtle visual tweak. Simple and effective, with 140 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (140 endorsements) and a solid download count (33k+)
- Does exactly what it says: tones down the fruit colors for a more natural look
- Zero hassle install – just drop it in and go
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects fruit colors – if you wanted broader visual tweaks, this isn't it
- Requires the Medieval Markets mod to be installed, so it's useless without it
- Potential compatibility risk if Medieval Markets updates and changes fruit textures
For Skyrim players who love Medieval Markets but cringe at the neon-bright fruit. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just want a more grounded market scene, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're fine with the original colors or want more extensive changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Medieval Markets is installed first, then just drop this patch into your mod manager and activate it after the main mod.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order – this patch should load after Medieval Markets.
- Check the mod's images or comments to see if the color change is what you expect before committing.
