High quality vanilla Nocturnal's Birds replacer, featuring a new detailed model, 4k textures and 2k normal maps. With this mod, your encounter with the Mistress of Darkness will be unforgettable for reasons beyond her cleavage.
This mod offers a new highly detailed model, 4k texture and 2k normal maps for vanilla Nocturnal's Birds, originally released in an extreme low quality model and using bugged textures and normal maps with a very low resolution as well, respectively of 256 x 512 for texture, and 128 x 256 for normal maps, making the birds ugly, dated and blurry (as seen in the comparative images in this description). Due to the poor quality of the model, a detailed re-texture of it was never possible, so I decided not only to bring a new texture, but also to make a completely new model, adapted to the current Skyrim modding standards. This mod not only stays true to the original concept, but makes the Nocturnal's Birds appearance even better embedded in the overall Skyrim setting. The mod is completely .esp free, so just install the model and texture, and finally enjoy high quality Nocturnal's avians in your game.

This mod replaces Nocturnal's birds in Skyrim with a new detailed model and high-quality textures, enhancing the visual encounter with the Mistress of Darkness. It is ESP-free, making it a lightweight and compatible addition for players seeking improved creature visuals.
