Included in the FOMOD is the option to use a set of custom Northern Roads architecture, clutter, stonewall and bridge meshes that will use your own installed textures where possible, and retain custom textures where it is not. The custom meshes also come with many fixes to improve lighting, blending and texture UV maps.
If you have Base Object Swapper, there will be distribution of bridge, clutter and architecture variants among the different regions of Skyrim.
