📋 About This Mod
This is a parallax addon with the goal of enhancing the existing beauty of Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins SE, by adding the illusion of depth and irregularity to the underlying models, and improving how light and shadow appear in these mysterious locations.
In addition to vanilla and rudy102's UV tweaked meshes, I included parallax enabled versions of some improved vanilla models.
Also includes matching parallax and other changes for Rudy HQ - Standing Stones SE
Thank you very much:

- Lightweight visual enhancement that doesn't overhaul the original design
- Directly improves immersion for players who already use Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins
⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who already use Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins and want extra depth in dungeon textures. Skip if you don't use the base mod or prefer full overhauls over subtle tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins SE is installed first, then drop this addon's files into your mod manager and enable it after the base mod.
- If you use an ENB, test in a Nordic ruin like Bleak Falls Barrow to ensure parallax doesn't cause shimmering or z-fighting.
- Load order matters: place this addon after the base mod in your mod list to ensure it overwrites correctly.
