📋 About This Mod

This didn't take long in photoshop, shadermap and nifskope to be honest but it's something which needed doing. The vanilla is very poor, only reason i never did it before is because in the quest the doors open and i never really noticed the texture anyway. But anyhow here is this 2K retexture.
