📋 About This Mod
What it does:
This mod retextures the highland cows throughout Skyrim. It comes with a 4K texture and 2K normal map. Added new eyes, hide, horns and painting for the painted cows in game.i added an alpha map so i had to reduce/change the painting (looked weird anyway in vanilla), but at the same time it gave a smoother and look to the hide and added detail. Working on this one, was really tedious, cause it´s really hard to get rid of the seams due to bad meshes. Did my best, so i hope you like it.
