📋 About This Mod

Special thanks to all my Patrons and supporters, you are awesome!

Texture and mesh replacer for Torchbugs, Blissbugs (require CC - Saints&Seducers) and Jars (1K Resolution).

Ingredients will use the new textures.

The meshes have been modified to a reasonable degree, so there´s little to no performance impact.

While i was at it, i fixed the purple glass on Vanilla Jars (see last image) :)

Available versions in the FOMOD

- Vanilla Light / ENB Light

- 2 wings / 4 wings

- Sparkle / Default

- Vanilla Jars / TMD Jars (TMD mod required)

These changes have been made

- Subdivided just the body.

- Slimmer shape of the wings

- Antennae have been moved closer to the foremost part of the head (to better match RL images)

- Decided to add a second pair of animated wings (instead of carapaces). 25% smaller than main wings

(see images)

- includes fixed collision and wing position by wiseman303

Vanilla Torchbug Tris: 1270

My Torchbug Tris: 1714 (2 wings) - 1724 (4 wings)

If you want to keep it completely vanilla, check my older Butterfly replacer which

includes a vanilla version of the Torchbug.

But since there are various butterfly replacers by now, i decided to make the

high poly version of the Torchbug a separate mod

Screenshots are welcome and appreciated :)

Download with your preferred mod manager, install and overwrite when promted

Disable/uninstall the mod from your manager or remove the files from your Skyrim directory

Since this replacer has new meshes and textures, it is not compatible

with other Torchbug replacers or modifiers. It has to be loaded after conflicting mods.

Special thanks to StoneSpiralGaming for making the sparkling version.

Kittytail for the initial idea and the tutorial

TobesTobelle and Janissaries for testing

wiseman303 for their awesome critter fixes
