📋 About This Mod
So I saw Treaboo's approach for this fix which adds only the sconce bases to the bridge via plugin, I figured I could add that same mesh to the actual sconce mesh (RiftenTempleOfMaraBowl01.nif), and so the next step for the best of both worlds would be making a Base Object Swapper version.
There are two versions of this mod, the mesh replacer only and the BOS version.
Mesh Replacer Version
Pro: No need for plugins.
Con: Any mod that uses RiftenTempleOfMaraBowl01.nif in other places will have the base attached and probably will look out of place.
Base Object Swapper Version
Pro: Maximum compatibilty with any other mod, since this will ONLY replace the two sconces outside the temple
Con: It comes with a plugin (ESPFE so no biggie)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No plugin needed, so it won't clutter your load order
- Fixes a visual inconsistency in Riften's temple
- Solid endorsement count (449) shows it's trusted by the community
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one sconce in one location — very niche
- Last updated in 2023, so may not be tested with the latest game version
- Requires the base mesh from wSkeever's fix, so you'll need to grab that separately
For Skyrim modders who care about small visual details and want Riften's temple to look right without extra plugins. Skip if you're not into mesh-level fixes or don't use the mentioned overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have wSkeever's base fix installed first, or this replacer won't work.
- If you use a mod manager, let it overwrite the original sconce mesh — no plugin means no load order worries.
- Check that your other mesh mods (like Major Cities Mesh Overhaul) don't overwrite this file; if they do, place this mod after them in your mod list.
