📋 About This Mod
This is the first of a series of mods I'm planning to make in the near future.
Straight from the Heart Quality texture overhaul of Nordic Ruins, with some mesh (UV) tweaks, plus a new meshes and textures for a candles, a new textures for a canopic jars, urns, traps, linens, sconces, dragon statues and a correct LOD textures.

Almost all the bitmaps are in 2K, a few in 4K (it was a conscious decision).
The new candle meshes take full advantage of the ENB SSS effect, so, of course, they look best with ENB.
I don't want to bore you, see the images section for a more details :) Sorry, but all images right now are from the LE version.
LE (Oldrim) Version here :)
Installation:
Because I did a UV tweaks for a few meshes, changed a texture paths and have made a new mesh for a candles, install my mod after all the others, and during installation say yes to overwrite all the nif files.
For the best visuals use ENB and ELFX with Enhancer (Interiors).
A special thanks for Johnrose81, author of a Skyland series, for permission to use his assets. Finally I made my own, but really appreciate his kindness.
