📋 About This Mod
Update 2. 0 - All new stone textures and alpha maps among other changes. Regen LOD's. I will have an update shortly that will include new LOD's.
The long awaited Skyland Imperial Forts & Dungeons replaces all internal and external textures for the Imperial forts and dungeons found throughout Skyrim.
Created from a blend of photogrammetry and traditional texture artistry, Skyland Imperial Forts and Dungeons will transform your game with stunning 2k AAA textures.
In addition to the Imperial forts, the Stockade wood textures have also been replaced with the same techniques and care as the forts. These Stockades are found around forts in the form of wooden walls, platforms, walkways, and fences.

Compatibility:
Compatible with all mods except mods that texture the ruins. Ensure this mod overwrites and is below any of those mods in your load order. Ensure the meshes of this mod overwrite Ruins Clutter Improved.
NOTE:
There is a file included that fixes the vanilla Western Watchtower where the first dragon fight happens. Basically in vanilla, the top half is the ice version mesh and the bottom half is the moss version. I've fixed the top half to match the bottom half and fixed some navmesh issues there.
