Retextures Snow Elf Ruins and clutter. Choose between oxidized or clean version

SNOW ELF RUINS RETEXTURE SE

" Auriel, Auri-El, Alkosh, Akatosh... so many different names for the sovereign of the snow elves. "

This new retexture covers all the snow elf ruins, clutter and statues. This also includes the statue from the Thieves guild questline. It covers the metal and also the various stone textures.

Vanilla textures seem like oxidized bronze. Where the metal is dark brown with lots of green "rust" on top. When making my retexture, I was hesitating between making a dirty/oxidized look or a clean one. I could not make up my mind so I decided to do both! The mod page will include both versions, as separate downloads. You will be able to choose the one you like most.

This retexture only includes meshes for the statues and one of the shrine meshes. Those meshes are the only snow elf items not using cubemap reflections, in vanilla. For this reason, I have opted to include meshes that add the same cubemap as the rest of the meshes. If you use statue replacers, simply load them after my retexture.

Everything else is textures only, so it should work with any mod that also works with vanilla textures.

CHOOSE BETWEEN OXIDIZED OR CLEAN TEXTURES!
