📋 About This Mod
Hi Stumbled upon this mod and really wanted to make my own version of it with updated textures and lighting for Community shaders.
All textures are upscaled from the original modders resource with improved normals and materials. I have also added a gilded metallic element to some aspects of the Frescoe for some material variety. Please let me know what you think of it.
I have also included a Light Placer JSON for bulbs to be applied to the lanterns added by the mod and colored the lighting subtyly to reflect the mosaic glass.
Anyways pictures should speak for the mod, thanks for readin
Thanks to Arduunos for the original mod and to SpartanSith118 for the updated version!
Thanks to CDProjektred for the original assets and allowing their usage for mod authors!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Tight integration with Community Shaders for a cohesive look
⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who use Community Shaders and want to boost Solitude's frescoes with PBR. If you're not on Community Shaders, skip this. If you're a texture junkie looking for that extra pop, this is a solid pick.
