📋 About This Mod
Whilst going through the classic Static Mesh Improvement Mod I noticed some meshes appeared to have issues with their topology. They showed telltale signs of subdivision of triangles without first converting to quadrangles. There were other small issues – a bread mesh replacement moved it away from its original spot, the apples were looking a bit jagged. This mod improves topology and covers just a few more meshes to better their appearances.
