📋 About This Mod

Higher-poly bandit poles and small fixes

As I've been getting into blender recently I've started to go through some assets in game that could use a little polying. This time around bandit poles get to lighten up as I found the vanilla models a bit dull, jagged and with some weird properties to them.

SAS - Bandit Poles essentially makes the poles found in dens, dungeons and bandit-infested areas higher in quality, tightens their UV (though a seam appears), fixes some minor material properties, removes illogical objects from some of the meshes and lightens up vertex colouring on the meshes it makes sense. See pictures for more.

Mod includes seven meshes that make up the bandit poles.

Not-contents:

Mod doesn't include textures so it'll blend with your LO but doesn't necessarily look like the pictures provided here. On some texture sets the poles may tile a little. No ESP required.

A patch for Skeleton Replacer HD is available and highly recommended, as well as Less Shiny Bloody Bones - Skeleton Replacer HD in case you fancy that look. Thank you PraedythXVI for open permission and top-notch mods and GroundAura for the less shiny version! These patches resolve conflicts between the three meshes conflicts appear on. I am not aware of another mod that touches these meshes.

As with any other mesh replacer. In and out as you wish, can install/uninstall at any point of your save. If you want to check out how it looks on your setup, make a new test-save and type "coc Darkshade01" in your console to teleport into a small cave with quite a few of these poles, yet they appear on multiple instances such as "coc HobsFallCave01" etc. Also type "tgm" in the console if you're on a test save, just so trolls or magicians wont smokeroll your level 1 male nord named Asdf.
