📋 About This Mod
A simple smoothing of both the storm atronach models (the usual storm one and the ash one from solstheim).
Did some small UV fixes on the solstheim model too. The textures on both of them are still quite stretchy as their animations make them twist and bend quite a bit, I recommend using the storm textures from Iconic's Frost - Flame - Storm Atronach Retexture to alleviate it a bit.
Compatible with everything in my LO, it's only a mesh replacer. Works with all retextures that don't replace the models. And probably works with those too but not necessarily as intended. Works with all skeletons and animation mods. The glow animation on the storm model works fine.
Check out my Subdivide and Smooth - Frost Atronachs too while you're at it, imo the frosty boys needed the TLC a bit more anyway.

A simple mesh smoothing mod for both the standard storm atronach and the ash atronach from Solstheim, with minor UV fixes on the latter. It's a pure mesh replacer, compatible with most retextures and animation mods, and works with the glow animation. Recommended for players who want slightly cleaner atronach models without changing textures.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community reception with 163 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- Lightweight mesh-only mod that won't conflict with most setups
- Author recommends pairing with Iconic's retexture for better texture stretching
⚠️ Cons
- Textures can still look stretched due to the atronachs' twisting animations
- May not work as intended with retextures that replace the models
- Only affects two models, so it's a minor visual tweak rather than a major overhaul
For Skyrim modders who want slightly smoother atronach models without changing textures or gameplay. If you're already using a retexture that replaces models, this might conflict, so check compatibility first. Skip if you're looking for more substantial visual changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and easily uninstall if needed
- If you use a retexture that replaces the atronach models, test in-game to ensure it works as intended
- Pair with Iconic's Frost - Flame - Storm Atronach Retexture to reduce texture stretching
