📋 About This Mod
A statue replacer for Talos. It has been made with fun in mind. So yep, it's maybe not very lore compatible, but anyway, it give a fresh view to change a bit of the old statue, until better :) Feel free to use.
Install/Uninstall :
There's no script, so it should be safe to install/uninstall during mid game.
There's a patch included, but it's just to adjust some objects positions (in Riften and Whiterun statue places).
The model comes from sketchfab.com, it's a true statue model of St. John the Baptist, https://skfb.ly/oHonU :
"Statue of St. John with book and lamb at the baroque Stations of the Cross in Heiligenkreuz. The sandstone figures there were made from 1731 onwards.
John the Baptist was a Jewish preacher of repentance who appeared in Galilee and Judea around 28 AD. He worked in Palestinian Judaism and also had followers in the Jewish Diaspora. John the Baptist is one of the most important saints of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. He is considered the last and greatest of the prophets, the Adventist forerunner of Jesus and the model of the ascetic."

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple asset replacement, you can install it manually by dropping files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 is safer for easy uninstallation.
- If you use other mods that alter the same model or texture, place this mod lower in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it replaces a specific item or adds a new one; if it's a replacer, you might want to back up the original files.
