📋 About This Mod

FAQ

Does this mod fill up a .esp slot?

No, it replaces the meshes/textures only while supplying its own texture paths for the changed models so as not to conflict with any other mods for any new textures

Where should this be placed in my load order?

Above any other mods - textures for Nif models will not interfere with any other textures as they have their own private directory

What ENB are you using?

Rudy ENB and I heavily recommend Quality cubemaps as It heavily improves the metal's reflections

What are Optimised versions?

Optimised versions have ½ res normal maps, ½ res roughness maps and ¼ res parallax maps (if parallax maps are included)

Texture/Nif making process

Textures have to be converted from PBR to the Skyrim Engine (Gamebryo) using my own custom method if you have any questions or queries about how this then feel free to message me about your question(s).
