📋 About This Mod
Very small mod. Simply uses a texture set of the Riften stone and applies that to the static meshes using only an esp (flagged esl). Makes the buildings feel more "Riften"y or something and gives them a bit of a difference when using COTN Falkreath.
Extremely compatible, does not edit any placed objects.
Includes patch for Thuldor's Ivarstead - Farmhouse Roofs
