📋 About This Mod

 

A complete overhaul of all Imperial Forts related models with high quality textures and added parallax. This overhaul includes exteriors, interiors and metal structures.

All metallic surfaces use cubemap and many UV maps have been improved to ensure an overall high visual quality. Thanks to the parallax, all surfaces have acquired a real 3D aspect that gives them a depth never seen before.

This mod also fixes the Whiterun Watchtower LOD issue.

Note: All screenshots are made with parallax shader active, without it you will not have the same visual result.
