📋 About This Mod
This is a set of ten textures for Custom Textures. Download any of the zip files and place the png in your BepInEx\plugins\CustomTextures folder. Or, just install them with Vortex and enable which one you want.
You can only choose one at a time, and it replaces the sails for both ship types.
If you want to have separate sails for each ship type, rename the files to:
objectrenderer_Karve_sail_full_MainTex.png
and
objectrenderer_VikingShip_sail_full_MainTex.png
See Custom Textures mod for more information on using these textures.
Disclaimer: I know very little about Norse culture, this is just some fun. I understand sometimes Norse cultural symbols are used by people who promote hate and this is in no way meant to encourage that. Don't use these for hateful purposes, I forbid it. Get help.
