📋 About This Mod
Just a quick retexture of the oaks. The textures now have a higher resolution (diffuse and normalmap), and a slightly darker appearance.
I did it for myself. Feel free to edit it :)
UPDATE: The issue with flickering textures should be solved now :)

Installation: Unzip and put it in your mods folder.
