Polar bear mesh replacement mod for Skyrim's ice bears

Description:

True bears of the North is a mesh replacer mod for the ice bears, in an attempt to make them look more like the polar bears of the real world.  The original ice bear was meant to be a polar bear, and they had even named the textures accordingly, but it seems that either the bears were too rushed, or the dev team was lazy, so this is probably closer to their original idea.  Note that it isn't the exact shape of a polar bear, as I had to follow along the original skeleton when I was making the mesh.



Installation:
To install, you can just use the Nexus Mod Manager, or simply drag and
drop the file folder into your main Skyrim folder.  This is a BSA
modification, so make sure to enable the .esp if you want to see it in
the game. 


Bugs:
The textures and meshes in this mod are not perfect.  I think that they are
better than the vanilla meshes, but they don't achieve a super great
deal of realism, and you will find minor errors in them.  These will not
be compatible with any mod that uses custom bear meshes and textures, as
this was meant just to replace the vanilla bears in-game.  If you do
have a bear companion mod, or animal taming mod that does use the default
meshes, it should be compatible.

Special Thanks:
I want
to thank sarcasticshark again for helping me to realize that my warped meshes were actually a glitch in my nif plugin, and once I downloaded a new version of the plugin, I was able to make them perfect and playable for Skyrim!  He has also given me much help with my fox mod as well.  This might not have been possible without his help.  :)
THANK YOU!
