Yeah the author hasn't been active for over a decade. Guess that's why they're an 'old' friend. They made some of the nicest texture packs for Morrowind even to this day.
Love this mod so much! I have been modding morrowind for the past couple of months and this saved my sanity as it perfectly balances all 97 of my mods together.
After installing Tamriel Rebuilt and updating all my textures and meshes to perfection in my eye, I needed a fitting Velothi replacer to fit the new textures. After long thought and tests I decided to go for this one! Vivec-Velothi Retextured V3 is a great pack for Velothi architecture, but this one is better. Size wise it is smaller and sucks up less ressources and still looks great.
The textures are absolutely beautifull, the carvings give off an old feeling befitting of the dunmeri ancestor paintings and art style. The textures can look a bit dark though depending on how the light shines on it. Personaly I would make it just 1 or 2 nuances brighter.
I'm not sure why but this texture pack feels so 'right' to me, even though it strays slightly from the vanilla style. Maybe because I've spent time in very old buildings constructed of sandstone - they really do turn black after hundreds of years so I think the grime is accurate.
I can't get the textures to load, the city is still in original appearance. This happens for me with the Hlaalu retexture too. I extracted the files and copied them into the Data FilesTextures folder.
EDIT - I found the problem, had to redate my morrowind.bsa, bloodmoon.bsa etc. to an earlier date. That way the new textures are used since the originals are considered outdated or something.

While its a new style, it goes really well with the architecture and looks spectacular with MGE!
Endorsed!
Edit: nevermind got it working

If only Redoran and Telvanni architecture looked as good. *hint* *hint*
