High quality, .ESP free, model and texture replacer for the
Spider Egg Sacs and their harvestable Spider Egg ingredient.
The original Egg Sacs low-poly models in the initial 512x512 resolution have now been replaced with a higher quality model with 4k textures (although 2k is also available as optional file). The ingredient Spider Egg, also originally available in low-poly model with 128x64 resolution, is now replaced as well by a high-quality model with 4k textures (with 2k option also available).
I kept the original concept, but with a touch of uniqueness and creepiness. In vanilla, 4 completely sealed sacs of different sizes are present as static objects, and a 5ft open one, from which Spider Eggs can be collected, functions as a container.
I kept the same sizes and shapes, but 2 of the static ones now have the beginning of the crack where the hatchlings will emerge, being an intermediate shape between the completely sealed ones and the larger open one from which Spider Eggs can be collected.
It is worth noting that the vanilla Egg Sacs have a layer of webs attached to their meshes. These web layers are not of great quality and do not blend well with the sac models, leaving many visible seams. In the low-quality vanilla models this is not so visible and is the least of the problems, but it is more visible in the new models with much higher-quality textures. I then decided to remove this layer of webs from the meshes, since in the game on the places where they are implemented there are already many layers of webs added separately to such areas, and which involve the sacs as consequence, so it is not necessary for them to have their own layers embedded in their meshes.

- High quality new detailed model, 4k textures and 2k normal maps replacer for the 5 vanilla Spider Egg Sacs, world objects originally with textures with low resolution of 512 x 512 and very lowpoly and problematic models (NOTE - any mod that uses vanilla Spider Egg Sacs will also receive this replacer, thus maintaining quality and consistency);

So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The Shards of Immersion saga brings small elements that add a touch of immersion and realism to the fantastic world of Skyrim, making it even more alive and dynamic, which seems to exist beyond the adventure of the Dragonborn.
