HQ Firewood (fir)

-texture replacer-


This mod replaces the vanilla firewood ( ...textures\clutter\firewood\firewood01.dds & firewood01_n.dds) of skyrim with a new, more photorealistic one.
Old resolution was 512x256, the new one is 2048x1024. There is also low res versions with 1024x512 pixel, but only of the smooth version. Ask me if you want another low res version.
There are 6 different versions of this mod. "smooth, greeny, ragged, more ragged, less greeny, splinted"


I've made this mod because the old textures were to dark. Wood only becomes that dark and rough when its exposed to weather and sun several months/years. No one would do that with firewood because the wood looses its inflammableness. On the other side the npcs chop the wood everyday which supports the fact that it has to look like dry, freshly honed firewood.
The wood I've used for the mod, was at least 1 year old fir wood.

I hope you like it. Its made of some photos I took from our own fir wood.

Info: the bark you see on the screenshots is neither included in this mod, nor is it the texture from vanilla skyrim. To get the same texture you have to install Skyrim Flora Overhaul by vurt.



Installation:
Use NMM or simply extract with 7zip, move the textures folder to your ...Steam\SteamApps\common\skyrim\DATA and overwrite if prompted!

Remove the 2 files if you want back the vanilla firewood.
