About this mod

Better Weapon - Armor - Actor Texture Mod (W.A.A.T) is a mod that slightly improves weapons, armors and actor textures.

I really like how Skyrim looks, but when I reworked some textures in Photoshop, I got a better steel effect for example on the nordplate armor. So i started changing textures for other objects too. And I really liked those changes. Then I changed the skeleton textures and Draugr textures (male only for now) which really looks more scary now.

What I changed in this first version:

Imperial Armor
Stormcloak Armor
Nordplate Armor (except gauntlets)
Male Draugr with armor
Steel Sword
Stormcloak Solitude
Studded Armor


The textures are not over-saturated or such, I also reworked the normal map for each item, some default ones had some blocky artifacts in (due to compression), so i smoothed it a bit and made it stronger so that the detail can come out more (but also not over done). There is no performance hit since the textures are still in its original size.

Updates and more textures will come in the future. If you have any special request, just let me know and I will see what I can do ;)

How to Install:

copy the texture folder into your "Skyrim\Data\" folder

How to Deinstall:

To deinstall those textures, simply delete the texture folder in you Skyrim\Data folder. Or if you have more texture mods installed, simply delete the files in the texture mod that you dont want.

IMPORTANT

Due to my slow internet connection I can't upload a main file with every update I make. So instead, I will release update folders, so when you have the main file (v 0.1) you simply need to download the next version and extract the textures in your Skyrim texture folder.

If you have any questions, please write a comment here and I shall answer you asap.
