I really like that this uses screenshots and fanart instead of generic fantasy images or renaissance paintings, it feels like a tribute to the game and community.
REALLY late reply but answering just in case someone else is wondering! Yes it is safe to install and uninstall mid playthrough, as these are just textures, nothing else.
I really like the look of these replacers. The paintings from what I have seen, look really good. I'll definitely look to include this in a future playthrough at some point.
Thank you for creating and sharing this. I'm just coming back after taking a 5-6 month break from playing and I am so glad to see a replacer for these. I always use LOTD and contemplated replacing the paintings with one of the few others available, but didn't like them enough to bother. The replacements are so expansive (including tapestries and wall murals is brilliant) and beautiful, it is a no brainer for me!
Thank you, these look wonderful. However, when I installed this, it conflicts with a bunch of paintings from Wyrmstooth (?). Now, this is my first playthrough with Wyrmstooth installed, and I have kept everything spoiler free, so I don't want to investigate. Are there unique paintings in Wyrmstooth that are shared with LOTD or something?
Wyrmstooth, Enhanced Solitude, Enhanced Solitude Docks, Interesting NPCs and LotD all share in the same pool of paintings. If you just load the 5 of those, they will all 5 of them conflict. They share assets for painting canvases, frames, and some of the papers.
Several of the paintings are exactly the same image between the mods. Some versions of the same image are clearer or more saturated, but still the same base image. None of the mods completely over-writes the others, so there are a few originals in each. But whichever you load last will be the one you see for the majority.
I was not aware of that, hmmm, the more you know, I guess. How big, do you suppose this pool of paintings is, and which mod does it comes from? I don't recall anything like that in the vanilla game.
Oh, I was not aware of those conflicts, I only knew of Solitude texture mods conflicting a bit in my game. Thanks for VesperXeni for clarifying! I'm not sure about Wyrmstooth but you can always not replace those files with mine so they show up as intended, you can always reinstall my textures if you don't like the Wyrmstooth ones.
I saw this and immediately downloaded it, and as a plus, it takes up no esp slots (yeeeaahh!) I haven't had a chance to see how it looks in game yet but from what I've seen it's the first replacer for the paintings that was worth downloading. I 've seen the other two replacers that you mention but I never bothered to download them because they always seemed more like photographs then actual paintings. I don't know how you managed to make CGI created pictures look like pre Raphaelite oil paintings but I absolutely love it. I love LOTD to death but they have some really ugly modern style paintings that are rather immersion breaking. Anyhow, thank you very much for your fantastic mod, I look forward to future releases of yours, also endorsed! P.S. love the inigo painting!
Thanks for your comment, it make my day :) Yeah I really wanted to emulate a realistic painting feel, glad you think I pulled it off! All the thanks go to Photoshop's built-in Oil painting filter, then overlaying a texture layer and of course many of the images themselves look kind of painterly to begin with - lighting is really important imo and people have used it really creatively in their screenshots!
