A splash screen replacer for Parapets' Desktop Splash Screen using official Skyrim Anniversary Edition art. Other variants available that follow that similar style.

The goal is to have a splash that resembles the default splash of Desktop Splash Screen, with that neat black leather background and clean elements, the same style present in the official splash art used for publishing and advertising the game.

Choose one from the available splashes:
  • Anniversary Edition
  • Special Edition
  • Special Edition White (Custom made by me)
  • Special Edition Gold (Custom made by me)

Requirements
  • Desktop Splash Screen - For the SKSE plugin that makes this possible.
  • (Only required for Randomizer option) Main Menu Randomizer SE - Provides a plugin that, on the game startup, randomly selects only one directory from a pool of candidates and only uses the files on the selected directory in the game. Originally intended to be used to randomize the main menu, by setting up multiple main menu images of which only one is chosen at the startup. However, it also works for Desktop Splash Screen, by setting up the splash.png files in a specific file structure. Tutorial/explanation here.

Installation
Download the desired splash individually, or use the FOMOD installer.

FOMOD available with an option for a randomizer, allowing you to choose multiple splashes, and one of them being chosen at random at the start up of the game. Requires Main Menu Randomizer SE.
Randomizer with my splashes works right out of the box by using the FOMOD, and I highly recommend it.

In either case, load this mod's files AFTER the files of Desktop Splash Screen.

Artwork
Official art belongs to Bethesda.
Art is either the official art of the game that is used for publishing and advertising, or publicly available modifications to that art.
Any current or future artwork that is custom designed by me will properly be marked as such.

The images needed to be cropped and/or resized to the required 835x400 to work with the mod.
