About this mod

Combines Higher Poly Vanilla Wall Baskets with Nordic Carving - Wallbaskets using Base Object Swapper for more wall basket diversity.

I've been using Nordic Carving - Wallbaskets for some time now and it is great, but for some reason I recently started to miss the vanilla wall baskets. Somehow it does not feel quite like Skyrim without them decorating the walls. So, to enjoy the best of both, I decided to mix the two options using Base Object Swapper. 

I created higher poly versions of the vanilla wall baskets (available as a standard mesh replacer here: Higher Poly Vanilla Wall Baskets) to use as the "swap" meshes. In this way you can replace Nordic Carvings with any other mod that replaces the vanilla wall basket meshes to get the same affect. If you do not use a vanilla mesh replacer this mod will be swapping between the low poly vanilla meshes and my higher poly ones. Obviously this is not the intended use case, but it will do no harm to your game.

SMIM replaces the 2D feathers of the vanilla baskets with proper 3D ones but does not change the baskets itself. So I used SMIM as a starting point and then smoothed out the round baskets and five sided sticks that the feathers hang from. Static Mesh Improvement Mod (SMIM) is a hard requirement else you will not have the feather textures and these will be purple in your game. Load my mod after SMIM (overwrite the SMIM meshes).

Nordic Carving - Wallbaskets is not a hard requirement, as my mod includes no assets from it, but my mod was made with Nordic Carving in mind as the intended use case. All screenshots were taken with the Nordic Carving - Wallbaskets replacer version active in my load order.

Plugin has been flagged ESL. 

Wall Basket Variants - Regional Distribution: cbgreely created an alternate swap file that implements regional distribution instead of random distribution. Follow the link to their Nexus page, download the their swap file and have it overwrite my one. Please remember to endorse their work if you enjoy it. Thanks to cbgreely for sharing with the community. 

Installation:
Use your preferred mod manager to install as per normal.
Overwrite when prompted / give my mod priority.
