rootsrat 11 Report post Posted January 25, 2014 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49543/ Again, from the author that I discovered today :) And again, I like it! It's a retexture of spriggans and matrons. The main file adds a new type of attronach to be summoned, but the retexture only is available in optionals. ::EDIT:: There are no retextures of these in current STEP.Compares:HRDLC(current STEP)->AMB(Book of Silence but not used in STEP)->Rens(replacer pack only) Spriggan front Spriggan face Spriggan back Spriggan Matron front Spriggan Matron face Spriggan Matron back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoYouEvenModBro 5 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 I like the Spriggans and Matrons so if nothing else, this can be used in STEP for those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoYouEvenModBro 5 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 Anyone care to post before/after screens?It's an entirely new atronach, so there is no before.Yea, but it uses a Spriggan Matriarch or whatever they're called as the Atronarch. There is no added creature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no added creature. There's a standalone Atronach file (doesn't interfere with vanilla Spriggans) and there's a replacer (replaces Spriggan textures and matriarch textures).

z929669 2 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 I am mainly referring to the replacer versus vanilla, but it would be good to see the Atronach in action and how it pertains to the game as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rootsrat 11 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 Ok, here goes. For this one, I noticed that the separate retexture optional file DOES NOT overwrite any vanilla files when installed. Rengel, could you shed some light on this please? CORRECTION: It's the Wisp Mother retexture that does not overwrite any vanilla files, not this one. Nevertheless, the below showed in my game for spriggan texture... At the moment, the spriggan has no texture applied to it, however the spriggan matron one works perfectly fine. Apologies for not 1:1 compares, but it's hard to take perfect shots of hostile toons in game. I do like the Matron retexture I must say, but Spriggan needs to be fixed.

statmonster 22 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 What do you think of the quality of the original versus revised and how it looks in game. It's hard to reach a conclusion from the screenshots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoYouEvenModBro 5 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 What do you think of the quality of the original versus revised and how it looks in game. It's hard to reach a conclusion from the screenshots.Agreed. I can't tell a difference between the Matriarchs. They look identical to me. I'm not saying that this is the case...because I have no proof of that whatsoever...but in OTHER mods, sometimes you don't realize that the mod isn't that impressive until you look at the HRDLC and realize it's just a SLIGHTLY sharper version (cough telvanni reborn cough). Again, not saying that's the case here at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use Spriggan and Matron Replacer file from Optional Files section on Nexus. I installed it in Mod Organizer, as per usual, double clicking on the file. It replaces the following files for me: ::EDIT:: Jeezas, I feel like I'm back at work - I test software for a living and this feels like bug reporting :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rootsrat 11 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 Ah! Nice one :) Glad you got it sorted and that it was such a trivial error! Downloading now. ::EDIT:: Think the servers are still syncing the file. Will get it when it available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
