These are pretty much increased res of vanilla. Not totally made from scratch I believe, but an improvement.
 
vanilla->Eldrich low res
bridge

bones and skull

hut

tent

 
There are some textures in vanilla that just look awful and flat. These add some depth and look much better in game.

[DoubleYou]

Those are looking purdy.

Marked for Testing.

My only complaint here is there is no snow on the tent hut that is in the weather. Is it snow-proof? Other than that this look good.

[EssArrBee]

Actually all those are in a cave except the hut. There is a tent with snow on it on the mountains, but I couldn't get a good angle on it.

[TechAngel85]

HUT! I meant hut...

[EssArrBee]

Yeah there was snow on everything outdoors except those huts for some reason. They have an animation though, so that might have something to do with it. Bridges, tents, and all the other stuff has snow when outdoors. That does make me kinda question how all that snow got into those caves in the first place? And how did it get underneath the reikling's stuff.

[DoubleYou]

I always assumed the snow blew into the caves.

[EssArrBee]

Yeah, but those pictures are like way into the cave, not even close to the entrance. I don't remember seeing any openings in the top either, just ice everywhere. I totally think there would be snow in the entrances, that would taper off as you got inward. Plus, all the fire would melt it deeper in the cave.

This mod basically looks like it makes the textures darker but doesn't necessarily add any detail :-/. I like his apocrypha mod better. 

[TechAngel85]

That one was abandoned during last testing. I say we add it. Probably have to hide the Stalhrim texture to keep Sparrows.

 

Final vote: Yes for Extended

 

I only say Extended due to the deviation from vanilla for the huts. This could be overlooked and be put in Core.

[EssArrBee]

I completely forgot about this mod. There is one for Apophyrca or w/e it's called too. Most of the stuff in this mod is upscale and sharpening, but there are some changes that legit retextures.

[Kelmych]

If you add this would you also add the author's Apocrypha mod also?

[TechAngel85]

If you add this would you also add the author's Apocrypha mod also?

If we get it into testing and it turns out to be good.

[EssArrBee]

I think I've been using this mod since I tested it way back. I like since nothing else really covers those areas of DB. I vote yes.
