SKYRIMLE Vivid Landscapes - Orcs and Farmhouses (by Aron)

[Nearox]

We have had extensive comparisons and discussions on farmhouses already, but I couldn't help but notice Aron's new mod...

 

Vivid Landscapes - Orcs and Farmhouses

 

Especially after watching the Hodilton video, I think Aron did a really beautiful job once again here (At around 1:20 the comparisons start)

 

 

 

I like especially how everything integrates so well since he covered all textures related to the farms and longhouses. The fence looks better than the one from SMIM (plus VL has a patch that reduces the flickering from the fences). Colors blend in really well between interiors and exteriors. The rooftops are refreshing and realistic with some mossy stuff on it. The parallax (something which not many farmhouse texture packs have) gives everything some extra depth. 

 

If only I could sit behind my game PC right now and observe this ingame!

 

What do you think?

hmm... It's so hard to avoid subjective opinion and come to real conclusions.

I'm with you on the fences, they look really good but the thatching is just too jarring in my opinion, but not having much experience with thatched roofing, who am I to say.

 

The timbers are, different, but are they better?

The flooring pavers though just look wrong. They look too rough and not worn down with all the feet marching up and down on them for who knows how long. The vanilla ones are flat and smooth as I would expect them to be.

 

2 cents given.

My first impression with this mod was positive.. Since I do personally have my own textures for the wood I most likely wont use those.. but I really do love the roofs! By far the most natural and weather worn example of them I have seen yet! Really do like that look. Much better then most of the others which tend to look like the roof was made fresh last week. 

 

Still not entirely sure if I like the rocks.. but they do blend I have to admit.
