parasyte79 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Discussion thread: Ruins Clutter Improvement by raiserfx Wiki Link Hello, I just wanted to bring this mod to your attention. From reading the comments, seems that this mod does NOT conflict with SMIM or Re-Defined Dungeons WIP, both of which you have included in the STEP guide. Dungeons puzzle pillars, the puzzle doors and random clutter have been updated and are vastly improved in my opinion. Please review this mod for consideration to be added to the next iteration of the STEP guide.
EisDrache Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 I will have to say i have just started useing this mod and it looks pretty good and no other mod has worked on this area of things so it works really well with all other texture mods
TheCompiler Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Great catch! PS: Seems tailored for STEP since, as Drache pointed out, no mods still covers those textures, and the quality is okay. Definitely a must-have!
parasyte79 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Posted April 6, 2012 Glad to have helped! :D Love the STEP project and your guides!

z929669 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 An great example of what a dash of Wrye Bash and a bit of documentation can achieve ;)

Thanks... You can Google the Comressonator for that. Very nice, however, you will not see it in proper context (i.e., wrapped around the mesh). I know that you can use NifScope and the CK to do this, but not sure if normal maps are rendered accurately in each of those.
MontyMM Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 That's a solid improvement. Those vanilla carved symbol textures in particular are dreadful.

stoppingby4now Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Haven't tested this myself. Any word yet on which versions are better for the conflicts?
Staind716 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 This one looks really good in game and should definetly be included. I actually just overwrote my other files with this one and I am happy with the results. So far the only change I am not crazy about is the candles but the rest is really nice work.
frihyland Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 This mod is extremely well done and perfectly complementary with all the other STEP mods. This is because it was designed to work with 5 other STEP mods (Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM by Brumbek, Re-Defined Dungeons WIP by Gizmo, Nordic ruins objects retexture by Mordimer, Ruins urn retexture by Mordimer, HD Linens by rivybeast ).Highly recommended. Improved candles and HD Claws must be uninstalled before installing this (they have additional files that will conflict and look like crap), all other conflicts should be overwritten by this (should be installed after Redefined dungeons and skyrim redesigned). I recommend HD Claws and Improved Candles be removed from STEP.
skwareballz Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 2.2 just dropped, here's the changelog: Reworked the textures of the dwemer pottery and barrels Updated the pouch mesh on all carriages Slightly adjusted the nordic puzzle door texture The Katariah clutter looks less rusty now
