SKYRIMLE Jeclredured - Spell Tomes

[Redferne]

A few days ago on my daily routine to see what's new in the Nexus, while following some links I found this:
https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34494
Here is the description: This mod is a retexture for the vanilla Spell Tomes that gives them their "color coded" respective book cover.
Also the retextures has hi-res textures & normal maps.
I've been using it for a few days and I have nothing to report other than it's one of those little nice addition to game that make modding so great.
It doesn't conflict with anything in STEP beside "Bethesda Hi-Res DLC Optimized".

I ate them, they looked yummy and I was hungry.

Fine! I'll regurgitate them.

Looks quite good, actually.

[Omolong]

This mod looks pretty good. I especially like the fact that the books aren't really vibrant colours any more.

[Eliian]

Looks good. Agree that no vibrant colors is most nice.

Most of the books are found in interiors/dungeons where light sources are (depending on the lighting mod) scarce and not very bright. Are the colors distinguishable under these circumstances or at least torchlight/magelight?

Yes they are actually. To be honest that how I noticed the mod worked the first time :D

They seem nice but frankly this level of detail will just wash right over me. I suppose there's little downside to using them - providing they do not increase the probability of crashes.

The pack is all in 1024x1024 for dds and normal so I guess the impact is minimal.

There are already several pack in STEP that add minimal changes to the game that you just guet used to but you immediatly notice when you forgot to re-add them :)

I have no preference ... the extent of the color variation in both seems unrealistic IMO, and I'd be more attracted to something more muted.

I'm with Z on this one. I can't really say which one looks better... They are different that's all I can say. I'm not convinced... What size are HR-DLC textures? If they are also 1024, then I'm not really bothered about either choice.

[Eliian]

The HR-DLC spell tomes are 1024. I can attest =)

 

Edit: They are actually bigger than this mod file size wise.

[rootsrat]

I'm against this mod then. There is no improvement IMHO and its just yet another mod to manage.

My personal opinion is... if you use Book Covers Skyrim then you should use this mod as well. They compliment each other nicely. Against strait vanilla could go either way but these are still very well done.

[Eliian]

I agree with Neovalen. At first I didn't like them, but they do go well with Book Covers. It fits a lot better. The colors seem much better too.
