This replaces the texture of the oil pit traps found in questionable places throughout Skyrim. Textures are available in x256, x512, x1024 and x2048 sizes.

This is a conversion of Ramccoid's amazing mod OIL. The original creator passed away earlier this year and I didn't want his work to become obsolete. He looks like he has open access turned on, so I plan on converting any mods he hasn't converted yet. Take a break Roy, your work was and still is great.

original description

I found the oil trap puddles to look bland and uninteresting, and in fact a real pain in the eyes when using environment textures. I introduced a new moving vortex that looked oilier and I made 3 types of replacements but could only use one at a time.

Vanilla with new swirls - Use similar colors to vanilla with new swirl effects.

Vanilla and Swirls - Uses a similar color to Vanilla, but retains the default swirl effect.

Oily Water Effect - Gives oil an iridescent effect, like it's floating on water.

Textures are available in x256, x512, x1024 and x2048 sizes.

compatibility

Incompatible with anything that changes these meshes used in this mod.

MOD HISTORY

Version 1.0: Initial version

Version 1.1: Updated cubemaps to stop the effect from disappearing in some cases.

Version 2.0: Version with vanilla swirls and vanilla colors eliminated, because if you want them to be like the default version, don't install this mod. Textures have been improved on the remaining versions, and cubemaps have been enhanced and improved so that they reflect the environment. Smooth the normal map to make it look less bulky. Now, ENB works fine and the effect disappears and there is no problem anymore. Thanks to Zerwas1 and frozenunswaidon for their valuable suggestions.

This is a conversion of Ramccoid's amazing mod OIL. The original creator passed away at the beginning of this year and I didn't want  his work to get left behind. He left open permissions it looks like so I plan to convert any of his mods that weren't already converted. Rest in piece Roy,  your work was, and still is fantastic.

Original Description

I found the oil trap puddles to look bland and uninteresting, in fact quite a eye sore when using environmental retextures. I've introduced a new more oil looking moving swirl and I've made 3 types of replacers but you can only use one at a time.

Vanilla colours with new swirl - this uses similar colours to vanilla with a new swirl effect.

Vanilla colours and swirl - this uses similar colours to vanilla but keeps the default swirl effect.

Oily water effect - this gives the rainbow colours effect to the oil as if it is floating upon water.

available in x256, x512, x1024 and x2048 sized textures.

COMPATIBILITY

Not compatible with anything which changes these meshes used in this mod.

MOD HISTORY

version 1.0: initial release

version 1.1: Updated cube map to stop effect from disappearing under certain circumstances.

version 2.0: Eliminated vanilla swirls and vanilla colours versions because if you want them like the default, don't install this mod. Improved textures of both remaining versions and enhanced and improved cube maps giving them a environment reflection. Smoothed out the normal map to look less bulky. Now works well will ENBs and should have no more problems with the effect disappearing. Credits to Zerwas1 and frozunswaidon  for their invaluable advice.
