Simple mesh adjustment that changes the top and bottom of the forge to match the mid-texture
I've been forging for a while now and I feel like there are very few textures that touch Forge. I think some great texture artists have touched on it by now, and after looking at the mesh in nifskope I understand why: stonewall01 is used in the middle of the forge, and blacksmithforge01 is used on the top and bottom. So basically any texturer has to take into account every stonewall texture out there to create a decent matching texture.
This mod just changes the top and bottom textures to use the stonewall01 texture. This way your forges will all match.
Be sure to choose a stonwall01 texture that you like, and look not only at forges, but also at farmhouses and similar buildings. Off the top of my head I can recommend textures from Mystiriousdawn or Luxor (be sure to grab Luxor's Raven Rock texture, for RR Forge), primary or alternative. Pfuscher may also have a nice texture.
Tuned EHD forges are also available and simply fit behind the main.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
