Skyrim mods are their very own universe at this level. There’s modding, after which there’s Creation Engine modding. Even within the wake of full multiplayer mods and ChatGPT-powered companions, we at PC Gamer can not help however love the smaller, hyper particular adjustments some modders make, like Kabu’s Actually Gourd Plant Replacer.
“Assortment of excessive poly mesh and texture replacers for gourds utilizing 3d-scanned actual gourds,” the creator writes. “Lastly a sorely-needed full overhaul of the gourd plant!” The eye to element right here actually is staggering. There is a single harvestable “gourd” merchandise within the base recreation, however Kabu has taken the freedom of diversifying the gourd inhabitants, with cases of delicata squash, butternut squash, elongated pumpkin, and zucchini all behaving mechanically an identical to the generic gourd of yore.
Kabu sourced top quality free fashions created from 3D scans of the respective gourds, and has included an installer for getting the undertaking working with varied mod configurations. I actually cannot get sufficient of this type of mod and its heroic dedication to perfecting the trivialities of Bethesda’s janky worlds. See additionally johnskyrim’s rugs that may get messy and journey you, or the person they name Dave’s rum-induced ridiculously high-resolution rock textures.
Kabu’s earlier work contains tweaks to atronach salts and an overhaul of pumpkins—the gourd’s flashier, extra mainstream cousin. Actually, I contemplate pumpkins to be the Mario to the common-or-garden gourd’s Luigi. If Kabu’s quest to repopulate Skyrim with tremendous top quality alchemical ingredient fashions speaks to you on a deep stage, you may as well help the creator on Ko-fi or Patreon.
