Description
A group of mods to make the original game that little bit better. No massive gameplay changing items, many are cosmetic alterations. I've also stuck with mods that do not require external files. I like to keep it simple through the Steam Workshop.

Realistic Map ! First I have a replacement map - with roads ! The amount of times I've gone across country to a map marker only to run into an impassable mountain is embarrassing. This helps cut down on that.

Arrowsmith v3b - Simple Fletching - Something that should have been in the game from the beginning, how they omitted this is anyone's guess.

More blood, because everyone likes blood, right? And armoured horses, because they look good.

Stones of Barenziah is a convenience item. Like the modder says in his description, if you wanted to collect all of the stones you'd have to scour every bandit hideout and underground cave system there is. Or go to an online guide, this cuts out having to do that by placing markers for the stones directly onto the map like other quests.

Texture improvements to Water, Snow, and Ice have been included. To make the world look that little bit better. Depending on the specification of your computer, they may affect performance, so try them and see !


([Update:

I've made the collection selective for the moment since Oblivious Horses stops Armoured Horses working :( You'll have to choose one or the other.]

Speaking of horses, I've included Oblivious Horses as I've got to the point where I've lost too many horses to them running into a camp of bandits by themselves. I have the special horse Frost at the moment so I'm not too keen on losing him.])
