Elemental Staffs LE

Description
Elemental Staffs is a texture change mod designed to change almost every staff in the game.
Destruction Staffs have undergone the greatest changes, going from the single vanilla staff to nine separate versions in this mod, three tiers across the three element types plus some additional special staves.
There are two Alteration staff texture sets, three Conjuration staff sets, three Illusion staff sets and two Restoration staff sets.
Assorted special instance staffs like Halldir's staff and Tandil's Staff, which have been given appropriate texture changes.
The four Falmer Destruction and Summoning staves have been given glow maps and appropriate colour changes to eyes and mandibles.
The Forsworn Destruction staff has had its 'bone crystal structure' changed to a glowing fire-like crystal.
The two "Dragon Priest" staffs have been altered in name and appearance to match Hevnoraak's Staff, I intend make them more unique in a future update but for now all three have only small elemental edits.

Staff Stats have not been altered, they will all function just as in vanilla.

Specific Destruction Staff changes:
Wooden (Weak Tier) Staffs:

Fire Element:
Staff of Firebolts
Staff of Flames

Ice Element:
Staff of Ice Spikes
Staff of Frostbite

Storm Element:
Staff of Sparks
Staff of Lightning Bolts

Enhanced Vanilla (Medium Tier) Staffs:

Fire Element:

@Void, the Violet Knight
You're going to be VERY hard pressed to find any mod that doesn't require all 3 DLCs unless it's prior to 2013- and that was 7 years ago

Could you make a version that DOESN'T require all 3 DLCs? I ownly have Hearthfire by a fluke, and don't feel like spending $40 to use mods that randomly require all 3 DLCs.

@House of Phoenix, try unchecking the "subscribe to thread" box right above the most resent comment.

No idea. Especially since Steam is super inconsistent about it.

Ah, alright. Thanks for explaining that.

@Hotpants, basically it's like this, I released the other versions with the file system "Elemental Staves" in 2012, I have been upgrading the mod here and there on the Nexus since that time. While doing that, the file system has changed to "Elemental_Staffs" (when SE was released I think) so on the Nexus everything is under the new system but the other version of this mod here on steam I have up is on the old system.

SO, I updated the other steam version to 2.01 (the current mod version) on the old system so that people who are already using it get the basically completed mod. But I would need to do that every time I update going forward, so I've uploaded this steam version under the new system which is what will be updated.

The basic takeaway is that this mod (Elemental Staffs LE) will get updates in future in line with the Nexus, but the other mod (Elemental Staffs) will remain at v2.01 forever, but as they are both v2.01 they are currently identical.

So what's the difference between this and the previous version? I don't really use staves, myself (downloaded it for flavor), so I'm sure what's changed. Is it just a refinement of the new textures?
