Description:
==================

This is an addon package for SparrowPrince's original Moss Rocks mod, which is now bundled in The Ruffled Feather mod package. Moss Rocks replaces the ugly shader moss with higher quality texture moss. This addon mod applies these same changes to all of the rocks and mountains of Solstheim, from the Dragonborn DLC.

Sparrowprince and I worked together to get this done. He donated his resources and shared some of his knowledge, while I did the modding, packaging and release. This expansion requires that you have the original mod installed. If not, you will be missing some meshes. This package only contains newly edited meshes and the rest of them are being provided by the original mod. The ESP from this addon is not dependent on the original ESP. This means that, in theory, load order doesnt really matter. However, convention says that you place this plugin immediately aftert the main Moss Rocks.esp file. You can make a custom rule in LOOT that will do this for you.
