About this image

I loved the way White Gold Tower looked with OA_HD Overhaul's textures, but I was not at all interested in changing the textures of everything else in the city to the same Ayleid-style textures. White Gold Tower was once known as the Temple of the Ancestors to the Ayleids and was truly ancient. I found it hard to believe that the rest of the stonework around the Imperial City was just as old. The style of the stone doesn't look anything like that of Ayleid ruins and the columns around the tower are exactly the same as those around Wayshrines - Ayleids didn't build those!

To fix this, I saved new meshes that used the textures from OA_HD Overhaul just for White Gold Tower itself and placed it and it's LOD Meshes in all the worldspaces where the tower normally appears (such as the world space Tamriel and each district one).

I've been very happy with the result because now the tower is unique in the city and truly looks like the ancient Temple of the Ancestors, captured from the Ayleids and around which a huge capital city was later developed by different architects.

Just wanted to share the idea for anyone else who is interested or able.
