With your permission, I'd like to revitalize this mod. Most Paradise mods simply let you return to it or something along those lines, but yours is the only one to actually portray it as a unique, alien and yet still familiar world like a realm of Oblivion made by a deranged madman (Mankar Camoran that is, not you). Though if you'll let me, I'd love to give this a new "feel" that uses assets from the DLC's made for Oblivion. I'm also more than happy to give edits to Camoran and his children as well as adding some Daedric and animal NPC's to the realm. Again, this would only be done with your permission and if you don't want it done and I'll drop it and never touch the files or your work.
EDIT: I can't believe I didn't mention this earlier, but I'd also give you credit for the original work of your mod. This was yours and yours alone, I'd just be re-continuing this mod. To jumpstart that is.
Finally, someone bothered to rework Mankar Camaron's Paradise. It definitely gives an "otherworldy" feeling now. My only gripes are found within a missing texture (or I believe it is a mesh?) involving the crystals. That is to say they all appear purple to me. Also, the caves reworking are extensive and impressive, but I suggest you also replace the entire texture of the original cave. It looks a little wierd when I come across a retextured boulder but the cave still looks the same. My last suggestion deals with the last area where you meet Mankar himself. Perhaps some area lighting or give him some new clothing?
Other then that, like someone else said, this has a great potential to be something great. Even though the play experience for Paradise lasts not but a half hour, it's stuff like this that makes that half hour so much more enjoyable.
Alright, I have some before and after images uploaded for you all, and for some reason there are now two of each in different resolutions, even though I only successfuly uploaded them once. Weird, eh?
This looks very cool, but in all honesty I would prefer if there were some before/after shots so I could see if I want to change the Paradise. I'll keep an eye on this mod, though, it has some potential.
Are your trees retextured as well? So far it looks pretty interesting. From my point of view, Camoran's Paradise was originally designed aqua, turquoise and minty white as a contrast to the plains of Oblivion (kinda really surprised me to hop into the place my first time).
It would be cool if you could post before/after shots of the areas you edited. Your mod looks great, but since it's been so long since I got to Camoran's Paradise, I can't remember if I thought it needed changing or not.

Regardless, a very nice mod.
I'll make an update for it in a few days or so as well
